Selectmen Do Not Approve Beer and Wine License for 89 West Main
Street
May 19, 2015—Andrea McCarthy (Standing) of Jerry Effren's law office advocated for a Wine and Malt license for Kinja Patel and Ekta Patel, who have been hoping to sell wine and beer at their grocery store planned for 89 West Main Street (former Golden Spoon), but the board failed to approve it. The last license the board voted against was Mike Patel's, who also wanted to sell beer and wine at his Country Farms Convenience store on Cedar Street, which also hosts a Subway franchise. At that time, during the discussion, Selectman Brian Herr told Mr. Patel tersely, "One [infraction] and you're done." However, this evening, Mr. Herr, who was elected "less than 24 hours ago" stepped out of the room during the discussion due to his lack of preparation for this case, and the fact that it was a continued hearing, the first part of which he was not yet on the board. He did not run for election last year, because he was running for the US Senate.
The board reorganized this evening, voting Ben Palleiko as Chair
and John Coutinho as Vice Chair. Below, board shuffles seats after reorganizing.

Ask a Mason May 17, 2015—A group of bikers caught the
attention of passersby and commandeered a part of the Gulf
Mart Sunday afternoon. They all wore some fashion of the Masonic
symbol, and one, who displayed a "Chaplain's" badge said it was
so. "What does "Widows Sons mean," asked the reporter. The chaplain said it was a Masonic acronym. "Meaning what?" asked the reporter. "I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you," joked the chaplain. Then they all drove off, revealing nothing. |

Elizabeth E. Whittemore (Liz), 92
Elizabeth E. Whittemore (Liz) died peacefully on Sunday, April 19, 2015 at Marlborough Hospital in Marlborough, Massachusetts following a decline from pneumonia. She was 92. Liz Whittemore was born on August 18, 1922, in East Orange, New Jersey, the daughter of Edgar Albert Eschmann and Mildred May (O’Brien) Eschmann. She was married to the Very Reverend H. Lawrence Whittemore, Jr. (Larry).She grew up in Elizabeth, New Jersey and New York City, and attended Saint Mary’s School for Girls in Peekskill, NY. She worked as a medical secretary at New York Hospital prior to her marriage to Larry in 1951. Thus began a lifelong partnership raising children, building friendships and serving the communities where they lived: Swarthmore, Pennsylvania; Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts; and Landgrove, Middlebury, and Manchester, Vermont. Most recently, she resided at Whitney Place in Northborough, Massachusetts. Liz died a bit over 4 years after Larry’s death. She was very well cared for by the staff at Whitney Place, where she lived independently and, later, in a memory care unit. She was plucky to the very end of her life, and maintained great poise and dignity, despite struggles with Alzheimer’s. Liz, indeed a bit of a character, possessed a wonderful – sometimes zany and always playful – sense of humor and a very quick wit. She had a strong sense of family with whom she loved to celebrate birthdays (it pays to advertise!) and all the holidays. Liz was the family genealogist and also a gifted artist, especially in needlepoint and decoupage. She loved to cook and especially enjoyed making rambunctious treats with her grandchildren. She is survived by her two children – Elizabeth B. (Lisa) Whittemore and her spouse, Cynthia Esthimer, of Hopkinton, Massachusetts, Henry L. Whittemore and his wife, Darcy, of Readfield, Maine, by two grandchildren, Katherine P. Whittemore of Portland, Maine and Samuel T. Whittemore of Los Angeles, California, and by her brother-in-law Charles P. Whittemore and his wife, Cecile Brown Whittemore, of Salisbury, Connecticut. She has numerous first cousins on the O’Brien side of her family. Liz’s children would like to express gratitude to friends and relatives and to the staff of Whitney Place for the love and support they gave them and their mother. A celebration of her life will be held at the Landgrove Community Church in Landgrove, Vermont on Tuesday, August 4, 2015 at 11:00 AM. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Episcopal Relief & Development, 815 Second Avenue, New York, NY 10017 – www.er-d.org or to: Second Chance Animal Shelter, Shaftsbury, Vermont – http://www.2ndchanceanimalcenter.org/dogs.html. |

 DEATH!May 15, 2015— The jury deliberating the fate
of convicted marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev voted unanimously
to send the young man accused of having a part in the deaths of
four people and the injuries of hundreds of others to his death
for his crimes. Because Tsarnaev was tried in federal court, the ban on the death penalty for convictions in Massachusetts courts does not prevail. Tsarnaev's attorneys will now move through an automatic appeal process, and have several other avenues open to them. CBSNEWS has a perspective on the lack of remorse displayed to the jury. |

