Registration for the 2015
The B.A.A. will accept up to 8,000 additional
qualifiers during the next phase of registration.
During this period, any eligible qualifier may submit an
application for entry. Entry is not first-come,
first-served during this period.
The
B.A.A. opened registration on September 8 and through
the course of last week accepted entry submissions from
qualifiers through a systematic process by which those
who are among the fastest of all to have achieved the
qualifying mark for their age and gender would be able
to enter first. From September 8 through September 13,
the B.A.A. received approximately 16,000 registration
submissions. At the conclusion of the next phase of
registration, the B.A.A. will accept up to 8,000
additional qualifiers.
Due
to field size limitations, it is possible that not all
qualifiers who submit an entry will be accepted. If more
runners apply than can be accepted, then acceptance will
be granted to the fastest qualifiers among the
applicants. Those not accepted for entry due to field
size limitations also will receive an email from the
B.A.A. at the conclusion of the application period.
The
field for the 2015 Boston Marathon will be comprised of
more than 80% qualifiers, which is a percentage equal or
greater to recent past years. Part of the field is
comprised annually of invitational entries, including
allocations reserved for elite athletes, those running
for charitable organizations, sponsors, and community
participation.
The field size limit for the 2015 Boston Marathon is 30,000 official entrants. The field size for the 2013 Boston Marathon was 27,000 official entrants.

Falling Victim to "Free Money" Editor:
Before any other steps are taken Hopkinton has already paid the price for "free money": two valued members have been dismissed from the Commission and one outstanding, dedicated member has had to defend herself during a demeaning cross-examination.
Nobody knows at this point where all this is headed. However, it is clear that state grant money may have unintended consequences that will not be beneficial to our town. "Free money" has already come to Hopkinton with a high price.

12, 2014 — Join Hopkinton Public
Library Foundation for its Second Annual Hoptoberfest, a

and expansion of Hopkinton Public Library. With
the generosity of Platinum Sponsors Hallmark Sotheby’s
International Realty and Phipps Insurance Agency, this
year’s Hoptoberfest is Friday, October 24, from 7:30 to
10:30 P.M., in the Parish Center of St. John’s Church in
Hopkinton. Taste numerous local microbrews, name brand
beers and delicious food from local restaurants and
caterers. Live, traditional Oompah music will add
to the festivities. Additional specialty items
available for purchase at the event include premium
whiskeys and spirits in a souvenir glass and a wide
variety of cigars from the Rolling Stogies 57-foot
walk-in humidor. New this year is a Home Brew contest.
If you would like to join the brewers showcasing their
homemade beer, contact HPLF at
events@hopkintonpubliclibraryfoundation.org
for more information.
Tickets are $60 per person or
$100 per couple and may be purchased at
www.HPLFinc.org,
at the Library, or at the Polyarts Festival on Hopkinton
Common. Hoptoberfest is for adults aged 21 and
over (please bring an I.D. to the event). Last
year, Hoptoberfest raised over $18,000 for the Library
project, while 16 partygoers joined the “1000 Homes for
Hopkinton Library” pledging an additional $16,000 at the
event. Last year’s tickets sold out weeks before
the event; so get your tickets early!
To learn more about HPLF’s fall events, and the planned restoration, renovation and expansion of the Library, please visit www.HPLFinc.org. Constructed in 1895, Hopkinton Public Library was last renovated and expanded in 1967 when it was joined with the adjacent Episcopal Church, bringing the Library to its current size of 5,783 square feet. On July 14, 2011, the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners (MBLC) approved Hopkinton’s plan for the renovation and expansion of the Library and awarded Hopkinton a $4.5 million Library Construction Grant. At the May 2014 Town Meeting and Town Election, Hopkinton voters approved funding the $11.7 million Library project. The MBLC funded Hopkinton’s $4.5 million grant in August 2014, and Hopkinton can expect to receive the first installment of its grant (about $900,000) in the fall of 2014. Once completed, Hopkinton Public Library will provide a modern, accessible facility that meets the current and future needs of the community, while preserving and highlighting the architectural features of the beloved buildings. |

