Library Discussion at State House
Hopkinton Library was the topic of discussion at a meeting at the State House on April 2nd with representatives from the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners (MBLC), Representative Carolyn Dykema and Senator Karen Spilka. In March, Hopkinton moved up to #3 on the waiting list for its $4.5 million state Library Construction Grant. A bond bill including $150 million for Public Library Construction has passed the House of Representatives, and is expected to pass the Senate and be signed by the Governor by the end of June. With the state grant expected as soon as July 2014, the community will be asked to approve funding for the library at this year’s Annual Town Meeting on Monday, May 5, 2014 and Annual Town Election on Monday May 19.

From the candidate Great Schools - Managed Well
My name is Frank Sivo and I am running for one of two open seats on the Hopkinton School Committee. My desire is to help lead continuous improvement of our school system in a fiscally responsible way. If elected, I will be relentless in my support of great schools and will manage well our path forward.
Great Schools
Hopkinton has a strong school system that has improved greatly during my 20 years as a Hopkinton resident. It is consistently ranked in the top 10% of school districts in Massachusetts. However, there is still room for improvement.
Over the past few years, our schools' performance and statewide rankings have stopped advancing. In fact, in some areas there is a slight decline in performance as measured by MCAS, SAT, and AP exam results. We need School Committee members who are candid about the present state of affairs, bring fresh ideas for performance improvement, and drive us to reach higher goals in a cost-effective manner.
My professional career has been focused on defining a path to excellence and leading organizations on that journey. As a School Committee member, I will make full use of my management background to partner with the Administration and my School Committee peers to build and execute a vision that takes our schools to the next level. My number one goal will be to assure that every Hopkinton child is prepared for the challenges of the 21st century global economy.
Managed Well
In addition to inspiring higher district achievement, the School Committee must also manage well: budgets, personnel, and public relations. To support a clear vision and stretch goals, we must carefully construct budgets that reflect priorities that will be supported by the town, we must be very judicious in our hiring decisions, and we must be transparent in our communications with the community.
As a School Committee member, I will always focus on the quality of the decision, not on how a discussion or debate will be perceived on cable TV. I will work hard to restore public confidence in this critical part of our town's government.
For certain, I will be a strong advocate for our children. But advocacy must be balanced with critical oversight of the school district's operations and performance. I will be objective, independent, data-driven, and always focused on the district's most important needs.
Respectfully, I request your vote for School Committee on Monday, May 19th. With 25 years of management experience, I will strive to assure that Hopkinton has Great Schools and that they are Managed Well.

Ordinary People • Extraordinary Acts Car crashes on West Main Street, flips, catches fire, incapacitated driver rescued by witnesses . April 10, 2014 — Shortly after 1:00 pm this afternoon a vehicle left the roadway eastbound on West main Street at the merge prior to Cumberland Farms with no other vehicles travelling nearby. The vehicle left the roadway and scraped along the guardrail, attracting the attention of people at the two nearby gas stations, flipped over and caught fire. Several people sprang into action, some grabbing fire extinguishers, others helping pull the female driver, said to look in her fifties, out of the passenger door of the burning, flipped vehicle. A police officer on scene called them heroes.
The stubborn fire refused to be snuffed by the several people
hitting it with commercial extinguishers until the Hopkinton
Fire Department arrived and doused it with foam. Choose a

