East Meets West: Acupuncture and Western
Medicine Combine
Demystify your health care!
After
receiving acupuncture during cancer treatments,
Lois became intrigued with the benefits of
alternative medicine. She found it to be a very
effective therapy
that allowed her to reduce medication, relieve
pain and lessen stress. As a result, she
went back to school and became a licensed
acupuncturist. Lois has devoted both her
personal and professional life in the pursuit of tools,
information, and other resources to assist
patients and their families learn how to more
effectively cope with health challenges. Having been on both sides of
the health care spectrum as a patient and a
provider, Lois passionately believes in the healing
power of treating each client as an individual,
taking the time to listen intently to their
needs and concerns while also addressing their
personal health care goals. Besides
providing acupuncture treatments she is also
able to provide education, inspiration,
practical transformational tools, and be a
conduit to medical experts in the service of
people who are facing the possibility of a life
threatening disease, people who are dealing with
disease, and the family members of those who are
afflicted. To learn more about Grow4Healing, acupuncture and Lois, please call 774-278-4082, email Lois at lois@grow4healing.com or visit www.grow4healing.com. |

Hopkinton Announces
Successful Start to 1:1 Laptop Program
Prior to the start of school, the high school conducted five student orientation sessions for all students, whereby 95% of the freshman class attended with a parent or guardian. During these sessions, parents/guardians were given an overview of parental controls and students were given reminders about Internet safety and etiquette. During the orientation, students also received instruction on the policy and procedures of the program, as well as direction on the use of their device. Students with new Macbook Air computers were given instructions on using the operating system, while students who would be bringing their own devices received instruction on software they would need along with recommended tools to assist them in the classroom. Referencing Assistant Principal Ashoke Ghosh who provided much of the instruction, Schofield stated, “Mr. Ghosh definitely helped us set up our Macs in a way that makes it easier for us to learn.” Kathy Dooley, the districts’ technology director, is pleased with the first few days of the rollout, “My team has worked countless hours for months preparing for this week. I am proud of how hard they have worked. Seeing how excited the students are now has made it all worth it!” Dooley reported that by 8:00 am Wednesday morning, 460 wireless devices were on the network with a maximum of 540 by the end of the day. Those numbers included approximately 300 devices that were part of the 1:1 program. Dooley noted, “Most concerns reported to the Technology Center since Wednesday have been related to user accounts and forgotten passwords.” Principal Alyson Geary spent much of the first day of school at a table outside the Technology Center assisting students with questions as they arose. Ms. Geary reports “ The 9th graders appear very excited about this new opportunity and I am enjoying the chance to get to know them personally by assisting them with the 1:1 program.” Students have already received an overview of Google Apps for Education and Moodle Learning Management System. They have already been making good use of the devices and have utilized Moodle to access course content; however, the training doesn’t end there. All students will be enrolled in a freshman seminar course to help them learn the most effective technology tools to maximize learning and increase efficiency and organizational skills. Similarly, teachers are receiving ongoing support in developing effective ways to utilize technology in a learning environment. Technology integration specialist, Colleen Worrell, spent the majority of this week meeting with teachers who are excited to explore new ways to integrate technology into their classrooms. The district has planned workshops and computer support programs to take place over the course of the year to ensure continual growth and effective use of technology at Hopkinton High School.

MISSING CAT
I am very mellow and friendly; nothing bothers me, and I am very approachable, yet reserved; so come to me, because I won't go to you.
I went "Tomcatting" on Sunday, September 2, 2012 from Parker Point Road, Hopkinton (Woodville area near Whitehall Lake), but have apparently wandered out of my comfort zone, whatever that is.
If you find me or see me, please give me a can of tuna and some treats, and then contact: Erica Thomas 508-259-0761 or eyennithomas@gmail.com
While we await her arrival, I would not be against playing with a ball of yarn, or ridding your lakefront home of mice. |

Fast Response September 6, 2012 — Hopkinton Firefighters were on scene with dispatch yesterday afternoon to help put down a fire started following the collision of the Toyota truck and the Jeep above. One firefighter said it began when the headlight assembly was shorted after the crash. The white power on the ground is from the chemical used to suppress the fire.

Covering New Ground September 5, 2012 — These tractor trailer trucks that were in crawling traffic on Route 495 northbound yesterday afternoon got off the highway and were among others that meandered through the sleepy back roads of Hopkinton, looking for a faster way to their destinations. There were there as a result of a tractor trailer cab fire in the northbound lane of Route 495. The highway was closed as a result. Above, the trucks are heading southbound on Route 85 near the state park entrance after turning around before the railroad bridge across the line in Southborough and doubling back. Coincidentally, there were two police officers in the area, one for a multi-car collision at Cedar Street Extension, and another investigating a possible vehicle in the water, who offered directions to the truckers. The call regarding the vehicle was from a passenger on the T Commuter Rail, who thought she saw it in passing. Photo below was taken of an inbound train heading toward the Southborough station at the time of the investigation. FYI, the engine is in the rear. Officer Stephen Buckley investigated, but did not find a partially submerged vehicle as reported

The Scream of the Butterfly... September 4, 2012 — Eric Carty shares this photo he took of a praying mantis on his porch yesterday. It is a strong and ferocious predator of other insects. The late poet Jim Morrison of The Doors said he wanted to hear "...the scream of the butterfly..." in one of his songs. A butterfly in the terrifying grasp of this large insect will flap its wings so hard and fast as to emit a shrill sound while it is being consumed alive. |

Waning Season September 2, 2012 — This fine sandal propped on a rock on the shore of Hopkinton Reservoir has a story behind its travel to this spot. Was someone on a kayak or a paddle board and fell off, sending one sandal to the deep temporarily? A good Samaritan saw it float to shore and left it for its owner to find? Its owner has stories, too, perhaps of a young life in its own spring, ready for many more summers, and with them, the rich, memorable, meaningful stories that accompany them. |

September
7, 2012 — Lois Grow
September
7, 2012 — Wednesday morning, Hopkinton High School
welcomed a new freshman class to the school, as students
arrived toting laptop computers in their backpacks.
After months of planning and preparation, the school
year began with the roll-out of a new 1:1 laptop
program. Most students at Hopkinton High School are
leasing brand new Macbook Air computers operating on the
newest Apple operating system called Mountain Lion.
Students had a choice of either bringing their own
device, or entering into a four-year lease program for
the Macbook Air. Regardless of the device, students
arrived excited, recognizing they were part of something
new. Freshman class president Austin Schofield said, “I
think the Tech Department makes it really easy with
these transitions to the laptops.” When asked about the
1:1 program, Schofield stated, “They [laptops] are
really helpful and it makes learning a lot more fun and
definitely more efficient.” He reported that he has
already used his computer in all of his classes.
My
name is Hermes (Yes, I know my name. I am not a
goldfish. And no, I am not the Greek messenger god,
either). I am a large (15 lbs) black and white "tuxedo"
3-year-old male cat. I have 2 different colored eyes due
to an illness I had as a as a kitten.
