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

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.

Mr. Tomas said they are practicing I Liq Chuan, an internal discipline that combines healing and martial arts. "It is more meditative than martial in practice," he said. He said it is practiced by people in China surrounded by trees, a reason he gave for practicing at Hopkinton Common. |

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!
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,

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.