Proposed Downtown Building Clears One
Hurdle Above, concept drawing of plan for 14,000 sq. ft. building at 38-42 Main Street. Representatives said this evening that the main entrance will be on Main Street. Because the building will be 3 feet from the side property line, it can have 15% of the area windows. If it were any closer, according to Architect Scott Richardson, fire prevention regulations would prevent it from having any at all. by Robert Falcione April 9, 2014 — A team from Gorman, Richardson, Lewis Architects and Marquedant Associates presented their plea for relief from parking requirements from the Board of Appeals at a Public Hearing at Town Hall this evening for the proposed new building at 38-42 Main Street. Zoning regulations prohibit parking between a building and the street in the Downtown Business District, except by variance/special permit from the Zoning Board of Appeals. The team represented MNR Realty, LLC, Kathy and Greg Mazur, who purchased the land at 38-42 Main Street, and a building and land at 5 Walcott Street. They also purchased a dwelling at 7 Walcott, which they will demolish for parking spaces in order to construct a 14,000 square foot, two-story building. The couple is in discussions to locate a restaurant on the first floor. They also plan to have retail in the rear part of the first floor, and offices on the second floor. The only spaces of the 36 required that need relief are the six between the building and Walcott Street as shown in the plan below, and the two between the current garage at 5 Walcott, and the street. The latter will go away upon completion of the project, and then Kathy Mazur, who now occupies the second floor office space at 5 Walcott, will keep her office and convert the double garage into a retail space for her business, Swoon, in partnership with Lisa Strain. It will be a women’s boutique, carrying gifts, jewelry, accessories and women’s clothing. The parking regulations formula calls for 71 spaces for the floor space and seating calculations, according to Director of Land Use and Planning Elaine Lazarus, but recent changes in the zoning for the Downtown Business District cuts the required spaces in half to assist businesses in locating Downtown, she said. Only one abutter, Hopkinton Drug owner Dennis Katz, was present, and he spoke when the Chairman sought public input. "I have about 14,000 square feet and about a hundred-something spots [spaces]. My staff takes up half the spaces," he said, referring to his 50-person payroll. "You hide them well," said Chairman Michael Peirce, apparently unaware of the scope of operations. "Yes we do," answered Mr. Katz, adding that on a given shift he could have 20-30 people on staff, some working in the basement, the second floor offices, the pharmacy and the compounding lab, as well as the retail space. Only the retail space is open and visible to the public. Referring to the newly relaxed parking requirements, Mr. Katz said, "I am concerned about the congestion." The Board granted the requested relief by a unanimous vote. The proponents will go next to the Design Review board on April 15, and then back to the Planning Board on April 28.

Running for History
My
name is Emily Coburn and I am currently a sophomore at the
University of New Hampshire. I will be running the 118th
Boston Marathon to support the Hopkinton Historical Society.
The Boston Marathon, unique to most major marathons, has a
lot of history behind it. Starting in Hopkinton, we are the
first of 8 towns that have the Boston Marathon as a part of
our town history. Growing up in Hopkinton, I have grown up with the Boston Marathon being apart of my own life. I experience the Kenyon runners at Elmwood, which is always the most anticipated day of the year for elementary students. I have been at the starting line cheering on runners for every marathon since I have lived in Hopkinton. My dad is the head of the Start Marshals and therefore my family and I have given our time volunteering at the starting line for the past couple of years. The marathon is rooted inside of me and has a lot of meaning to me! That is why I feel honored to be able to run for the Hopkinton Historical Society, since the marathon makes up a lot of my own personal history and the history of this town! If at all possible, donations to the Historical Society would be greatly appreciated. You can donate and read my full story at www.gofundme.com/6o27l8 |

State Police Traffic Stop in Sturbridge Leads to Stolen Dealers Plate, Grave Markers
April
6, 2014 —
Today at approximately 7:30 a.m., Trooper Scott Shea of the
Sturbridge Barracks was on patrol when he overheard the
Dudley Police broadcast a description of a vehicle that was
possibly involved in the theft of a dealer’s registration
plate. At approximately 7:45 a.m., Trooper Shea
observed a vehicle matching the description pass his
location on Route 131 in Sturbridge. Trooper Shea also
observed this vehicle commit a motor vehicle violation at
the same time.
Trooper Shea stopped the vehicle on Route 131 in Sturbridge.
The operator of the vehicle was identified as ALAN E.
SAVIDES, 56, of Webster. Through the course of the
traffic inquiry, Trooper Shea observed the dealer
registration plate, a large number of veteran flag
holder/grave markers, a Webster Fire Department grave
marker, and a Polish American flag holder, inside the
vehicle. As a result of an investigation, SAVIDES was
placed under arrest and transported to the Sturbridge
Barracks for Receiving Stolen Property (Dealer registration
plate).
Trooper Shea continued to investigate the grave markers.
Through a joint investigation with Officer Leonard Gevry of
the Webster Police Department, SAVIDES was also charged with
twenty-five counts of the theft of the flag holder/grave
markers. The investigation revealed that these grave
markers were taken from Saint Josephs Garden of Peace
Cemetery on Old Worcester Road in Webster.
Subsequently, SAVIDES will be charged in Dudley District
Court tomorrow, on the following charges:
1.) Receiving
stolen property (Dealer registration plate)
2.) Removal
of a grave flag/token/or flowers (25
Counts) 3.) Following too close |
