Resident, Former Planning
Board Member, Sues Town of Hopkinton December15, 2014 — On November 17, 2014 — Former Planning Board member Todd Holbrook emailed Town Counsel Ray Miyares asking for the status of his request to have his street, Rice Street, designated as a public way, because, he has said, it has been treated like one all along. Mr. Holbrook resigned his elected position on the Planning Board in anticipation of this eventually, because Mr. Holbrook is an attorney, and serving on the board while suing the town would be a conflict. The residents of private ways in Hopkinton have been notified that their streets will no longer be maintained or plowed. Mr. Miyares stated the Town's position, writing, "The Town has classified Rice Street as a privately-owned way. " On Friday, Mr. Holbrook wrote to the selectmen, the press, and others: "All: I had hoped the Town would be reasonable and recognize that Rice Street has become a public way so that limited Town funds could be spent where they belong, on public projects, instead of on lengthy litigation. Unfortunately, after more than three weeks to consider the complaint, the response I received from the Town is that below. I am very disappointed. I have, therefore, today filed suit against the Town. Scanned copies of documents are attached and the service copy is being sent to the Town Clerk via certified mail as per M.R.Civ.P. 4. Given that the Town has had these documents for almost a month already, with my promise to file suit should you not change your decision, I do not anticipate granting any extensions of time to the Town for its answer or responses to discovery requests.
I do remain interested in an agreed resolution to this dispute.
Regards, Todd" The complaint, which was filed last Friday, can be read here. |

Not Enough Signs
December 12, 2014 — Despite four "No Parking" signs nearly within arm's length, and a Main Street that, strange as it seems, had just one vehicle parked within a 150' radius, some special person parked this vehicle between two signs prohibiting such behavior. Some people may believe that it is picayune to take note of such things, but the photographer witnessed a trash truck blocking Main Street after swinging wide and seeing a vehicle illegally parked in its path. It waited in two lanes of Main Street traffic while the vehicle was moved two days ago. There are also two signs on the opposite side of the street banning parking. Parking there at night could cause an accident, because there is a sidewalk there, which could force people to walk around into the street, which is poorly lit. Or, an individual could swing from the eastbound Main Street and strike the illegally parked vehicle in the dark, because few vehicles have lights that light the turning area, like my 1985 Country Squire did. There are reasons the signs are there. |

Medical Center's
President and CEO Announced December 12, 2014 —
Milford Regional Medical Center's Board of Trustees
has selected Edward J. Kelly as the corporation's
president and CEO effective January 1, 2016.
Currently, Kelly is president of Milford Regional.
He will succeed CEO Francis M. Saba, who has served
as both president and/or CEO at Milford Regional
since 1990. The president and CEO positions will be
combined when Kelly assumes the position in 2016.
"It is with great pleasure that the board announces
our unanimous decision to choose Ed Kelly as
successor to Frank Saba in the important role as
Milford Regional's president and CEO," says John
Burns, chairman of Milford Regional's board of
trustees. "Milford Regional has had the good fortune
of cultivating strong leadership that ensures
Milford Regional's continued stature as one of the
region's premier healthcare systems. Having worked
closely together for over 20 years, Frank and Ed
share the same mission and vision for the hospital
as well as the communities it serves. We are
confident that Ed will build upon the outstanding
foundation set by Frank during his remarkable tenure
at Milford Regional."
Kelly's career in healthcare, which spans more than
30 years, has included senior level positions at
MetroWest Medical Center; Leonard Morse Hospital; as
well as managerial positions at Leonard Morse; St.
Elizabeth's Hospital; and Beth Israel Hospital. He
came to Milford Regional in 1993 as chief financial
officer and was promoted to executive vice president
in 1998. Ten years later, Kelly was named president
of Milford Regional. He directs and manages all day
to day operations of the hospital and is currently
overseeing the new, $54 million building project
(which will include a new emergency department,
intensive care unit and private patient rooms)
slated to open in the fall of 2015.
During his tenure at Milford Regional, Kelly played
a key role in the development of Tri-County Medical
Associates (the Medical Center’s affiliated
physician practice group); the merger with the
Visiting Nurse Association of the Greater
Milford/Northbridge Area; and the renovation and
construction of numerous projects including the new
Cancer Center with Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women’s
