Fundraiser
Event Benefits Innovation in Hopkinton Public Schools
Hopkinton,
October 16, 2012 - The Hopkinton Education Foundation is
delighted to announce that this year’s Winter Fundraising Event
will be a Casino Cocktail Party
that will be on Saturday, March 9, 2013 from 8pm to midnight at
the Warren Center, Hayden Lodge in Ashland.
Tickets for the event will go on sale in
December and will be limited to the first 250 attendees.
Additional information can be found at
www.hopkintoneducationfoundation.org or on
Facebook.
“This event will
be a fun evening of socializing, gaming, auction and raffle
prizes. Best of all, it goes to support an organization that is
a key partner with our schools and teachers,” remarked Stephanie
Szewczyk, chairperson of the event.
The Education
Foundation has already secured several desirable auction items,
including four Disney Park Hopper passes and a fun Red Sox
Package. Additionally, in the spirit of innovation, the event
planning team is lining up state-of-the-art ticket purchasing
and bidding solutions. Be prepared for a little bit of WOW!
This year’s Casino Cocktail Party marks a change in the
Education Foundation’s traditional Gala event. “We are already
planning a more traditional Formal Gala for 2014,” said Szewczyk,
“but, again, in the spirit of innovation, we thought it would be
fun to switch it up for this year and give people a fresh
event.”

Rescue on the Res Capsized Canoe Victims Tell Their Stories
October 14, 2012 — What do a 58 year-old
man who works part time in a hardware store, self-publishes
books with trivia and unique anecdotes, and a 10 year-old
Hopkinton boy who owns an iguana, three toads, two
bullfrogs, two cats and an adopted dog have in common? They
were together in a canoe when it capsized on Hopkinton
Reservoir on a blustery Saturday eight days ago.
Dover
Native Michael King joined the Big Brother program last
year, and just a few weeks ago the program finally called
and said they had a perfect fit. That match was Hopkinton
resident, ten year-old Liam Balaban, whom Mr. King credits
with saving his life on October 6, 2012, when their rented
canoe capsized in the middle of Hopkinton Reservoir in
choppy water and gusting winds.
"He's
smart and is really a good kid," said Mr. King.
"Liam
was fishing and we were trying to turn the canoe around as
the wind kept pushing us toward the dam. As we tried to
turn, the canoe started taking on water, and it capsized."
They called out to shore for help.
"A man
on shore [blond, dark grey tee-shirt] called 911. Hopkinton
State Park employees Sean and Justin were very helpful and
reassuring," he said.
"A man
from shore [white tee-shirt] swam out and
helped pull the boat and had a hold of Michael," Liam said in
an interview yesterday, one week after the memorable event.
The good Samaritan remains unidentified.
"The doctor said I had the equivalent of five stress tests,"
Mr. King said. "They found evidence in my blood of a cardiac
episode."
Both agreed that it was Liam's idea to swim toward shore,
with him grabbing the boat and Michael doing the backstroke.
Liam said his favorite subject in school is math, and his
favorite things to do are collecting animals and singing.
See and hear them in their own words, in the hi-def video
below:

laws and distribution of a Class A substance. Taken into custody
were:

Senior Moments Informative, Free Seminar for
Seniors
by Nancy L. Drawe (Punky) Are you getting ready to retire and not sure what you need to
know before you take the big step? The Hopkinton Senior Center
is ready to help you answer all your questions with some very
important seminars on Saturday, October 20, from 9am to 12 pm.
These seminars are perfect for all you Baby Boomers as well as
working seniors. With the many services available that morning,
you’ll be able to obtain the answers you need to get all your
affairs in order.
Starting at 9 am, “Medicare 101” is the first
seminar scheduled. S.H.I.N.E. (Serving Health Insurance Needs of
Elders) counselor Lou Peralta will be on hand to guide you
through the various parts and options of Medicare; what it does
and does not cover, costs, enrollment periods, prescription
coverage, etc.
“Estate Planning for Consumers” is scheduled at
10 am. Kathleen Nealon, Elder Law Attorney, Nealon and Nealon
will show you how to designate trusted individuals to make
financial and healthcare decisions for you if need be. Kathleen
is no stranger to the senior center; she has been here many
times to guide the seniors how to plan and maintain control of
their future.
Both Lou and Kathleen are an important part of the senior
center; they both have done so much to help so many seniors and
believe me, they are very much appreciated!
Besides these two seminars, there will also be representatives
available for the following services:
S.H.I.N.E Counseling Sign up for an appointment with Lou—after his seminar, he’ll be
available to help you individually to discuss the best Medicare
plans for you.
Veterans Agent Veterans Agent John Givner will be on hand to assist with any
benefits that might be available to you.
Assessor’s Office Liz Sher, the Administrative Assistant will let you know about
the tax rebate programs that are available to assist qualified
senior homeowners.
Fuel Assistance and SNAP Food Program Mary McLeod and Marlene Troupes, Senior Center Outreach Workers
will explain these two programs and will help qualified seniors
with the application process.
Computer Assistance Many of our seniors are interested in learning how to use a
computer, especially in this age of “emails” and “Facebook”
users. The Computer Room Volunteers will be on hand will help
you with any computer need including the Medicare website.
These are all things you really need to know before you retire,
so I recommend you take the few hours on Saturday, October 20
and attend these seminars. You’ll leave the senior center with
all kinds of information that will help you with this next
chapter of your life.
That’s it for now, so if you have any comments or suggestions,
you can email me: Punkala@aol.com. Until next time, have a great
week!
