On May 21, at 12:30 pm at the Hopkinton Senior
Center, Gary Hylander will discuss Eleanor Roosevelt. Eleanor
Roosevelt’s life was a long and complex process of self-discovery.
Growing up as a shy and awkward child, she found her voice and
confidence in the politics of the New Deal. Nicknamed "Eleanor
Everywhere" by the press, she traveled where her stricken husband
could not go. Mrs. Roosevelt changed forever the role of First Lady.
Diplomat, social activist and political visionary, she is remembered
today as one of the nation's most beloved public figures. |

Roadway Resurfacing
Every year our goal is to begin Pavement Management work as soon as school ends in June and finish in September when school begins. We will post updated construction dates as we move forward with each project. Under the Town of Hopkinton’s Road Opening Permit Policy, No permit will be granted for a period of 5 years on newly paved streets except in the case of an emergency. If your street is on this year’s list and you are considering having any utility work done to your home that would require the road to be cut I would recommend contacting the appropriate utility company and schedule the work to be done before June 15th, 2015. This will ensure that you get the work you need done before we begin resurfacing that street. Here is a list of streets that are currently scheduled to be resurfaced this year. Ash St – From Stone Crossing to Front St Oakhurst Rd – Full length Proctor St – From Saddle Hill Rd to cul-de-sac Walker St – Full length Meserve St – Full length Teresa Rd – From Nicholas Rd (E) to Alexander Rd
(E) Wilson St – 1500’ N of East Main St to 2800’ N
of East Main St Main St – West Main St to 100’ E of Claflin PL Wood St – Westboro line to 1000 ft E of Rocky
Woods Rd Wood St – 495 bridge to Elm St Once work begins on each project please expect delays, seek alternate routes when possible and plan accordingly. The DPW appreciates your patience and cooperation during this 2015 construction season. Sincerely, Mike Mansir, Highway Manager |

Reply to Winston
by Robert Falcione
May 7, 2015 — Thank you. I came by my knowledge
(About cancer) the hard way. I don't blame them in a way, the Greenies, but
personally, I'd rather not wipe my face with a recycled napkin, or
wipe something else with a recycled bathroom tissue paper.
So, to sum up, I will pat your dog on occasion and let it shake my hand as often as I let humans shake my hand. But your dog may not kiss me, lick me anywhere, or invade my personal space with its nose.
And if you have a poodle, I am staying off of the oriental rug. |

Legacy Farms Wins by ONE VOTE! Third try is the charm 
by Robert Falcione May 6, 2015—Roy S. MacDowell, Jr. presented to Town Meeting this evening his plan to change zoning of 200,000 sq. ft. of commercial development at Legacy Farms North, to 180 age-restricted units of housing. The first vote for the Article itself was close, but failed to reach the 2/3 necessary to pass. Someone called for a recount, and the next count passed affirmatively. Someone called for a third recount, claiming in so many words that the Moderator was making an arbitrary choice in choosing the second one over the first. The Moderator agreed to a third standing vote, which was 171 in favor, and 85 against. If one vote switched from the affirmative to the negative side, the affirmative would have fallen short of the 2/3 necessary and the measure would have failed. But it won, instead. The debate was civil and measured, with the pros and cons making valid arguments. Planning Board member Frank D'Urso took the mic to inform that he was the only member to vote against the plan. He cautioned against putting 180 units that close to the [LNG] gas tanks. He would later say that he was simply against that many homes. However, he was pitching the 380 housing unit "Crossroads" concept to his fellow board members only a few weeks ago.
Someone else cautioned about a blast zone from the
aforementioned tanks. [Liquefied Natural Gas is not known to
explode unless converted to a gas, Former Selectman Matthew Zettek, who is a direct abutter to Legacy Farms property (But not the parcel under discussion) spoke against the proposal, wondering what has changed since a similar proposal failed last year. A couple of people wanted to hold Mr. MacDowell to his original plan, and for reasons that may have had pejorative implications. But Claire Wright, a Planning Board member, above at mic, who is not known for letting a perceived personal offense stand in public, said, "This does not imply broken promises. This was a concept plan. "Long before Roy was on the scene, Sasaki Associates [Group hired by the town to develop a Master Plan for East Hopkinton] showed how various uses could change. "The deciding factor was that it would be revenue positive for the town," she said. "We've ended up with the best developer we could," said former Planning Board member Richard MacDonald at the microphone, referring to Mr. MacDowell. The highlight of the entire evening prior to the vote, which sent the entire room into uproarious laughter, was when tree man Joe Regan inquired about the $9,000 penalty for having children in the age-restricted community. Mr. Regan entertained a scenario where an older gentleman who qualifies as a resident under the age-restricted rules marries a young bride. "She tells him she's pregnant with twins, he has a heart attack and dies, making his bride a widow. "Are you telling me the homeowners association is going the foot the entire $18,000 annual bill until those kids get out of school?" he asked. The revenue positive projections can be seen at www.LegacyFarms.com/ Please check it out if you haven't already. |

