Resident Petitions Against
Frankland Road Name-Change January 9, 2013 — Above, in December Frankland Road resident Carolyn Schmidt gathered signatures for support to keep Frankland Road named as it is. It appears on plans that the road will be discontinued where it meets Peach Street, and part of the road will be renamed with "Legacy Farms" in the name. Legacy Farms North is the part of the purchase of former nursery property on the northern side of Frankland Road. Mrs. Schmidt and another family member signed a letter to the Selectmen respectfully asking them to keep the name. In the letter, they state that the road was named Frankland Street in 1851, and they would like the entire length of the roadway to continue with one variation of the name. The claim it is on the Town Seal and is part of the Bay Path and Old Connecticut Path. It appears the Selectmen have not taken action on it. Above, Bob Chesmore accommodates Mrs. Schmidt with his signature. |

Interim Superintendent, Dr.
Steven Hiersche, Runs the Gauntlet for Permanent
Position
 January 9, 2013 — Dr. Steven Hiersche, on the job for five months as Interim Superintendent following the resignation of the previous Super, made it clear this evening that he would like to stay on. He was the second person of four to be interviewed by the Hopkinton School Committee for the position of Hopkinton Superintendent of Schools. "This is something I'd like to continue," he said when asked by School Committee member Jon Graziano why he decided to apply. "I'd like to be a part of the transition the community is going through. "I believe my skill-set is a good match. And I'd like to be a part of an organization that is growing as well," he said.
From the School Department: Dr. Steven Hiersche holds a Doctorate in Educational Leadership from the University of Sarasota. He also holds a Master of Education in Secondary Administration from Westfield State College, and a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics, also from Westfield State. He is currently the Interim Superintendent for Hopkinton Public Schools. He previously served as Superintendent for Framingham, Watertown, and Plymouth Public Schools, as well as the Orleans Southwest Supervisory Union, a six-community regional district in Vermont. He began his career as a mathematics teacher at the John F. Kennedy Jr. High School in Enfield, CT. Saying that he sees few people left who were originally involved with devising the current strategic plan, he said it needed to be looked at anew. He called the school district an organization that is vibrant and growing. Dr. Hiersche identified Center School as a complicated challenge, and said he has always loved complicated challenges. He said the finances held challenges, too. He said that he would like to implement a zero-based budget every three years, so that the stakeholders would start from scratch and add only what they need. Dr. Hiersche said that he found the prospect of developing a multi-year budget "exciting." Dr. Hiersche said that teachers will become more like facilitators in the future, and that the there are opportunities for educators in Hopkinton to exchange ideas with people all over the world as part of Global Education he has been a part of. He said he would like to get Engineering firmly implemented, and that there are businesspeople in the community who were capable of matching students with internships locally. "People who work in our community live in our community," he said, contrasting Hopkinton with Framingham, where the inverse is true. Throughout the evening, Dr. Hiersche emphasized the importance of teachers, and that those with the right skills should be nurtured and supported, and brought into leadership roles. During the open dialogue with residents in attendance following he School Committee session, Frank Sivo, parent and former School Committee candidate, asked Dr. Hiersche why MCAS scores had declined in the Framingham schools during the three years he was there as superintendent. Dr. Hiersche cited significant financial problems in Framingham and stated that the budget had gone from a 6% decline when he got there to a 5% increase. He also explained that MCAS scores lag 3-5 years in the process, inferring that the scores during his time there reflected teaching that happened prior to his arrival. The next candidate to be interviewed is Dr. Andrew Keough on Monday, January 14, 2013 ty 7:00 pm. |

One More Pint of Blood, One More Day by Jackie Potenzone January 8, 2013
Time is something that is cherished
by families of loved ones suffering from an illness. I
noticed every time I went to visit her a bag of blood
being given to her. I did not understand at the time why
she always needed blood. I asked the nurse one day why
she always needed blood transfusions. The nurse
explained to me that her body no longer made blood cells
as a result of her cancer; she needed transfusions to
stay alive. I am sure there is a medical name for this
condition but I don't know what it is. I sat by her
bedside and thought to myself thank you for the person
who donated the pint of blood that was being given to my
sister, so we could have one more day together. This was
a common occurrence during the summer of 2005. The
summer time is when blood donations are at there lowest.
Mary passed away August 26,2005 just 11 days after her
51st birthday. HopNews File photo |

