Kudos to Hopkinton Police

On May 23, 2013, Hopkinton Police Officer Aaron O’Neil and Hopkinton Police Dispatcher Evan Brooks both participated in the 2013 Hoyt 5K Road Race held in Hopkinton. Shortly after the race started, a runner was injured on the course directly in-front of Officer O’Neil and Dispatcher Brooks. Both O’Neil and Brooks are trained EMT’s and rendered assistance to the injured runner until the arrival of paramedics. Once patient care was turned over to paramedics, both O’Neil and Brooks continued running in the event.
 
Dispatcher Brooks was awarded a first place trophy in the male Law Enforcement category. Officer O’Neil also finished with a respectable time. Both O’Neil and Brooks look forward to next year’s event.

“This show brings back fond memories of when ESL was just starting out, and the big dreams we had back then for a community arts center,” said Grill, now executive director of the HCA.  “The fact that the HCA now has enough talented directors and teachers to cast a big show like this is truly amazing.  I hope the audience enjoys  this production as much as the audience 30 years ago did.”     

 

Enter Stage Left Theater is a non-profit full service community performing arts organization dedicated to promoting quality theater programs for all ages.  It is part of the Hopkinton Center for the Arts, whose mission is to provide an environment that will allow for a collaboration of individuals and organizations to create and present quality visual and performing arts, arts education and events.

State Police Car Stop in Paxton Leads to Arrest, and Seizure of $12.5K Cash

Massachusetts State Police charged a man with Operating a Motor Vehicle after License Suspension and seized $12,560 cash after stopping a vehicle which had not been inspected.  Troopers charged MICHAEL J. PENNY, 27, of Auburn with Operating a Motor Vehicle after License Suspension, Subsequent Offense.


At 1:28 a.m. today, Trooper Sergio Figueiredo, who assigned to the State Police Barracks in Brookfield, observed a dark colored Ford Econoline van traveling northbound on Route 122 in the Town of Paxton.  After a check of the registration, it was revealed that the vehicle had not been properly inspected.


Trooper Figueiredo stopped the vehicle on Route 122 in Paxton.   As Trooper Figueiredo approached the vehicle, he observed PENNY completely bend down, out of view, multiple times and reach down and around himself as if he were hiding or retrieving something.  As Trooper Figueiredo spoke to PENNY, he could detect a strong odor of fresh marijuana emanating from within the vehicle.  PENNY could not provide a driver’s license and stated that his right to operate in Massachusetts was suspended.


PENNY provided a Massachusetts ID card which was located with a wad of $20 bills wrapped in a bundle.  Trooper Figueiredo knew through his training and experience that money used in the sale of narcotics is often packaged in this manner to easily keep count.   Paxton Police Officer Coggans assisted Trooper Figueiredo searching the vehicle before towing it, per department policy for inventory.  While conducting the inventory of the vehicle, a scale was located along with multiple empty cellophane wrappers.  There was also a amount of green leafy vegetable matter, believed to be marijuana, spread throughout the front seat area.  A clear plastic shopping bag was located, hidden underneath the bed in the rear of the van, with a large amount of currency in it.  The money was packaged in the same manner as the wad of cash found on PENNY’s person.  The packaging was again, consistent with the sale of narcotics.  PENNY did not want to speak about where he obtained the money, other than to say that it was his. 


The vehicle was towed back to the Brookfield Barracks.  At the barracks, there was a glass jar that smelled of marijuana with a debit card issued to PENNY. 

While at the barracks, Massachusetts State Police Trooper Johnson along with his K9, Alex, searched the vehicle.  The narcotics detection K9 alerted to the rear compartment of the van and the air ventilation.  A further search revealed only packaging equipment and a scale.


K9 Alex and Trooper Johnson then entered the barracks.  K9 Alex found and alerted to the monies, indicating narcotics residue on the cash.  The currency was then counted which revealed a total amount of $12,560.00, which was inconsistent with the amount PENNY had indicated he had.


