It's a CVS! Colella's former space to be leased to CVS
June
3, 2015 —Space for the former Colella's Supermarket
has been leased by the new owners, Crosspoint
Associates, a real estate development company, to
CVS, a rumor confirmed by the Planning Department
this morning.
The property, which was sold for $3.3 million in March of this year, will house a liquor store on the northwestern corner of the building, and the remainder will be leased by CVS [Consumer Value Stores], which offers drugs, household items, cards, gifts and photo products.
According to Cobie Wallace of the Planning Department, Crosspoint has submitted a fit-out plan, which means they will be using the existing floor space, and not expanding the exterior walls. There will not be a drive-thru, she said. Not yet, she added.
More on this story in a bit. |

Achievers June 2, 2015—Scouts, from left, Rachel Cronin, Margaret Burke, Mady Eori, Daron Arakelian and Sean Kelly stand with Selectman John Mosher, Vice-Chair John Coutinho, Chairman Ben Palleiko and Selectman Todd Cestari last night after receiving their congratulatory proclamations and explaining to the board how each achieved, Eagle Scout for the boys, and Gold Award for the girls. It was the first time in 7 years that a girl had achieved the award, said one leader. Rachel Cronin earned her award by creating a recreation area at West Hill Dam for young children that would be away from the water so that parents would be less anxious when visiting the play area. Margaret created a wellness program for youngsters at the Hopkins School that emphasized healthy eating, exercise, good mental health and education. She said she impressed upon the children that "Fitness can be fun." Mady Eori practiced her wildlife conservation by helping create signage educating people of the plight of sea turtles who go into "cold shock" and coordinating with Mass Audubon, which usually receives 100 turtles rescued in the season. They told her that this year the number was 1,200. Daron Arakelian, whose father is a 30-year veteran of the Air Force, reached out to the local veterans' agent to see how he could help. Daron mapped out the locations of all the veterans in the cemeteries in Hopkinton. Daron will be attending the Air Force Academy. Sean Kelly constructed a stone fire pit at St. John the Evangelist Church with the help of a local artisan, as well as fellow scouts. When Selectman Todd Cestari asked how he got the scouts to help, he answered with one word. "Doughnuts." |

for the Foundation. “We are excited to be working with
all the recipients this year and look forward to seeing
how these grants impact the student population this year
and beyond.” The grants made for the
2015-2016 school year are: ‘Integrating the Maker
Mindset’: This $3,590 grant to
Stephanie Doty, Hopkins’ Technology Integration teacher,

Curriculum through Interactive Experience at the High
School’: This $3,775 grant to the

use this classroom design as an incubator for a more
innovative and collaborative approach to classroom
design through the Hopkinton School system. About the Hopkinton

$11,000 Raised at Hopkinton Public Library Foundation’s Fourth
Annual Touch-A-Truck and
Food Truck Festival June 2, 2015—The weather did not put a damper on attendance at last weekend’s fun filled fundraiser! Well over 1000 children and their families braved the rain to attend Hopkinton Public Library Foundation’s Fourth Annual Touch-A-Truck and Food Truck Festival on Sunday, May 31, 2015. The event, held at Hopkinton High School, raised $11,000 for the restoration, renovation and expansion of Hopkinton Public Library. Children climbed in the driver’s seats and honked the horns of over 50 trucks, cars, construction, military, emergency and other vehicles. Families enjoyed tasty treats from local food trucks. Many took a ride on the Roaming Railroad, got their faces painted, made a craft with the Hopkinton Center for the Arts, and visited with Queen Elsa. Touch-A-Truck was generously
sponsored by many local businesses and more who added to
the festivities as vendors. Hopkinton Public Library Foundation wishes to thank all the local businesses who made Touch-A-Truck a huge success by donating their time and trucks, as well as the incredible number of families who attended Touch-A-Truck. Special thanks to the numerous Hopkinton High School students and others who volunteered at the event.

