Senator Spilka honored by
Framingham State University as Citizen Laureate
Accepting the award, she
remarked on the importance of the University in her
career. “In my many years as a MetroWest resident and
legislator, I have had a long and extremely rewarding
relationship with Framingham State University – we are
truly partners in advancing higher education,” Spilka
said. “FSU is a prime example of what makes my work as a
public servant worthwhile: the opportunity to invest
resources, creativity and new ideas into an institution
that prepares the next generation for the challenges you
will face in the 21st century.” Later in the day Spilka
addressed the thousands of students, faculty, families
and friends gathered for Framingham State’s 174th
undergraduate commencement ceremony to offer the formal
Greetings Commonwealth of Massachusetts and introduce U.
S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, the commencement speaker. Spilka said of Warren:
“Elizabeth Warren’s hope is our hope – America’s hope –
that we remain the land of unequaled opportunity, - that
each of you will able to use your unique talents in the
service of our country and our economy without being
crippled by student debt and an increasingly unfair
playing field - and that we will build a better tomorrow
for ourselves and our children” Senator Spilka represents the
Second Middlesex and Norfolk district, comprised of the
towns of Ashland, Framingham, Franklin, Holliston,
Hopkinton, Medway and Natick. Through hard work, a
keen ability to navigate complex issues, and a
demonstrated commitment to advocating for her
constituents, Spilka has risen to a leadership position
in the Massachusetts legislature. She currently
serves as Majority Whip in the Senate and as chair of
the Tech Hub and Biotech Caucuses. She previously
served as Senate chair of the Job Creation Commission,
the Committee on Economic Development and Emerging
Technologies and the Committee on Children, Families and
Persons with Disabilities. About Framingham State

BACKGROUND For the last 20 years the TEAM
HOYT ANNUAL 5K has been run in Waltham, Massachusetts.
With course logistics a challenge and its popularity on
the increase Rick and Dick Hoyt considered a new
location for the 2013 edition. Representatives, of Hopkinton
based 26.2 Foundation, suggested this site. Hopkinton,
with its rich and historic ties to road racing and the
hospitality of Weston Nurseries and Legacy Farms, offers
an ideal venue for race activities. 2013 GOAL For 2013 the 21st
Hoyt 5K objective is to present a fun, safe, relaxed
event, which is a notch above the Waltham experience,
with an eye to the future. While the 2013 5K is expected
to reach, and most likely exceed, its 350 runner limit,
talk about future expansion has already begun. The 2013 supporters will have
an opportunity to participate in this expansion,
increased pre-race promotion, post-race recognition, as
well as enhanced on-sight visibility. 2013 OPPORTUNITIES Potential supporters should
contact Tim Kilduff at 508.509.3484 or
tkilduff@att.net
to review identification and marketing opportunities. Through Tim, photo
opportunities with Rick and Dick Hoyt may be arranged. DONATIONS ARE WELCOME While the 5K is fortunate to
have many in-kind contributions that help to defer
costs, there are several hefty out of pocket costs.
Those expenses include: Every retained dollar will be
distributed thru the Hoyt Foundation to a number of
organizations including the Easter Seals of
Massachusetts. Financial contributions may be
made directly to the Hoyt Foundation Inc., a
designated 501 C3 organization.

Process Begun May 21, 2013 — Chief of Police Rick Flannery, left, presented Detective Timothy Brennan to the Board of Selectmen this evening to gather up their kudos for a job well done. According to the Town Manager's agenda, Det. Brennan, along with 5 other local, State and Federal investigators received an Investigative Award from Irish American Police Officers Association for their investigation into home invasions in Hopkinton and Franklin, as well as many other burglaries in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Conspicuous by his absence, Patrolman Patrick O'Brien was honored for his thirty years of service, which falls on May 31, 2013.