State Police determined that probable cause existed to suspect the money was being used for, or was the proceeds from, drug distribution.  The money was seized as such.


PENNY was mirandized and booked at the Brookfield Barracks.  PENNY’s bail was set at $5000 by a bail clerk.  PENNY will be arraigned in East Brookfield District Court today.

      Intelligence Leak - Right or Wrong?

      Twenty-nine year-old Ed Snowden, an analyst working for NSA contractor Booz Allen Hamilton and a former CIA employee identified himself as the source of the story that blew the lid off of the government’s Top Secret surveillance program to compile data on all telephone and internet records. The purpose, some say, is to find terrorists and their associates.

     “I had the authority to wiretap anyone,” he said in an interview with The Guardian in Hong Kong.

    “This is not our [NSA workers] place to decide. The public needs to decide whether these policies are right or wrong. And I am willing to go on record to defend the authenticity of [his claims].

     “You can’t come forward against the world's most powerful intelligence agency and be completely free from risk, because they are such powerful adversaries," he said, adding that he is looking for asylum from a foreign country.

      Government representatives have said that the disclosure of the secret program makes it more difficult for it to be effective. Some say it has already thwarted some terrorist attacks.

       Was he right to do what he did?

      DISCUSS IT HERE 

POLL RESULTS

        Readers were given the information on the left before being asked to participate in the poll, the results of which are below.
       Most readers, but not a majority, believe Edward Snowden, the man who leaked information about the government's top secret data gathering programs, is a traitor.
       Nearly 30% believe he is a hero, and just a little more than that have not formed an opinion.
        In the meantime, the government has announced it is preparing charges against the young man.
         The question not asked or answered by the poll was whether or not the readers approved of the practice of gathering the information in question.
          In  addition, the poll did not have the usual level of participation, making the sample so small that it may not line up with national opinion like most HopNews polls usually do.

Scaled Down Version of Dunkin' Donuts

June 10, 2013 — Proponents of building a Dunkin' Donuts at 78 West Main Street to replace the one at the Mobil gas station at 92 West Main Street are returning for a continued Public Hearing to the Planning Board this evening with a version that has been scaled down considerably from the original robust proposal for the one-acre lot, from two stories to one.

        The Board will also conduct a continued Public Hearing for Capital Properties, which is proposing a  sub-division of 14 townhome units on less than 3 acres of land at 149 Hayden Rowe Street, the former Stevens property.

         The proponents of Rockwood Meadows, a 62 unit senior housing development approved in 2007, will be on hand this evening to show their plans for a relocated clubhouse at the former Amato Farm farm stand, which the board said, in response to queries, that it would not oppose.

UPDATE: The Prudential Tunnel eastbound and westbound are now open.  The Clarendon St.  Ramp is still closed at this time.    Traffic remains backed up on Storrow Drive

June 9, 2013 - 9:46 am: UPDATED MASSACHUSETTS STATE POLICE ADVISORY 060913: Massachusetts Turnpike Closure at Prudential Tunnel Likely to Impact Traffic

 

The Prudential Tunnel and all associated ramps are in the process of being closed by the Massachusetts State Police and Massachusetts Department of Transportation.  Eastbound traffic will be detoured to Storrow Drive at Exit 18.  Westbound traffic will be detoured to I-93 via the Ted Williams Tunnel.

 

Travelers are advised to avoid the area completely, as delays are anticipated at the detour locations.  Motorists are encouraged to Rt.2, Rt.9, Storrow Drive, Soldier's Field Road and Rt.128 to I-93, accessing them as far from the detour points as possible to help minimize traffic delays in those areas.

 

This lighting and ventilation issue is the result of the overnight power outage in the Fenway section of Boston.  In addition to the Massachusetts Turnpike and various local roadways, three additional State roadways have also been impacted.  These are Charlesgate East and West and the Bowker overpass at Boylston Street.  Temporary traffic control measures are in place at these locations.  The Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation is also assisting with traffic control in the Charlesgate area.