Watch Your Height! Above: A few weeks ago the driver of this box truck watched with his head out the window while driving the entire way under the bridge to be sure his 11' 6" tall vehicle would fit under the 11' 0" height-restricted railroad bridge just over the Southborough line on Route 85. It becomes more relevant and apropos with today's announcement, below.
May 12, 2015—The Department of Conservation and Recreation, Department of Transportation, and the Massachusetts State Police remind the public that many bridges and overpasses along the Charles River roads have height restrictions, most of them at or around 10 feet.
Motorists driving trucks, including box and rental trucks, are urged to check the height restrictions along their planned route and make route adjustments as necessary. Specifically, truck drivers on Storrow Drive, Soldiers Field Road, and Memorial Drive are urged to pay attention to all relevant signs regarding bridge height.
This precaution is especially relevant in Spring, when Boston’s many college students are moving out of their school-year living quarters, and in the Fall, when they move back in. We thank motorists in advance for their cooperation. |

Laura Hanson Parks and Rec Candidate Statement
My name is Laura Hanson and I am a candidate for the Parks and Rec department.
I have lived in Hopkinton for 16 years, and although this is my first foray into any kind of public office, I have been involved with the town since I moved here. I graduated from Colgate University, where I was captain of the Women’s Rugby team and a head Instructor for the Outdoor Rec department. I was a Special Ed Instructor, and I ran the Infant Daycare at Lovelace Hospital in Albuquerque, NM. I enjoy working with kids and parents to provide the best experience for both. I am a mother of three kids, and I love volunteering in their classes. I always tried for room parent (though the competition is fierce!) and truly enjoyed being a part of their learning experience. I have been involved in Scouting for thirteen years; as a Cub Scout den leader, a Girl Scout troop leader and a Scout committee member. I have been committed to Scouting For Food as a town wide committee member and a unit coordinator for both Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts. I am a certified CPR instructor, and I support the continuing education programs Parks and Rec has to offer. I have been a strong supporter of Project Just Because, Baypath Humane Society and Serenity House, all wonderful organizations which our community benefits from. It is so gratifying to see our town work to give back, and to help those who are struggling. In many of the activities my family and I have participated in, Parks and Rec has played a key part. They have provided space for sports and outdoor activities, and for continued education. I believe that -Hopkinton is a wonderful community that gives back to its children and its citizens, and I see the Parks and Rec department as an excellent resource offering opportunities for growth and development for Hopkinton citizens of all ages. I work hard to get things done, and I consider every side of a situation. As I am a newcomer to politics, I hope to bring a fresh and open-minded approach. My children are still in the school system, so I am available and actively involved on a daily basis. I like to work with people, and I like to get things accomplished. I believe that by working together we can offer programs and opportunities that benefit all residents of the community, while still being fiscally responsible. I would be honored to be a member of the Hopkinton Parks and Recreation Commission, and I promise to do all I can to help this department serve the community in the most efficient and effective way possible. Thank you for giving me this chance and your vote! Laura Hanson 19 N. Mill St May 1, 2015 https://www.facebook.com/pages/Laura-Hanson-for-Parks-and-Rec/891350630888123?fref=nf |

Boston-
Monday, May 18, 2015- With the summer season quickly
approaching, the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and
Recreation is currently seeking certified lifeguards and head
lifeguards to serve at the agency’s many pools and inland and
ocean beaches across the Commonwealth.
May
16, 2015—At 6:23 p.m. last evening, the State Police Barracks in
Yarmouth received a call from a concerned mother. The woman
informed Trooper Jeffrey McCarthy that her daughter, a high
school student at the Cape Cod Regional Technical High School in
Harwich, had called her from the bus she was on. She went on to
explain that her daughter would be getting off the bus at the
next stop because she felt the bus driver was operating in an
unsafe manner. Trooper McCarthy, the desk officer, immediately
put the information out to State Police patrols and the
Barnstable Police Department. The bus was located by Trooper
Seth Peterson in the Burger King Parking Lot on Route 6
westbound. Trooper Peterson stopped the bus, which still
contained 5 student passengers, before it could reenter Route 6.
BOSTON

Recreation (DCR) Commissioner Carol Sanchez announced today that
$65,542.00 has been made available in the 2015 Volunteer Fire

contemplates the classification of the construction, and
determines whether the project will need relief from wetlands
buffers in the form of variances, according to Conservation
Administrator Don MacAdam.
