Part of the 300th
Anniversary Celebration Lumberjack/Woodsman Show October 18, 2015 at Noon Field # 12, Loop Road 
Above., a trophy awaits a winner and a nameplate. The "H" is finished from an American Chestnut, a tough New England hardwood tree that fell victim to a blight that killed an estimated three billion of them beginning in 1904.
September 1, 2015 — On
October 18, 2015 at noon, The Friends of
Hopkinton 300th Committee will be hosting a
competitive Lumberjack Demonstration and contest at
field #12 off the loop road. The first hour will be
dedicated to showing the various tools that men
working in the woods would have used to ply their
trade, such as axes, cross-cut saws, bow-saws, and
peaveys. The men and women in this show
travel all of New England, Canada, and as far south
as Virginia to participate in contests and take home
some prize money. The rest of the show will focus
on you, the people of Hopkinton - your participation
will be encouraged (with some help from us) in
events such as men and Young people are not to be left
out; log-rolling for boys and girls 8-10 years old;
and disk-stacking for boys and girls, 8 years and
under.. Trophies will be awarded to 1st
place finishers only. Hopkinton residents will have
unique awards that are hand-made from storm damaged
trees taken here in town. Non-residents are
encouraged to try their luck (bring your out-of-town
friends) they will win more traditional 1st place
trophies. On a personal note, I have been
involved with this sport for 50 years, beginning in
college as part of a 6-man team. After school, I
discovered there were competitions at various
locations during the summer and fall Fair season,
Many of the friends I made back then are still
competing (thank you master's classes), putting on
contests, announcing, and head judging. It is a
sport that never let's go of you. I hope you will
come to our show, and allow us to share our love of
this unique competition. For more information and
possible practice times for these events, feel free
to call us at 508-435-4976. |

Where's Waldo August 30, 2015 - We don't know where Waldo is, but we can see the Snappy Dogs trailer as well as Teresa's familiar black Honda pickup behind it. Snappy Dogs/Kenny Chesney fan Renee Bond took this photo of the Snappy Dog trailer in Kenny Chesney's backstage compound from one of the Gillette Stadium ramps. Chesney was shooting hoops next to Snappy Dogs just before this photo was taken, we are told. For those late to the story, Snappy Dogs was chosen to feed the hot dog cravings of the Chesney entourage during their Gillette Stadium performances. |

Ripple Effect
August 26, 2015 - Vehicles were backed up on Cedar Street from the lights at Main all the way to Hopkinton State Park headquarters this afternoon. Some of the vehicles will want to turn right onto Main Street, but the storage lane for a right turn is difficult to reach because of the bottleneck at the Post Office, where a huge sidewalk to nowhere blocks the path where a lane needs to go. In fact, in the overhead view below, the sidewalk is clearly the width of a driving lane. And before the sidewalk was built as a part of the Post Office renovation, the space was a soft shoulder that was used as a travel lane to get to the storage lane at the lights, which made the backup less severe. The worst part of this situation is that none of the plans currently showing the remaking of the Downtown have taken this need into consideration. None!

The All New and Improved Town Talk Please register and post your opinions, etc.
August 25, 2015 - The HopNews "Town Talk," our fabled discussion page, has gone through several iterations over the years. In the olden days, for the geeks reading, it was housed on a Windows, as opposed to a Linux, server, which had a propriety way of allowing communication between the user and the website. The replies to posts were indented under the one before, constructing a chronological cascade of titles. Another feature was the automatic posting of the IP address of the individual posting, as well as a screen name of their choosing, which was usually a pen name.
If the poster had something nasty to say, it was often an inspiration to myself and others to look up the IP and see where they were posting from, which sometimes inferred their identity. Most people posting from home only had a dynamic IP that linked to a major hosting company, like Comcast or Verizon. But some had vanity IP addresses, which revealed the company, facility, school, or government building they were posting from. An individual no longer with the town used the initials of his title for his screen name, and then railed against the school department, and at the same time revealed requests that he made of the school department office for specific documents. Was that super-smart, or was that the opposite of smart?
There were the Obama-haters, who cited specific examples of the ACA that called for death squads, examples that were apparently fabricated. And we know that George Bush caused all of our financial problems, as some others would tell it.
One or more posters, one or more who are sadly no longer with us, ascribed nefarious motives to my every move, and even went so far as to document interactions I supposedly had with posters in real life, even told people how I felt, and what I was thinking. It often took a vigilant eye to keep up with being able to delete the posts fast enough all day, each day. You see, although the Windows Server claimed to have built-in security features that could ban misbehaving users, we could never get them to work. Some of the posts were downright creepy, stalking type of creepy.
Another one told me on more than one occasion that he saw me at the Sunday concert, and detailed my behavior. He told me that again, but refused to identify himself. Creepy.
An anonymous poster detailed a car chase I had with his friend, another anonymous, but very prolific poster, with whom I was allegedly trying to catch up in my vehicle. He was supposedly very scared, because there was "no telling" what I would do. "He's a good man," he said of my allegedly intended victim, who terrorized me verbally every day on the discussion page. How did I know he was the anonymous poster all of a sudden? There is a simple explanation. As most people know, I am inclined to read the minds of people in passing cars who disagree with me, do a spinning, screeching U-turn, chase them down, drag them out of their vehicles, beat them to a bloody pulp in front of their cowering and frightened loved ones, and then scream maniacally to the heavens, "That was easy," followed by a heaving, hearty laugh. Right.
The Windows server has been gone for a while now. PHP has been the choice of the market for interactive website features for a few years, and so we use it again on this new page, which will look familiar to many people who used the most recent one. When we moved the websites to a new server a few months ago, we lost the database with the hundreds of registered users, as well as the hundreds of posts that had been read thousands of times each. And people have been asking us to put it up again, which Eric did yesterday. But we are still working out the kinks; kindly bear with us.
So, please sign up to be able to post. The bar for veracity is not the strict rule we use on the front of HopNews, but we (the editorial "we") prefer that defamatory things are not said about people; as well as an individual's low esteem of someone else should be kept to themselves, which was not always the case before.
Let' have fun with the New and Improved Town Talk. BTW, the new page does not know your IP, and does not detail any private information.
NOTE: People who violate normal decorum can be banned with this system. |