 

NSTAR is working on the issue and a generator is enroute.  There remains no anticipated time for the reopening of the Prudential Tunnel or the arrival and connection of the generator. 

 

MASSACHUSETTS STATE POLICE ADVISORY 060913:

 Massachusetts Turnpike Closure at Prudential Tunnel Likely to Impact Traffic

For motorist safety, the Massachusetts Turnpike will be closed shortly at the entrance of the Prudential Tunnel in Boston due to an area power outage affecting lighting and ventilation in the tunnel.  This will impact both eastbound and westbound traffic, as the tunnel will be completely closed.  The duration of the closure is unknown at this time.  The Massachusetts Department of Transportation and Massachusetts State Police will provide additional details as they become available, but for now, please advise your viewers/listeners/readers to seek alternate routes.

MetroWest YMCA Receives $25,000 from Hopkinton Country Club

Above, from left, Dorothy Maruska, Hopkinton Country Club Charitable Foundation, Rick MacPherson, President and CEO of MetroWest YMCA, John Barclay, Hopkinton YMCA Branch Executive Director, Nila Gray, Vice President of Hopkinton Country Club Foundation, and foundation members Terry Richardson, Bill Abernethy and Richard Straight.

 

June, 8, 2013 — This afternoon members of the Hopkinton Country Club Charitable Foundation presented a representative check for $25,000 to the MetroWest YMCA in Hopkinton at an event at the Hayes Lodge, surrounded by the facility's hundreds of acres.

       As a result of this grant, the Y was able to serve eleven children from nine families in grades one through seven.

      Through the Hopkinton Country Club's Charitable Foundation these children have developed positive relationships with the YMCA staff and other children in the YMCA’s program. Daily activities included homework time, arts and crafts, experiments, cooking projects, snack, physical activities and outside play, along with quiet time where the kids can read, play, or keep themselves occupied with independent projects.

       One of the highlights of this year was when a parent approached the Executive Director of the YMCA about one of the staff members. She explained her child’s reading scores had improved and that she had checked with the school to see if they had done anything differently and was told no. The improvement came because of the effort and individual attention the YMCA staff member gave to her child during their time at the School’s Out Program!

      In addition to aiding families through the Metrowest YMCA the Foundation also donated $10,000 to the Hopkinton Food Pantry, $10,000 to Project Just Because Christmas, $10,000 for high school scholarships an $5,000 for the "Read to Me, Mommy" program at MCI Framingham.

       Hopkinton Country Club Charitable Foundation has an annual golf event and fundraising gala to raise money to fund these worthwhile projects. Last year approximately $100,000 was raised through a golf tournament, live and silent auction. This year the golf tournament and gala will be on Saturday, October 12, at the Hopkinton Country Club.  All are welcome to attend and donations of money or auction items are always needed.  .  For further information or to donate please contact Terry Richardson, President, Hopkinton Country Club Charitable Foundation, trichardson14@gmail.com Contributed content.

Class of 2013 Graduates

June 8, 2013 — The Class of 2013 graduation marked not only the end of high school for the students who received their diplomas Friday evening, but also the last Hopkinton graduation for Superintendent of Schools Dr. Steven Hiersche, and also of Evan Bishop as Principal, who has taken over the high school's top position awaiting the hiring of the next principal, Michael Cournoyer, who will begin at the end of the month. Dr. Hiersche, who filled as interim, will move on and be replaced by Ms. Cathy MacLeod at the end of the month.

       Some of the most memorable events were a musical selection written and performed by members of the class, the unscheduled address by a young graduate undergoing treatment for Hodgkins, and an entreaty by Valedictorian Tyler Mikulis, who offered the perspective of the Tralfamadorians, aliens in the Kurt Vonnegut novel Slaughterhouse Five who see events as happening at the same time, instead of chronologically.
