Wine and Malt License Applicant Will Not Appeal
"I live here [Hopkinton]." ~ Samir Patel May 28, 2015—In a short telephone interview Wednesday evening, Samir Patel, who was denied a beer and wine retail license for a proposed market at 89 West Main Street (former Golden Spoon), said he was not planning on appealing the denial of his application. Although the lack of action by selectmen on the request last Tuesday was not an outright denial, the lack of approval was a de facto denial.
"It's not worth it. It's not that big of a business," he replied. Mr. Patel said they will not be moving forward with the grocery store, because their model works with groceries as well as beer and wine. They have two other locations.
"I live here. I am not going to go against the town," he said. More than one selectman, during the public hearing on the license, expressed displeasure with the location.
"We'd like to find out what other location might be suitable for the town," he said. |

Milford Regional Receives
Recognition MILFORD – May 27, 2015 - Milford Regional Medical Center has received international recognition for its lactation program and the highly-trained team of maternity nurses that help protect, promote and support breastfeeding.
Milford Regional received the International Board Certified Lactation Consultant® Care Award from the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners ®(IBLCE®) and the International Lactation Consultant Association® (ICLA®). The award recognizes Milford Regional for its seven maternity nurses who hold the International Board Certified Lactation Consultants® certification (IBCLC®), as well as the lactation program offered on a nearly daily basis for breast-feeding families. There are currently 27,450 IBCLC professionals in 101 countries.
“This award speaks volumes about our team of lactation consultants who are dedicated to the patients who choose to breastfeed. These nurses also educate and support those patients - both on an inpatient and outpatient basis - to help them achieve that goal,” said Rose Galimi-Hayes, director of maternity and pediatrics at Milford Regional.
The IBCLC is the leading internationally recognized lactation certification in the world. Certified professionals are highly skilled in helping breastfeeding mothers, and they work with mothers during pregnancy to help successfully initiate breastfeeding. After the child is born, the certified nurses continue to help mothers overcome breastfeeding challenges, and continue to inform and support them as their baby grows. In addition, they assist mothers returning to work or school; help mothers in more unusual situations such as breastfeeding more than one baby at a time, or nursing a sick or premature infant; and help train the nursing staff to manage basic breastfeeding care.
The maternity department supported a lactation consultant student whose work and experience with the Milford-based team and patients not only helped her receive her certification, but gained the hospital international recognition. “Facilities that receive the IBCLC Care Award are to be commended for improving maternal and child health by making breastfeeding a priority and for taking steps to improve breastfeed support,” said Tomoko Seo, chair of the IBLCE. “An important part of providing excellent breastfeeding care is having expert assistance available when the breastfeeding couple needs it.”With breastfeeding rates on the rise, there is also a need for trained lactation professionals.
“Breastfeeding is natural and often works quite well without intervention, but there can be complications or risk factors and mothers may need extra support,” said Decalie Brown, president of ICLA. “This recognition highlights the efforts being made by maternity facilities all across the world to help mothers get off to a good start with breastfeeding and to support them in reaching their goals.” |

No Spoon, No Cry
May 21, 2015—The former Golden Spoon property is coming into its own, with the Starbucks exterior ready for a finishing touch. Its unique brand of sharp coffee taste and iconic new-age style of presentation will make it stand out among the Dunkin' Donuts across the street a stone's-throw away. and the Cumberland Farms Gulf Mart, closer than a stones-throw, with its 99-cent all-sizes coffee and expanded ready-to-eat foods. The steel skeleton in the background appears smaller than it is due to the use of a wide-angle 17mm lens, which pushes background objects more to the rear. That building will house a Unibank, and perhaps a grocery store, if the applicants are moving forward without the beer and wine license they wanted but were denied. The Golden Spoon will, if all goes as planned, be reopening across Lumber Street when Paul Mastroianni expands his strip mall. |

Rural Feel May 21, 2015—One of the most valued features of Hopkinton, according to a survey done a few years ago, was the "rural feel," as we see above in Woodville. The purpose of the animals moving toward the camera might be misconstrued as wanting to have their photo taken, or just curious about the human at the fence. But the most likely reason for their moving toward the human is that they equate humans with food. They received some tall sweet grass as a reward for their visit. |