Trooper Copponi Delivers Baby Boy on Massachusetts Turnpike
May 30, 2015—This evening at approximately 7:53 p.m., a call was received from a 32-year-old Fitchburg woman who had just pulled over on the Massachusetts Turnpike, Interstate 90 Eastbound in Framingham near the 114 mile marker. The woman was reporting that she was in labor.
State Police Weston Barracks dispatched Troopers Paul Copponi, Daniel Mahoney, and Framingham Fire/EMS Department to the scene. When Trooper Copponi arrived, he found the woman in the driver’s seat, car still in drive, as the woman was breathing heavily. Trooper Copponi also observed three other children in the vehicle. Trooper Copponi reached in and placed the vehicle in park, as the woman stated, “Help me.”
Trooper Copponi spoke to the woman and calmed her, reassuring her that she was safe and EMS was on the way. At this point, the baby began to crown. Trooper Copponi continued to reassure the woman, as he cradled the baby’s head. Trooper Daniel Mahoney arrived and took care of the three young children passengers.
While Trooper Copponi supported the baby as it was being delivered, Framingham Fire/EMS arrived on the scene. The newborn baby boy was born moments later. A member of Framingham EMS cut the umbilical cord and quickly boarded the baby into the ambulance. The other EMS personnel secured the new mother and also boarded her into the ambulance. Trooper Daniel Mahoney along with the other Fire/EMS personnel put the three other children in the ambulance to be transported with the mother and baby.
They were all transported to Metro West Framingham Hospital.
Excellent work by all involved. |

Another Mouse-over image for blur May 30, 2015—The main image above was photographed with the shutter speed of 1/25 of a second, which allowed the iris to be stopped down to f 32, which allows for a long depth of field. Mouse-over the image for a blurred image taken afterward with a shutter speed of 1/4000 of a second, and a wide aperture of f 6.3. Keep in mind, a smaller numbered aperture — which is actually the larger lens opening, provides the most shallow depth of field and the larger f-number provides the smallest lens opening and the longer depth of field. The longer depth of field allows for a crisper, more accurate view of everything the camera sees. However, a shallow depth of field isolates the subject in the focused upon, giving it greater importance in the image. |

Roof Problems... Again!
May 29, 2015—PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT Town Hall To all Residents and Visitors: Please note that caution tape will be installed in front of Town Hall to cordon off an area as a precautionary public safety measure. A piece of slate roof tile was found to have dislodged or broke this week and came down between the building and the landscaped area. As a precaution, the Town will cordon off an area in front of Town Hall for the time being. Since the Town Hall Slate Roof Replacement Project was completed in October 2014 there have been no issues with slate tiles coming off the roof until the one tile was found this week. Nevertheless, the Town is taking all precautions in this matter until an inspection can be scheduled and completed. There are no concerns with using the entrances to Town Hall. This area will be cordoned off until the inspection is completed and a repair can be made. Hopefully both will be completed within a week. Sincerely, David T. Daltorio, P.E. Town Engineer |

The male builds the nest to be attractive to a female, she deposits her eggs, he fertilizes them, and then guards them for the duration, eating some of the eggs himself for sustenance, because he will not leave the nest, according to Perdue News.

Mr. Bruschi retired from football in 2009 after suffering a stroke 2005 and returning to play several successful seasons following a period of rehabilitation. Following his recovery, Mr. Bruschi formed Tedy's Team, a charitable group that runs the Boston Marathon to raise money for the American Stroke Association.

State Representative Carolyn Dykema was on hand to present Chief Clark with a proclamation from the State House. Below, one hour earlier, Chief Clark watches a storm approach on satellite radar at the mobile command center on Granite Street, while he manages fire fighting efforts against a two-acre brush fire in the woods near Echo Lake. The Highway Department was activated to remove some large obstructions blocking an access fire road. The lake is the property of the Milford Water Company and as such, the area around it has prohibitions on usage and access. Chief Clark said that although the fire was only a couple of acres in area, the ground had not burned for a long time, and so it was like a fuel, like peat, that ran several inches deep. When asked, because of the large amount of fires in that area, if he thought there might be a (fire) bug operating in the area, he replied that it would be difficult to believe they all started naturally.

Heather's Ride 2015
For
the last five years family, friends and total strangers
have gathered in Meredith New Hampshire for the Annual
Heather Lynne Siebert Memorial Ride. On July 11, 2015,
it will be no different. So join our family of friends
and neighbors for the 6th Annual Heather Lynne Siebert
Memorial Ride. Heather’s Ride has focused its
efforts to raise money for the patients and families who
are affected by lengthy hospital stays. Paying for most
any necessity that insurance will not. When parents stay
with their children, they are able to advocate for their
care, and help them recover faster. But it is expensive.
Lost wages, fuel, food and lodging are just a sample of
the costs associated with these lengthy hospital stays.