HOPKINTON POLICE PRESS RELEASE
Suspicious Incident Involving Child
At 6:40pm dispatch received a call from the
Vice President of the Hopkinton Youth Soccer reporting the
suspicious incident. Units responded and searched the area.
Detective DeBoer and Chief Lee responded as well. A search of
the area and the local restaurants was conducted however the
vehicle was not located. The suspect has been described as a
white male in his 50’s, thin build, with grey hair and wearing
sunglasses.
This incident has similarities with other
incidents that have occurred in Central Massachusetts. The
Hopkinton Police Department recommends that parents speak to
their children about strangers and what to do when they are
approached by one. Children should understand who is a stranger
and who is not. Children should also understand that strangers
do not ask for help from children. Additionally, children should
also know not to engage strangers, but walk or run away to tell
an adult.
The Hopkinton Police Department asks that parents, neighbors, merchants and all members of the community be vigilant in keeping our children safe. If anything seems suspicious or out of the ordinary call 911 immediately. Our best chance at preventing and solving crime lies in our community partnerships. If you have any information that can assist the Hopkinton Police in this matter please contact Detective Gregg DeBoer at (508) 497-3401 ext. 1279 or our Crime Tip Line at (508) 497-9785. |

This Land is Remaining
As It Is! It is NOT Legacy Farms Silly Season Begins 
by Robert Falcione May 6, 2015 — An image of this land has been circulating with an image of Legacy Farms South Road on the bottom half of the page, implying that the above view from East Main Street will turn into a street with homes if you don't vote against Article 30 tonight. THIS IS NOT LEGACY FARMS. Roy MacDowell does not own it. The majority of the land shown above, and some that cannot be seen to the right, off frame, is owned by Roger Mezitt, a former owner of Weston Nurseries, which sold hundreds of acres to Legacy Farms. Roger got to keep this 58 acres, and his homes, as well as some other land, which is elsewhere. We know brother Wayne has his homestead and a few acres of his own near the top of the photo. NONE of this is legacy Farms land. NONE! Why bring this up now?
Former School Committee and Charter Commission member Marie
Eldridge has called the election season "Silly Season." And what
she meant is that people
This is the time of year people find flyers and letters in their doors or mailboxes making unanswerable charges against political opponents or political initiatives at the eleventh hour. And like many in the past, this, too, is unsigned. Roy MacDowell has spent a lot of effort and money to get the word out about the benefits of the change he is proposing, to trade the originally approved 200,000 square feet of commercial land for 180 age-restricted units. Is it the right fit, as they say? Please choose the link at the top of the page yourself and read about the benefits, because the people who want you to believe that the above land is part of the change won't be telling you about the benefits. After reading about the proposal and deciding if $1.8 million in immediate benefit, and $1.5 million in yearly benefits is good for Hopkinton, then take a look around at the new sidewalk (Choose thumbnail), the lights and intersection expansion Downtown, the shaved roadway near the Toll House and the beginning of Legacy farms Road North, and decide if Roy MacDowell is keeping his word. And that is just the tip of the iceberg. This proposal has been studied by the town's experts and has had the support of the Board of Selectmen as well as the Planning Board and others. Please attend Town Meeting this evening and decide for yourself. It begins at 7:00 pm at the middle school. |

What is a PJM?
May 6, 2015 — This bee is enjoying the nectar from the PJM Rhododendron near where Frankland Road and East Main Street used to meet on Weston Nurseries property. It was hybridized by second generation nurseryman, Ed Mezitt in 1945. He named it for his father, Peter J. Mezitt. A new Peter Mezitt, Ed's grandson, is President of the nursery today. |