Selectmen Seek Foxwoods Disqualification from Milford Casino App
Mr. Palleiko also took umbrage with a perceived threat by Chairman Stephen Crosby that communities that "play hardball" could lose their due mitigation.
The letter may have been composed prior to today's announcement by casino developer David Nunes that he was again in charge of the process, rather than Foxwoods, which he said earlier this year had forced him out after their late entry into his application process.
The letter to the Gaming Commission is below:
Selectmen from Hopkinton, Holliston, Medway, Ashland and possibly other communities are expected to attend a meeting at Holliston Town Hall tomorrow evening at 6:00 pm to hammer out an agreement to work jointly to protect the interests in the surrounding communities regarding the siting of a casino in Milford.
Town of Hopkinton
18 Main Street Hopkinton, MA 01748 May 21, 2013
Massachusetts Gaming Commission 84 State Street, Suite 720 Boston,
Dear Chairman Crosby:
•
Revenue from Foxwoods continues to decline at an
alarming rate -12% over the past year alone,
Though not mentioned in the article,
we note with alarm further information coming to light
on the individuals associated with Foxwoods. The current
Chief of Staff -who was placed in this position in
January of this year -has a lengthy criminal record,
including a felony conviction for a violent crime in
which he randomly stabbed and paralyzed a young man, The
current treasurer is under federal indictment for
embezzlement along with another individual associated
with the organization, The notion that an organization
with such associated individuals could be considered in
any manner strikes us as stunning.
You recently made comments that could be perceived as threatening communities that "play hardball" with a loss of all potential mitigation due to them as part of this process. Yet, your Commission's seeming inability to make the critical decision that some applicants simply are not worthy of consideration forces potentially impacted communities to take whatever means necessary to protect themselves. A decision to move the Foxwoods proposal forward will fly in the face of every assertion made by the MGC regarding tile level of scrutiny and high expectations involved in this process.
We urge the Commission to take the obviously necessary course and immediately disqualify the Foxwoods application.
Sincerely, Benjamin L. Palleiko, Chairman, Board of Selectmen |

275 Children Enjoy an Afternoon of Trucks and
More at Hopkinton Public Library Foundation’s Second
Annual Touch-A-Truck
May 21, 2013 — At Hopkinton
Public Library Foundation’s (HPLF) Second Annual
Touch-A-Truck, 275 children
enjoyed an afternoon of
trucks, construction vehicles and machines, police
and fire vehicles, military and antique trucks.
The event, held on Sunday, May 19, 2013,
in the parking lot of Colella’s Supermarket, raised over
$3000 for the renovation and expansion of Hopkinton
Public Library. In addition to the 35 trucks
to see and touch, children enjoyed a train ride, shaved
ice, and free
samples from Maple Farm Dairy. There was also a
chance to win a Power Wheels Jeep Hurricane. The
vehicle was won by a 10-month-old, Connor Bacchiochi!
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:
American Climbers, Capobianco Trucking, Greenway
Landscaping, Mike Hayward, Holliston Oil Service,
Hopkinton Fire Department, Hopkinton Department of
Water, Hopkinton Highway Department, Hopkinton Police
Department, McIntyre Loam, Inc., Metal Mirror Detailing,
Norton & Haines Transportation Co. Inc., Scott Septic,
Inc., Scott's Landscaping, Inc., and Weston Nurseries.
HPLF
wishes to thank Colella’s Supermarket for hosting the
event. Roaming Railroad from Suffield, Connecticut, and
Kona Shaved Ice from Cumberland, Rhode Island, will
donate a portion of their proceeds from the day; Karen
McDermott donated the Power Wheels Jeep Hurricane that
was the envy of all children; and Maple Farms Dairy
offered samples of chocolate milk and lemonade.
HPLF
thanks all the families who attended Touch-A-Truck and
the volunteers who planned and ran the event.
Touch-A-Truck is one of three annual HPLF events, along
with the Mother-Daughter Princess Tea in January and
Pink Pint Night in May. All proceeds from HPLF
events 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 2015, as
Hopkinton recently moved up to #4 on the MBLC waiting
list to receive library construction funds. For more

SEE ENTIRE ELECTION RESULTS HERE LANDSLIDE! School Committee: Ellen Scordino 874, Amy Ritterbusch 472  Above, School Committee winner Ellen Scordino gets a congratulatory hug from Planning Board Vice-ChairJohn Coutinho. May 20, 2013 — In the only contested race on the ballot today, and in a poorly attended election, Ellen Scordino, a political newcomer who moved to Hopkinton just three years ago, got the attention of some of Hopkinton's top politicians and rode the wave of public discontent over School Committee actions to victory tonight over opponent Amy Ritterbusch, who voters associated more with the School Committee status quo. "I'm excited; I feel like I had a lot of support today. I'm very pleased," said Ms. Scordino in answer to a reporter's question. "I can't wait to get started. There's a working meeting this Thursday. "Right now I think it's important for me to make some overtures [to sitting School Committee members]— and I met with them while I was running — but I think some of them may have expected a different result. I have to work to get their trust and support initially, and I think that will be a good first step for me," she said. When asked her plans, Ms. Scordino noted that the Strategic Plan was from 2009 and needs updating. "I think it was the diversity of my support," she answered when asked what things she could attribute to her win. "I was not being supported by any particular age group or any particular camp... I was open to meeting with everyone." She said there were many people she had not known before who stepped forward with an interest in meeting the next candidate. There is a school Committee working session Thursday, May 23, 7:30am – 9:30am at 89 Hayden Rowe Street. |
