OVER $140K Raised at12th ANNUAL SHARON TIMLIN MEMORIAL EVENT TO CURE ALS Dear Editor,
Congratulations to all the athletes that participated in the event. We had runners and walkers of all ages that completed the kids’ 1 mile race and the 5K.
A very warm thank you to the Hopkinton Public Schools, and all the teachers that participated in the dunk tank, the Hopkinton Police Department, the Hopkinton Fire Department and the Board of Selectman for donating their time and supporting our efforts to such a great extent. Thank you to all of our business sponsors. All money raised will go directly to the Angel Fund, a non-profit organization dedicated to finding a cure for ALS and supporting the medical research of Dr. Robert Brown and his colleagues at UMASS Medical School. We are still receiving donations, but the preliminary numbers indicate that we will be donating over $140,000 toward ALS research.
Again, thank you so much to all
involved in making this event such a huge success. You
are all helping us to take action against this cruel
disease, and we absolutely believe that our dollars are
making a huge difference in the exploration of a cure!

Seriously! June 29, 2015—Your parents paid for your driver education classes (we hope), perhaps skid school, too, you just got your drivers license, they entrusted you with this pretty new smoked-windows Honda, and after all that, did you decide this law isn't meant or you? A carload of teens in a Volvo also came out the wrong way 5 minutes before you, but the photographer's camera was packed away at that time. The diamond shapes are light refraction from the flash, and not part of the vehicle. Please choose one of the reasons below for violating the law:
I came down the wrong way on the one-way street, because: 1.) Despite the two huge signs, one on each side of the road, as well as the one-way arrow that I faced when I pulled out of the rear lot, I had no idea it was a one-way. 2.) The smoked glass obscured my view. 3.) The other way takes too long. 4.) My dad did it, too. 5.) I'm not from around here. 6.) I was wearing my seat belt and not texting. Doesn't that count for anything? 7.) I am in a Honda, which is replete with crumple-zones and internal devices to absorb impact, so if I am hit head-on by someone who takes the corner driving the correct way down Walcott Street, let's hope they are in a Honda, too. Or a Mercedes. And not a bicycle. Or a skateboard. Or a stroller. 8.) I missed that class. 9.) It's only a $50 fine. 10.) I didn't know about the surcharge. 11.) It wasn't me. |

Plane Crash in Plainville Kills Three
PLAINVILLE, MASS - June 28, 2015 — At approximately 6 p.m. a small plane crashed into a residence at 25 Bridle Path in Plainville. As a result of the plane crash the house immediately caught fire. The four occupants of the single family home were able to get out of the building before it became fully engulfed in flames. The three occupants of the plane were killed in the crash. Their identities are not being released pending notification of next of kin. Troopers from the State Police Barracks in Foxboro responded to the scene with the Plainville Police and Fire Departments. The Plainville Fire Department extinguished the blaze at approximately 8:05 p.m. Investigators from the NTSB and FAA have been dispatched to the location. Troopers from the Norfolk County State Police Detective Unit, the State Police Crime Scene Services Unit, the State Fire Marshall’s Office, the Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section and the Troop H Headquarters also responded to the scene to assist in the investigation.

Freeze-frame
June 28, 2015—There has been some pretty good luck of late (knock on wood) in keeping a signal so the web cam remains connected. For longer than we would like to remember, Comcast had a problem with noise on their network that bumped our webcam offline between one and 24 times a day. Web surfing or movie watching (Not that anyone watches movies while working) apparently does not require the stricter standards of a lower packet loss of a web cam. Anyway, we know people look more frequently in inclement weather, or events Downtown, and today is one of those days. |

Stone Beach
June 28, 2015—This turtle didn't need sand to sun yesterday like people do, but was quite content to use this rock at the pond at Legacy Farms. The specks on its back are neither painted nor embedded on the critter. They are bits of moss from the surface of the pond. It appears to be a common sun turtle. However, the once-endangered spotted turtle (not above) was blamed for the scuttling of a planned world-class country club before the town owned the Fruit Street property. In fact, it was speculated, perhaps in jest, that opponents of the use of the property painted spots on turtles and planted them there. A mischievous and widely renown Hopkinton artist, the late Davison Welch, when restoring the mural at the Woodville Road and Gun Club in 2004, painted a spotted turtle onto the background, memorializing the event as well as his sense of humor and firm grip on the pulse of the community. |

And the Winner Is... June 27, 2015—Ryan Struzik was the first to correctly note the location of our most recent "Location Challenge" (thumbnail) and the first to send a photo of the location. Now, the rule was a "new photo," which his is clearly not, nor did he claim it to be. However, he came up with a photo of himself at the location and we'll make a new rule and give him a total of $50 instead of the $75, and only because no one else has sent one that conformed, although we waited an entire day. We hope that is fair. By the way, it is the dam at the Blackstone Gorge. |

My Bad! by Robert Falcione June 26, 2015—Jeff Gulko does not have a PR firm of his own representing Crosspoint Associates. Yes, I did state that in a previous story on this page, but the information I got was not correct. It was a simple error of communication. And besides, it was not said in a pejorative way. Mr. Gulko works for Nickerson PR, information that I got, in the parlance of our time, straight from the horse's mouth earlier this evening. Nickerson PR is the firm that helped in the successful campaign to change the zoning for Legacy Farms to accommodate 180 age-restricted residences; and they now represent Crosspoint Associates, the new owners of the former Colella's Supermarket property. Crosspoint and CVS have agreed to a long-term lease, they have both said. HopNews appreciates any corrections people send our way to Editor@HopNews.com . |
