Hopkinton Drug Fights Back

Owner Dennis Katz answers MWDN Editorial

 

To the Editor [Of MetroWest Daily News]:

Your editorial regarding CVS presumes that CVS competes fairly. In fact, CVS does not do so. CVS has unlawfully colluded with its affiliate Caremark, a pharmacy benefit manager that represents about 30% of all prescription insurance plans nationwide to pressure and coerce independent pharmacies such as Hopkinton Drug. Caremark attempted to terminate Hopkinton Drug from its network, which would have resulted in a loss of approximately 30% of our business, threatening to put Hopkinton Drug out of business. Hopkinton Drug was forced to file an action in U.S. District Court, and following an evidentiary hearing, Judge William Young issued a preliminary injunction in our favor to prevent the termination. Judge Young was so concerned about the collusive efforts of CVS and Caremark that he took it upon himself to submit a letter to the Federal Trade Commission about CVS/Caremark's behavior. Caremark subsequently filed a complaint against Hopkinton Drug with the Massachusetts Board of Pharmacy, only to have the complaint dismissed, with one of the members of the Board of Pharmacy expressing concerns about Caremark's motivation in making the filing. All the while that Caremark is on a national attack against independents pharmacies, it has never taken action to terminate a CVS pharmacy from its network, notwithstanding that CVS pharmacies have been found to perpetrate egregious violations of state and federal laws and regulations. And continues to do so.

Furthermore, the editorial would lead you to believe that the "No CVS" movement in Hopkinton is just wild hoopla fueled by an incestuous relationship between Hopkinton Drug and the town’s leaders. The writer is attempting to influence readers to believe that this battle is for Hopkinton Drug. This is not a true representation of the collective fight against a CVS coming to Hopkinton. In fact, the thousands of “No CVS” supporters are real people of the community who do not want a big box store as the centerpiece of downtown Hopkinton and want to continue to revitalize the downtown with small businesses. Hopkinton Drug has never spoken to any town leaders about CVS, and we had no involvement in starting the "No CVS" movement. Hopkinton Drug welcomes open and fair competition. CVS and Caremark do not compete fairly.

As a small community, Hopkinton residents are concerned about becoming a part of the homogenization of America, where you can drive through almost any town and see the same big box stores over and over again threatening diversity and competition. There are more than 20 CVS pharmacies in a 4-10 mile radius of Hopkinton. Do we really need another?

We invite CVS and Crosspoint Associates to do the right thing and hear the will of the people.


Sincerely yours,

Dennis Katz, RPh
President, Hopkinton Drug

OVER $140K Raised at12th ANNUAL SHARON TIMLIN MEMORIAL EVENT TO CURE ALS

Dear Editor,
On behalf of the Sharon Timlin Memorial Event Committee, and the Hopkinton Running Club we would like to thank everyone that supported us at the 12th Annual Sharon Timlin Memorial 5K Race and Family Fun Day. The enthusiasm, generosity and spirit of the day were amazing. The town of Hopkinton has embraced this event and has shown us what a philanthropic and cohesive community we live in. It was bittersweet as we remembered those who are no longer with us, but also celebrated everyone that was present and that we are hopeful for a cure for ALS. Mike Timlin and his family joined us and as Mike and Dawn Timlin said, “We are so grateful that the town of Hopkinton has embraced this cause.” The family fun day field was full of smiling faces and it looked like everyone was having an exceptional day, enjoying the games, crafts, raffles, food, band etc…

 

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.


Thank you to the 250 plus volunteers that came and volunteered their time at the event. A specific thank you to the Ignite Leaders of Hopkinton middle school who all volunteered along with our many other student and adult volunteers. Also a special thank you to Girl Scout troop72964 who volunteered their time.

 

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.


Also, a huge thank you to all of the participants in the Angel Challenge Sponsorship Program and to all of the families that shared their stories in The Many Faces of ALS program (Please see web site to view their courageous and touching stories. www.sharontimlinrace.org/  ). They are a poignant reminder to all of us as to why we are working so hard.

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!
Thank you again,
Abbie Rosenberg and Dave Krueger, Event Directors
Committee Chairs : Colleen Allen, Stephanie Whelan, Dawn Mercier, Kara Dion, Kathy Younis, Gail Welsh, April Galaneck, , Marc Salois, Tracy Logan, Diane Kosheff, Hannah Krueger, Lee Schortmann, Maureen Holmes, Kevin Murphy, Lisa English, Maureen and Bill Allen, Michelle Kinsella, Maureen and Keiron Tumbleton.

Dave McGillivray to Push Rick Hoyt of Team Hoyt for Harvard Pilgrim Finish at the 50 10K on July 3 at Gillette Stadium

Renowned race director will fill in for Dick Hoyt, who has completed more than 1,000 endurance events while pushing his son in a specialized wheelchair

BOSTON (June 29, 2015) -- Dave McGillivray, the race director of the B.A.A. Boston Marathon (Far right in photo), will push Rick Hoyt of Team Hoyt in the upcoming Harvard Pilgrim Finish at the 50 10K at Gillette Stadium on July 3.

McGillivray is filling in for Rick’s father, Dick, who cannot make the event. Dick and his son, while seated in a specialized wheelchair, have completed more than 1,000 road races, marathons and triathlons together since 1977.

“I am honored that Dave accepted our invitation to push Rick in the Harvard Finish at the 50 10K,” Dick Hoyt said. “I know Rick is very excited to be doing this race event with Dave, who is a great friend and supporter of Rick and me. I know they will have a lot of fun together.”

The moving story of Team Hoyt has inspired millions, including McGillivray, who on Friday will be just the second person besides Dick to complete a race while pushing Rick, who was born a spastic quadriplegic with cerebral palsy.

“Kiddingly, I always thought Dick Hoyt had it easy, thinking he had a unique advantage since he had his “secret weapon” and inspiration, Rick, right in front of him every step of the way,” McGillivray said. “Now I am about to eat my words as I am sure pushing Rick won’t be easy. I won’t be setting a 10K personal best but it sure will be a thrill of a lifetime.”

McGillivray has known and been associated with the Hoyts for almost 30 years.

“I always wondered what it would be like to push Rick in a race myself and now I am about to find out,” he added. “I think I will purposely run my slowest 10K ever because I want this experience to last as long as possible. I am truly honored to be only the second person besides Dick to ever push Rick in a race. Rick and I have a lot of catching up to do so we’ll have a fun time out there. And then to finish at the 50-yard line in Gillette Stadium with him, well, it just doesn’t get any better than that.”

The Harvard Pilgrim Finish at the 50 10K begins at Patriot Place and will take runners through Foxborough before returning to finish inside Gillette Stadium at midfield. The 10K begins at 7 p.m. on Friday (July 3).

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.

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.

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.

“This beautiful wreath is a symbol of the universal values of democracy, peace and perseverance,” said Senator Spilka. “I am incredibly proud of Hopkinton’s sister city relationship with Marathon, Greece. I’m honored to display our strong connections and commitment to the Marathon tradition in the State House, a true living museum.”

The wreath is hand-crafted from olive trees in Marathon, Greece, Hopkinton’s sister city. Gold, silver and bronze wreathes from Marathon are donated to the winners of marathons across the world each year.
