Town Hall Executives Dispute Chicken Little Attitude
Town Manager and HR Director respond to
sensationalism
by Robert Falcione
October 15, 2014 — As most
readers know, HopNews used to have a discussion
page that was fairly anonymous. People did not
have to sign in, leave a real name, or even be
who they might have said they were. There were a
lot of nasty things said about a lot of people —
the kind of speculation that can snowball into
rumors being taken as fact after enough
repetition. And then there were the personal
insults and straw man arguments where people
attributed false beliefs to those they did not
like. That page has been gone for some time — it
took an enormous amount of time deleting the
nasty posts — and there have been a few people
who have lamented to me personally about its
absence. But now comes Quality Conversations
discussion page, which requires a login and
membership to post. Oh, everyone can still read
everything, but only those who sign in can offer
opinions or information. And so it is more
insipid than the former. I guess that is point
number one.
I guess the next point is the sensationalism
about recent resignations at Town Hall and "The
sky is falling" attitude
of
people uncomfortable with change. Resisting is
probably the most common reaction to upcoming,
imminent or sudden change, and so that is not
surprising at all.
What was surprising is that there was a string
begun in Quality Conversations that pointed out
four resignations of people at Town Hall and
tried to tie them to the employees being
disgruntled, or to a problem at the top. The
readers were responding to stories they read
elsewhere. So, while we can see why change is
often resisted in a normal, knee-jerk type of
reaction, we hope people put the brakes on the
bunk. Did we miss a story? Perhaps, but not the
story the others had.
What about the Principal Assessor, Bob
Bushway, who left last summer?
"He did a great job in the 15 years he worked in
Hopkinton," said Town Manager, Norman Khumalo in
response to a question about his departure.
"He went to the next level. He found a community
where he could do this on a larger scale, and
closer to his home," Mr. Khumalo said today
during a short interview with him and
Human Resources Director Debbie-Hilton Creek,
who also turned in her resignation. He spoke
about Ms. Hilton-Creek, who began her career in
the military 25 years ago.
"She has an MBA. People came looking for her,"
he said, answering questions about her
resignation.
"She got a phone call and an offer she couldn't
refuse," he said. "She was the Chief Human
Resource Officer for another Health Care
organization," he said, implying that she would
soon work for another. He commented that
LinkedIn is a new way for employers to find
people. There were two other recent Town Hall
resignations.
"Kevin Hanley [Parks and Rec Director]
got a great opportunity minutes from his home in
Waltham," said Ms. Hilton-Creek. Deputy
Assessor Patti Howell handed in her
resignation recently, too.
"She relocated to Florida," offered Ms.
Hilton-Creek.
Mr. Khumalo attributed the resignations to the
practice of promotion and upward mobility of the
workforce. The workforce has been stagnant since
the Great Recession hit in 2007 and the ensuing
weak recovery.
"When employees go on to the next level, we
celebrate that," he said with unrestrained
ebullience.
Let's offer them all our best wishes for their
futures.

Exuberance
October 15, 2014 —
Motivation speaker Don Arnoudse brought his
highly charged positive energy to over 60
employees of the Golden Pond Assisted Care
Facility yesterday in The Lodge. His main
message is:
We do not have
to live the seductive but toxic story of
“thoroughly using ourselves up before we die”.
We can do what makes us come alive—every day,
every moment—until our last breath. We can die
full of life—and make a difference while
we live. We can live exuberantly until the end.
Exuberance is an
uplifting, contagious energy that moves people
into focused, collective action. It’s our
birthright; part of the design of being human.
Our first order of business is to take care of
our own energy, our essential life force, our
exuberance. This requires constant attention to
how we mix self-care, purpose, and
relationships. It's our "light" that raises the
spirits of those we serve.

where they had to give back to the community where
they felt assistance was needed. These girls felt
the seniors in Hopkinton might be 'lonely' and they
wanted to make them 'happy' by bridging the gap
between seniors and students. The team sold school