First Candidate for
Hopkinton Superintendent of Schools at
Interview/Forum January 8, 2013 —
On Monday evening, Ms. Cathy MacLeod Monday
became the first of an expected four candidates
for the position of Hopkinton Superintendent of
Schools to be interviewed by the School
Committee, and then the public afterward. From
the School Department:
Ms. Cathy MacLeod is currently a Doctoral candidate at the School of Education at Boston University. She also holds a Master of Education in Educational Administration from the College of New Jersey and a Master of Arts in Applied Child Psychology from the University of Guelph (Ontario), as well as a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education from Brock University (Ontario). She is currently the Assistant Superintendent for Easton Public Schools.
Ms. MacLeod said, "I feel I have a lot to offer. I am not looking to do a short-term stint anywhere." She said that the superintendent's position she is competing for is the "culmination of my career." Ms. MacLeod gave the Hopkinton School district high grades this evening, but cautioned that things must always be in review. "What you're doing here really works. But you need to step back sometimes and see if what you are doing is still necessary," she said. When asked by Muriel Kramer, in attendance as a parent, if she spotted any chinks in Hopkinton's armor, Ms. MacLeod said Hopkinton could do a "...better job at prevention. There are too many kids at lower grades who need improvement. I could help you [Hopkinton] with that." Selectman Brian Herr asked Ms. MacLeod to describe what her desk at Easton, where she serves as the Assistant Superintendent, looks like. He nodded with approval as she described a sparsely adorned desk. School Committee members had questions about what her approach would be to working as the head of the schools, her vision for strategic planning and her experience with municipal budgets. A theme woven through most of her answers was one of collaboration and listening. "I won't let you down," Ms. MacLeod said toward the end of the interview. Dr. Steven Hiersche, Hopkinton's current, interim Superintendent, will be interviewed tonight at 7:00 pm at the High School, Room A-219 |

Selectmen to Consider Wine &
Malt Liquor License for Water Fresh Farm Marketplace
 January 6, 2013 —Water Fresh Farm, which operates at 151 Hayden Rowe Street selling produce as well as other fresh vegetables and herbs grown hydroponically on premises, wants to add a license for wine and malt liquor to its offerings. Currently, customers can purchase fresh meat, fish and deli products to go, or sandwiches, salads and meals prepared on the spot or from their cold case to go or to eat in. Customers can wash that all down with an eclectic variety of beverages from the cold case, or fresh brewed coffee from their cafe. According to an email exchange with owner Jeff Barton this afternoon, the license will allow them to sell wine and malt liquor to go, but not to be consumed on the premises. As of November, 2011, there were two available Wine and Malt serving licenses available. and five available Wine and Malt Package Store licenses available. Since then, a Marlborough company operating out of the former Marlborough Fire Station, The Vin Bin, has applied for and received one of the package store licenses, leaving four more in that category. The Vin Bin will open at 22 South Street. The Selectmen have solicited and received comments from town departments referred to as member of the Permitting Team. Director of land Use and Planning Elaine Lazarus and Zoning Enforcement Officer Charles Kadlik want a review of the addition of this use to an agricultural business in a residentially zoned area. Fire Chief Ken Clark approves and endorses the license request, and Police Chief Rick Flannery approves it if it is for consumption off premises. The Selectmen have scheduled a public hearing on the matter for 7:00 pm on Tuesday, January 8, 2013. Following that hearing, the Board will approve a Bond Anticipation Note for over $2 million to pay for Articles voted on at Town Meetings in 2012. |

6,000 Pounds of Cement Statue installation targeted for April 8, 2013  January 4, 2013 — Workers backfill a three-ton, four-foot deep base laid today in front of Center School that will hold a statue dedicated to Rick and Dick Hoyt. John Hancock is footing the bill for the monument to the father and son Team Hoyt. The sculpture is expected to be in place by April 8, 2013, according to Melissa Simon Berczuk, a public relations specialist with John Hancock. "Dick Hoyt has pushed or pulled his son Rick through the finish lines of thirty Boston Marathons and more than 1,000 athletic events. Along the way, they have spread their unique message of determinism. As principal sponsor of the marathon, we wanted to pay tribute to the Hoyts and we think the sculpture will honor them and demonstrate their message to future generations of residents and visitors to Hopkinton," she said in an email today. Below is a graphical representation by GRLA of the statue that was submitted to the Hopkinton Historic District Commission for their approval last year. As the actual base being buried today reveals, the pair will be facing the Hopkinton Common, cast in bronze forever.  |