Generous Town Meeting Approves $14.1
Million DPW Facility with 50 Year Life Expectancy Attempt to derail rail trail thrown off-track 
May 6, 2015—A generous, smaller than the evening before, but more agreeable group of Town Meeting voters approved the budget last evening as the first order of business. They also approved paying bills from previous years after a shaming from Claire Wright the night before. A new DPW facility for $14.1 million will have greater capacity for storage, personnel, vehicles and the public, and will be good for the next 50 years, according to speakers and a presentation by Dan McIntyre. One speaker questioned why the facility was not built on Fruit Street land that the town owns. Most of the Fruit Street land outside of the Zone 1 well aquifer is a Zone 2 aquifer, and as such prohibits the siting of fuel storage and salt storage, an opinion that then-building inspector Michael Shepard came under fire for several years ago. The ensuing battle of words between him and then selectman Ron Clark was the catalyst for Mr. Shepard running for selectman himself, a seat he then won. Another speaker suggested there was a toxic materials problem on the Wood Street site, but the consultant for the job said there was no contamination. "This will take us through the next 50 years," said DPW Director John Westerling. "A clear 2/3 majority," of the 206 voters agreed, according to Town Moderator Dr. Bruce Karlin. The night before 266 voters took part in voting. The next few articles passed for a fire truck, water truck, and a water main for Cedar Street. Appropriations Committee Chair Mike Manning said that the Article 22 $500,000 Fruit Street upgrades were not right now, and suggested the funds come from the Parks and Rec enterprise fund, and that no action be taken. The gathering supported his recommendation. The matter will come up as the first order of business this evening under Motion 2 of Article 29. Repairs to the Hopkins School roof were not as contentious as the accompanying High School roof repair, of damage caused by the installation of solar panels by a method, one speaker said, that is since no longer favored. An amendment was added to seek remedies, by litigation or other means, to hold the installer responsible, and the article passed. Article 29 dealing with CPC funds was not a slam-dunk. At the outset, Rick Flannery, who lives near the end of the Wycoff land, a half-mile railroad bed which the town wants to purchase for inclusion as part of the Center Trail, moved to delete the section from the Article, saying the town would need to purchase his land to complete the trail, and that isn't going to happen. Other speakers said his land was not necessary, and that the rest of the trail could come out elsewhere. Mr. Flannery's attempt to throw the rail trail off track was derailed by a no vote to his amendment. The rest of the CPC articles for Article 29, Motion 1 passed, leaving Motion 2, $500,000 for Fruit Street facilities, as the first part of the warrant to be considered this evening, the third night of Town Meeting. The following Article will be number 30, a motion to exchange 200,000 square feet of commercial space for 180 age-restricted homes at Legacy Farms. |

Town Meeting Stalls in Weeds by Robert Falcione May 5, 2015 — The nays had it right at the
outset at last night's Town Meeting when they defeated Roger
Mezitt's motion to hear Article 30 after Article 10. Moderator
Bruce Karlin did not provide guidance on positioning when asked
for an earlier inclusion, and so Mr. Mezitt (photo, below)
simply chose one randomly. Article 30 is a zoning Article that proposes to trade 200,000 sq. ft. of commercial space for 180 units of age-restricted housing on the north side of the Legacy Farms Open Space Mixed Use Development near Rafferty Road. Legacy Farms owner Roy S. MacDowell Jr. has been conducting an intensive marketing and education campaign to convince voters that they will benefit to the tune of $1.8 million immediately, and $1.5 million in net revenue per year thereafter. Mr. Mezitt is part of the family that sold the property to Mr. MacDowell and his group. Mr. Mezitt's plea was undoubtedly to use the large group of voters that showed up on this first night as a greater representation of the general population. The second night of Town Meeting is usually not as well attended, and Monday night's group was the size it was as a result of interest in squashing a herbicide-based weed control plan for Lake Maspenock. The weed control plan was attacked by a group who spread fear about the use of the herbicide diquat, and some of the speakers cited false information or misused available information to scare other voters. Many were motivated by a general fear, or concern, of all chemicals, and used this as a platform. Diquat has been used since the 1950s and has been tested by the EPA every 6 years since 1994. One speaker, Margo Roman, a veterinarian, tried to link her claim that 40 % of her dog patients have cancer to the topic under discussion. There is no evidence that diquat causes cancer, but another speaker also claimed it did. One voter, speaking against the herbicide said, "We all remember when all the fish died in the eighties." That never happened. And diquat was not the herbicide of choice then, arsenic was. A few fish did die. Fish don't live forever. The EPA considers 20 parts per billion to be safe. Diquat is applied to individual plants, not as a concentrated dump into an entire water supply. Some voters said they had children, and after being initially against diquat and then becoming educated about it, they favored its use. Diquat is a herbicide, a killer of plants, much like chlorine is a killer of bacteria in swimming pools. It is true, improper handling and exposure to concentrated Diquat can affect humans adversely, not much differently than a toxic exposure to chlorine. Some of the individuals favoring immediate use of the herbicide cited possible near-term putrifaction of the lake without it. Anyway, the entire budget discussion was sidetracked by the inclusion of $60,000 for a weed management plan by the anti-herbiciders, as the vote on the amendment turned out, without the use of herbicides. One person did question the budget itself. Former Selectman Ron Clark, saying he was helping to fill the void while town officials corrected figures in their calculations of the $72,388,886 budget, had some hard questions for town officials. Mr. Clark asked why the budget for general government was up 43% in two fiscal years, why HR was up 95%, IT up 90%, why Treasurer/Collector was up 96% and legal 20%. He also questioned why the office of the selectmen (Town Manager) has gone from the former 2 full time 1 part time to 3 full time and now a new Assistant Town manager. He said he hoped they would come in level funded for next year. Several funding Articles were tabled because the "free cash" associated with them has not yet been certified by the state. The meeting reconvenes this evening at 7:00 pm in the middle school auditorium, and discussion on Article 8, the budget, will likely be one of the first orders of business. Last evening, 266 voters took part in the process, according to one vote total. Day two of Town Meeting usually draws fewer voters.

