Accident at East Main and Cross Streets
While police awaited the ambulance, they let one lane pass, and a tractor trailer ripped another line down, causing the pole to fall even farther, and sending people at the scene scurrying for cover. Some westbound traffic diverted themselves through the Woodland Road residential neighborhood, and as a result, a tractor trailer clipped a low-hanging wore on that road, tearing it down. Crews are still working at the scene (1:50 pm) at this time. Facebook and Twitter followers got the alerts immediately. |

 May 27, 2013 — Marathon Restaurant at North Pond has now transformed itself into Marathon Burgers and Barbeque, offering the same fine quality, freshness and great service, but "This is more fun!" says owner Michael Tobins. Mr. Tobins said that the restaurant always had some great barbeque items, like pulled pork and ribs, but The Beast gives them greater capacity. "We can do off-site corporate events for hundreds of guests," he said. And speaking of fun, they have added video games in the lounge area, a jukebox — and trivia on Wednesday evenings. They also have sports memorabilia signed by Robert Parrish and Pedro Martinez; and 58 types of bottled beer. When asked just how far they would go to ramp up the fun, Mr. Tobins said there'd be NO talking moose..

Out To Dry May 27, 2013 — The cormorant, a diving bird on Pout Rock on Lake Maspenock this morning, appears to have a broken wing, but it does not.

When it does fliy with wet wings, it can be seen running across the top of the water, using is as a runway to gain speed for altitude. |

Hopkinton Native: 2013 Worst Town Meeting Ever Editor: I have been attending Town Meetings
for about 40 years and this year's Town Meeting was a
big disappointment from beginning to end. When it was announced that one
budget (both school and the rest of the town) was being
proposed to make the meeting more expedient it became
obvious it
For example, several years ago it was voted that Town Meeting would end at 11:00 pm and resume the next day.
This year, on the second night with 10 plus articles still left to go, a vote was taken to continue because the Moderator was concerned it would be difficult to get a quorum the next day. But when the "no" voters left the hall and we no longer had a quorum, the Moderator concluded that a quorum was not necessary since there were no money articles left. (Photo for illustration only).
If that is true, then why did we vote several years ago to increase the quorum from 50 voters to 100 voters if we don't even need a quorum to vote? But after voting on several articles we came back to the Article that appropriated $130,000 to pave behind Town Hall. So if the Moderator did acknowledge there was no quorum, but it didn't matter because we aren't voting on money articles then what happens to the money we appropriated without a quorum?
Is it a valid vote? And since when do you not need a quorum for non-money articles?
As always, these controversial articles are strategically placed at the end of Town Meeting when they can be rammed through because of the late hour and debate is curtailed because everyone wants to go home. Who wants to debate hot top at 12:20 am? That is when Town Meeting ended.
And as far as debate goes, some times people were allowed to speak several times on an issue and then other times debate was ended. Sometimes, when a question is moved we continue debate and other times when a question is moved debate ends. There was no consistency to the rules.
For me it was a very disappointing Town Meeting. Let's get the rules straight and stick to them.
I see we are ready for a vote.

Hopkinton Resident, Kevin Hrusovsky, to leave PerkinElmer
Mr. Hrusovsky filed the appropriate papers and informed his company of his decision earlier in the month, and sent a letter, below, to colleagues and friends. In November, 2011, Mr. Hrusovsky was the president and CEO of Caliper Life Sciences when PerkinElmer, a much larger company, acquired them. Mr. Hrusovsky stayed with the new company, earing the title od Senior Vice-President and President of Life Sciences. The company negotiated an agreement for a TIF with the Town of Hopkinton that involves a robust expansion, and the addition of 300 professional jobs to the town in exchange for tax beaks. During his recent career with Caliper Life Sciences, Mr. Hrusovsky, a scientist at heart, used his business acumen to help acquire many other companies to add to Caliper's portfolio and product line. In addition to his education in business and science, Mr. Hrusovsky has enjoyed his yearly seminars dressing up up in a role (above, left) as a metaphor to express his passion and dedication to the presentation of the latest science to the gathered scientists and doctors assembled to hear him and others speak about the vision of eradicating cancer and heart disease in this decade. Enjoy a reprise of HopNews video with Mr. Hrusovsky here. His letter is below:
Hi Friends, I hope you are doing well.
We just learned that due to an email glitch, many of you
did not receive this letter last week. Sorry if
you are receiving this for the second time. After 17 years with Zymark
(7 yrs), Caliper: CALP (8.5 yrs) and PerkinElmer: PKI
(1.5 yrs), I’ve decided this is the right moment to
depart and begin the next chapter of my career.
Late last Friday, following the close of the markets, an
8k Form public filing was issued communicating my
decision. I’ve agreed to advise PKI on a part-time
basis for a year primarily in the area of strategy,
corporate portfolio and development and to help ensure a
smooth transition to Jim Corbett (my successor leading
LST) and Rob Friel (CEO). They are impressive
individuals with relevant experience to continue the
journey to revolutionize medicine and inspire some of
the most talented minds and people in all of life
sciences. It has been an honor to work with this
talented team of people. As many of you know, this
has been a very tough decision to make given the many
friends, colleagues and soul mates that I have been
blessed to be associated with throughout this industry
for over the past 25 years. This is not a good
bye, but simply a transition to the next chapter.
Nancy and I have been extremely fortunate to have had
your friendship and collaboration over all these years
and I cannot thank you enough from the bottom of my
heart for your belief, support and many contributions
over this period. We have built and collaborated
in so many different areas of science, and for this, I
am confident that the world is a better place. I
have personally never been more inspired than I am right
now regarding the progress being made in our quest for
global health and the eradication of cancer and many of
the hideous diseases that take life prematurely and
create unnecessary pain and suffering. I very much look
forward to our future collaboration whether it be with
today’s or tomorrow’s science and technologies to
improve health and wellness. On a personal note, in addition to advising PKI, I recently joined 908 Devices Board of Directors (incredible disruptive innovation company innovating a game changing hand held mass spectrometer) and have been asked to consider joining several other bod’s that are linked to the vision and strategy of revolutionizing personalized health through 1. early detection / diagnosis (dna, rna, protein), 2. next generation treatments (therapies, surgeries and med devices) and 3. the newest and
most exciting area, disease prevention and wellness (i.e,
personalizing lifestyle choices, diet – eliminating
sugar, managing epigenetics and environmental factors,
etc). I also hope to make investments into
some of these game changing technologies, leaders and
people. As we have always said, it is all about
the people and it is vital that we keep people /
patients first as we search for ways to accelerate and
inspire advances in medicine and health. I am
always open to your ideas and inspirations in these
rapidly progressing fields and fully intend to keep the
dream alive for achieving global personalized health. Please find below my
current and future contact information and please feel
free to drop me a line or stop in and see me. I
intend to be on site in our Hopkinton Personalized
Health Innovations Center until May 31. Thank you for all you have
done and for being part of some of the best times of my
life. All the best, Kevin |