3D Mammography at Milford Regional
Recognizing
that accurate, early detection of breast cancer is so
important for successful treatment, Milford Regional has
recently invested in advanced technology in mammography.
3D mammography, also known as tomosynthesis, is a new
screening and diagnostic tool that creates a 3D image of
your breast tissue in one millimeter slices, providing
greater visibility for the radiologist to see breast
detail in a way never before possible.
Milford Regional has been performing
digital mammograms for years but with the addition of
tomosynthesis and brand new, upgraded digital equipment,
we are able to provide the radiologist with much better
visibility of breast tissue. The result is greater
accuracy in finding breast cancer at its earliest stage
as well as reducing call backs for another test when the
radiologist wants a second look.
The American Cancer Society recommends a
screening mammography every year for women, beginning at
age 40. In addition, women who have had breast cancer or
who are at increased risk due to a genetic history of
breast cancer should speak to their doctor about
beginning screening mammography before age 40.
With convenient early morning, evening
and weekend hours at Milford Regional, mammograms can be
scheduled to fit your schedule.To
schedule an appointment, call our Diagnostic Imaging
Scheduling Center at 508-422-BOOK (508-422-2665) Monday
through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.For

GUIDE
SENIOR ENTRANCE: ONE LAST CHARGE
By Jillian Sullivan
October
9. 2014 — Pep rally at Hopkinton High School
represents one of the seniors last chances to make a
statement to their peers, and they are known for
doing so by making a grand entrance into the rally
as it begins.
Class officers are usually in charge of running the
senior’s entrance, but this year’s senior class
delegated the task to their peer and member of the
class of 2015, Maddie Dragsbaek. Dragsbaek has
choreographed a routine for her classmates and is
confident in their ability to perform.
“In years past, I’ve volunteered to put something
together for our class skit but it never worked out.
This whole thing has kind of been an idea in the
making since I was a freshman.” said Dragsbaek.
The entrance represents class pride, and Dragsbaek
has the background to make it into something
spectacular that the seniors can be proud of. “I
have been taking dance since the seventh grade, and
I’m a hip-hop dance teacher for regular classes as
well as competition teams.”
This is one of her biggest projects. “I’ve been
working on this completely alone with occasional
help from classmates Ashley Olafsen and Graham Kulig.
It’s been extremely stressful because of the
expectations everyone has.”
Past years have never had choreographed routines and
mostly consisted of running and chaos. “This is
actually put together. It’s simple, but it’s going
to be interesting to watch.” Dragsbaek said. “I’m
just looking forward to seeing if we can actually
pull this off and if I’ll get to walk back to the
bleachers knowing that I actually did this even
though people were unsure of my ideas.”
Principal of Hopkinton High School Evan Bishop has
been keeping a watchful eye over the seniors and
working closely with them to make sure everything
runs smoothly on the big day. “We had practice last
night from 6:30 to 7:00, and there was probably 50%
of the class there so most of them were missing and
will have some catching
up
to do,” Bishop explained; “They have a cool theme,
but we had to change a couple of things at the
practice to make it a little more mainstream.”
“My main concern is safety. I want the seniors to
have fun and to enjoy the entrance, but I also don’t
want everyone jumping all over each other,” Bishop
said.
“The seniors have done a nice job this year. I’m
excited to see how everything turns out.” explained
Bishop. “I was impressed with the organization of it
all. This is my fourth time going to see a senior
entrance practice, and this year’s is by far the
most organized.”
Of course, no one is more excited for the entrance
than the seniors. Victoria Esper, a senior at the
high school and participant in the entrance said,
“The practice went so well. It was actually a lot
better than I expected. I thought it would be messy,
because usually people tend to not listen to their
peers. But everyone was focused and wanted to
learn.”
Vice President of the Class of 2015 Ashley Olafsen
agreed. “I am so grateful that we have had someone
so amazing doing the choreography, because it came
out great, and it is a huge weight lifted off of my
shoulders.” She said.
“It’s our last time to do it and to make a
statement, and it’s a reflection of who we are as a
class.” Olafsen said. “Everyone’s been really good
about feedback so far and helping with the process.
I’m just hoping the final product will come out as
good as we expect.”
With this Friday quickly approaching, students and
faculty will be able to see just how well the
rehearsal and planning paid off at pep rally.
Parents and the community will be able to view it on
