Legacy Farms Seeks to Swap Planned
Commercial 200,000 sq. ft. for 280 Active Adult Homes Will retain plan for 250,000 sq. ft. 
February 24, 2014 — In order to move away from a lackadaisical commercial market and embrace a growing interest in active senior 55+ communities, Legacy Farms developer Roy S. MacDowell, Jr. would like to alter part of his Open Space Mixed Use Development called Legacy Park, that is zoned for 200,000 sq. ft. of commercial development, and instead, on the same parcel, rezone for 280 homes for "active adults." Mouse-over the image on left to see the difference. The 200,000 square feet of commercial construction was planned for the northern end of the Legacy Farms parcel where Wilson Street and Rafferty Road meet. Instead, Mr. MacDowell would like to see that land used for a 280-home "active adult" community that would be made up of simplexes, duplexes and perhaps triplexes, with the land in all cases being owned in common by homeowner associations. When asked how this would succeed in Hopkinton in light of other 55+ endeavors in Hopkinton failing, Mr. MacDowell said that the size of the community would establish a "critical mass" to enable the building of a clubhouse, which would become a community within a community. He said he would like to see a tennis court and a pool as well as other amenities. It would be geared more toward the 62 year-old average age, whereas the Hawthorne community planned for East Main Street on Legacy Farms land would be occupied by an older set that might be seeing their driving years in the rear-view mirror. Mr. MacDowell said today that the switch would mean more net revenue for the Town of Hopkinton, $1.6 million, because the real estate would have more tax value. Another benefit would be fewer vehicular trips than expected with the larger commercial component. According to Mr. MacDowell, the zoning change will need the approval of Town Meeting and perhaps negotiations surrounding the Host Community Agreement that Legacy and the Town of Hopkinton agreed to. Mr. MacDowell said that if the zoning change is approved at this year's Town Meeting, he would like to begin work on the Legacy farms North Road this year, and open it to through traffic next year. If approved, the added homes will bring the total number of proposed homes from 940 to 1,220. Mr. MacDowell still plans a 250,000 sq. ft. commercial center on Route 135 called Village Center in the vicinity of Weston Nurseries. Legacy meets with the Planning Board this evening.

Harbinger of Spring? February 23, 2014 — Some people like to call the first robin they see a harbinger of Spring. But people with bird feeders know that some robins hang around all Winter. These boats, kayaks and canoes at Hopkinton State Park on Saturday, are a good indication as the snow has melted off of them in last week's warming trend. Their colors have been enhanced by an increase in color saturation to give them a snappy look as the Sun grew low in the sky. |

Police Arrest Suspect in Recent New Hampshire
Bank Robbery
Further information indicated ERIC LORD, 43, of Greenville, NH, was planning an additional robbery the night of February 22 in the Leominster/Fitchburg area.

He was taken into custody without incident with the additional assistance of the State Police K9 Section. LORD is currently being held without bail and will be arraigned Monday in Leominster District Court as a Fugitive from Justice. At this time, he faces no additional charges in Massachusetts; however, the facts and circumstances concerning his potential plans in the Leominster/Fitchburg area remain under investigation. ~ MSP Press Release |

Genius at Work February 22, 2014 — It appears that the Honda on Main Street is pulling up, through the parking space, but that is not true. The vehicle, which is more than halfway into the street, is unoccupied, and the driver is shopping at a store behind the photographer. He did come out to his vehicle, and when asked if it was his, he replied affirmatively, but insisted on knowing the identity of the photographer. It might be good to note that the front of the vehicle is also halfway past the front of the space, and into the non-space area, which was intended to provide an unoccupied roadway as an arc for buses and tractor trailers to turn into Walcott Street. "I was only going to be a minute," said the driver. The driver below caught the photographer's eye with her speed. And what modern woman doesn't need an extra large box of Puffs to help obstruct her view in apparently the only place in the vehicle an extra large box of those soft and lanolin-free facial tissues would fit.

Healthy Teen Relationships Are a
Matter of Safety By Peter J. Koutoujian
Teenagers today are no different from those of us who experienced both the elation and heart break of dating for the first time, one of the most devastating of human experiences for which we need to provide better training and support. Moreover, for young adults today there is a growing trend emerging that warrants the sad distinction of making February Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month. Here in Middlesex County, we don’t have to look far for examples to show the seriousness of this problem which exists across our state and country. Allison Myrick of Groton, and Lauren Astley of Wayland, were two energetic, young women whose lives were cut short by former boyfriends in harrowing examples of teen dating violence. Three to four women a day similarly die in such relationships in our country. New research released by the American Psychological Association in 2013 paints a stark picture with nearly 1-in-3 young people aged 14-20 reporting they had been involved in an abusive relationship. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), victims of teen dating violence are more likely to do poorly in school and engage in binge drinking, suicide attempts, and violent behavior. The CDC study also cites that physically abused teens are three times more likely than their non-abused peers to experience violence during their subsequent years. Ultimately, this creates a troubling cycle of abuse that can negatively impact a victim without intervention and can be carried on through generations. These statistics are stunning and should act as a call to action for us as a community to focus more attention on this issue not only as a public safety matter, but as a public health one as well. The best way to do that is to educate our teens on acceptable and effective relationship behaviors by serving as role models in our own lives, and by being determined to keep dialogue about effective relationships open with our children. It is just as important that we educate ourselves and our teens on the red flags that can indicate they or their friends are in unhealthy relationships. That is why an open line of communication about the responsibilities and some of the difficulties that come with dating at a young age is so important. Some of those indicators include: For potential victims: - Unexplained bruises or marks - Falling self-esteem - Increased isolation from friends and family - Change in appearance that has been dictated by a significant other - Technology being used as a way to monitor another’s activities - Signs of intense efforts to help fix the partner, to accept blame and to take too much responsibility for relationship problems. For potential perpetrators: - Low self esteem often covered with apparent charm or bravado - Constant thinking about and intense preoccupation with a partner - Outbursts of demanding behavior - Jealousy and concern about betrayal - Blame and criticism of others - Tendencies to criticize and control a partner’s behavior Dating can be an emotional rollercoaster no matter our age as we are all seeking dependable love, acceptance and companionship in our lives. We need to build the capacities in our youth to face the many normal rejections in life with resilience. I urge you to start a conversation with your teen – and have them check in with their friends -- about how to avoid what may cause them harm now and in the future. If you or they see any indicators of dating violence, please consult a professional at REACH Beyond Domestic Violence (www.reachma.org,) RESPOND, Inc. (www.respondinc.org) or one of the state’s other groups dedicated to helping victims of domestic violence. - Contributed by Peter J.