Barracks in Sturbridge.
May
8, 2015—Shortly before 2 a.m. today, Massachusetts State Police and
Springfield Police located and arrested a fugitive suspected in a
Connecticut murder.
As
we approach the start of our roadway resurfacing season I would like
to thank the residents of Hopkinton for their continued support of
our Pavement Management Program. We had a very successful 2014
season and hope to continue that in 2015 as funding allows. Each
street that is on this year’s list has been inspected and evaluated
to determine which treatment method is best based on its current
condition. This will help ensure that we are maximizing the use of
our Chapter 90 money in the most effective way.
Boston-
Thursday, May 7, 2015- With temperatures again reaching near 80
degrees over the next few days and into the weekend, the Department
of Conservation and Recreation would like to remind the public of
the dangers associated with swimming in extreme cold waters.
Currently, water temperatures in Massachusetts lakes and ponds are
in the 40’s and 50’s, while ocean temperatures remain in the 40’s.
Swimming in such cold waters, even within a short period of time,
can quickly cause hypothermia in the human body.
Readers:
Following a post to the discussion page, Quality Conversations,
where I went rather far in my infuriation at people who use the
unsubstantiated fear of cancer as method of shaping the
opinion of others, I decide to reply. As a cancer survivor, I was
repulsed by the strategy. Winston replied that the naysayers were
"green" and couldn't tolerate any chemicals at all. What follows is
my reply to Winston (And then some tangents).
The
Friends of Whitehall recently received the Shared Stewardship Award
from the Department of Conservation and Recreation for
“extraordinary contribution to furthering stewardship of the state
parks system.” Richard B. Trubiano (File photo), Forest and Park
Supervisor in Hopkinton nominated FOW and detailed our efforts of
leadership and continued support through funding and volunteerism on
so many valuable projects. He cited FOW’s stewarding trails and
providing maintenance as well as sponsoring many scout projects,
hosting of clean ups and workshops. The MassParks Awards Committee
was also “moved and inspired by the sheer volume of your
contribution to the state parks for over ten years. The
extraordinary work that you do promotes the agency’s mission, and we
are certainly grateful that your efforts have promoted shared
stewardship of our treasured resources.” (From the letter
announcing the award from Priscilla Geigis, MassParks Director and
Adam Morris, MassParks Awards Chair)
The
Hopkinton Police Department is actively investigating a
suspicious incident involving a child who was approached by an
older man. The child was attending a soccer game at the Fruit
Street field when she was approached by a man driving a darker
grey vehicle, possibly a Honda Accord. The man asked if the girl
knew where a local restaurant was. The girl immediately ran away
and told a coach.
operator of the vehicle and sent him on his way.
In
addition to his wife, he is survived by his son Michael, his wife
Jess and grandchildren Ashley and Thomas of Hopkinton; his sister
Mary Harrington and her husband William of Hopkinton and many nieces
and nephews. He is predeceased by his son Kevin, who died in
July 1982.