Resident Lectures Selectmen
September 11, 2014 — This evening during the Board of Selectmen's Public Forum, Hopkinton native Tom Terry admonished the four selectmen who were present at the August 12 meeting when Historic District Commission member Claire Wright was attempted to be forced to pledge allegiance to the new library project, before she would be reappointed to the commission for which she has a unique passion. Mrs. Wright serves on several town entities including the powerful Planning Board. This evening, Mr. Terry excluded Selectman Michelle Gates from his accusations, and spoke in a grandfatherly tone about the behavior of the selectmen who were present on August 12, but did not single anyone out. However, a review of the recording of the meeting shows a heavy-handedness by Selectman Ben Palleiko toward Mrs. Wright. Mr. Terry said the behavior needed to be "tempered." He said he heard descriptions like "overly scrutinized," "underhandedness," and "arrogant" to describe what people witnessed during that interview. On August 12, Mrs. Wright maintained her integrity and said that the Hopkinton Historical District Commission would work in a spirit of collaboration with all of the parties involved in the library project. She stated that the HHDC had never denied a project. Prior to the first appointment this evening, Chairman Todd Cestari suggested that the board revert to a previously used process for appointing new board and committee members; a ballot vote by each selectman so that the process of appointing board and committee members did not become a race to see which selectman would get their motion in first. After eliciting discussion from the members, Mr. Cestari decided that they would continue the current method, and discuss the change further, at another time. Jeff Doherty had a moment at the microphone also. Mr. Doherty, owner of Angel's Garden Center, complained of the sequence of the new light a the intersection of School and West Main streets, the effect it has on people waiting southbound on School Street, and that it has affected his business (coffee shop, garden center) detrimentally from that neighborhood. He mentioned that people on Elizabeth Road were affected, and he got no argument from Selectmen — two of them live there, as does former selectman Brian Herr. Selectman Chair Todd Cestari promised to leave a minute earlier to stop for coffee. |

From Barbaric to Civilized
September 11, 2014 — Above, Joan and John Archer look over their garden that has been 28 years in the making, from the second floor balcony of their Barbara Road home. Each has a flag flying signifying their native lands. In the background are trees felled by a microburst — the "barbaric side" — which they said was a similar state of their land before the garden, pool and bar (off camera) were built. The couple left their respective professions of art and engineering for a life of furniture building several years ago, forming a company called Furniture Fayre that thrived for 11 years out of the Bernat Mills in Uxbridge, an old textile mill converted into workshops and showrooms. That 400,000 square foot mill burned to the ground in July, 2007 in an uncontrollable conflagration that took the Archers' business as well as about 60 others. The Archers spoke to the HopNews camera following the fire, in front of Uxbridge Town Hall. These days, they build furniture for themselves and their daughter, make investments in the stock market, and of course, work in their 28 year-old garden. |

Parent Alert: Dangers of
a Popular Social Media App: Yik Yak
September 10, 2014 —
The anonymous social wall has been popular in Hopkinton
Middle and High School. This app is free and easy to
download. The app is location based and allows you to
post whatever you want about whoever you want
anonymously. Its radius is limited to a 1.5 mile area,
so it’s really a conversation by Hopkinton Teens about
Hopkinton teens. As the School Resource Officer, I have
monitored this site and found some positive, but mostly
negative chats that are derogatory or may even be
considered bullying.
There are an infinite number of applications so we can
never eliminate or block all of them. Please talk with
your children about what apps they use and educate them
about the dangers of social media. If you have
questions, please contact: Phil Powers

Hopkinton
is falling victim to the guidelines imposed by state
grant money. Before any collaboration with the
Hopkinton Historic District Commission and nearby
neighbors, the library board of directors went after
"free money" . The state never asked about the
impact that this proposed structure would have on
the Historic District of Hopkinton. It just imposed
its vision of what Hopkinton should have for a
library.
Thanks to Yanks
students to honor the one year anniversary of keeping
Shayne Desroches in our hearts and memory.
