Green, Green Grass
of Home December 12, 2015 — The level of Lake Maspenock has been lowered 7-8 feet below the high water mark in order to facilitate an anticipated frost to kill the roots of invasive weeds, but the frost has yet to materialize. After the frost does its job, or the calendar reaches January 15, 2016, with or without the kill, the lake level will be raised another 3-4 feet. As it is now, the warm temperatures and sunlight appear to be having the opposite effect. |

Photo of team of K-9 units and others before sweep of Hopkinton High School Yesterday
Dear Parents, This morning, contraband seeking dogs did a sweep of areas of the Hopkinton High School building looking for illegal substances. Multiple K-9 units from the Middlesex county sheriff’s department were involved. The search included approximately 15 classrooms, the library, locker rooms, bathrooms and parking lots. Class remained in session and teaching activities continued during the approximately 45 minutes while the search was taking place. The sweep was conducted in a quiet and professional manner. At no time were students placed in an unsafe situation and at no point did the dogs interact with any students during the search. This sweep is a part of our on-going efforts to keep Hopkinton High School safe and drug free. If you have any questions or concerns about this search, please don’t hesitate to contact my office. Sincerely,
Evan Bishop December 11, 2015 |

Teachers Association Votes to Withhold

SAFE
EXCHANGE ZONE
December 11, 2015 — In keeping with the adage, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," Chief Ed Lee of the Hopkinton Police Department has set up an area in the station's parking lot for people who would like to consider making a purchase from an individual who advertised online, but do not want to invite the stranger to their home, and visa-versa. The area is under constant video surveillance and the dispatch area is monitored 24 hours a day.
The concept is intended to weed out an individual who would, under other circumstances, rob the prospective buyer of his cash, and provides a video record of the individuals involved.
We suggest, too, that this become a sunglasses and hoodie-free zone so that the video serves its best purpose. But as always, the police cannot protect against an individual who is selling a product that is not the quality it is purported to be. Buyer beware! Photo by Chief Lee. |

THOMPSON DEMAND VOTE ON TERRORIST GUN
LOOPHOLE
94% of suspected terrorists who attempted to purchase firearms in 2013 and 2014 passed background checks
Washington,
D.C. – After the U.S. Senate failed to pass
legislation last week that would deny guns
to individuals on the terror watch list,
Congressman Joe Kennedy III (MA-4) and
Congressman Mike Thompson (CA-5) called on
Speaker Paul Ryan to bring up a vote on the
Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous
Terrorists Act of 2015 (H.R. 1076). The
bipartisan legislation, introduced by
Republican Congressman Peter King, would
give the Attorney General the authority to
deny the sale of firearms to any individuals
suspected of being engaged in terrorist
activities. |

All's Well That... December 7, 2015 — Major, Treeing Walker Coonhound, was found by the side of the road in Louisiana - with his brothers and sisters - and a bag of dog food. A local Louisiana shelter, Lumber Jack Rescue, took in this vulnerable litter of puppies and took care of them until they could be placed. Major was transported to Hopkinton-based Greyhound Friends' adoption kennel in Hopkinton and soon found a loving home in Sherborn. His adopters are John Davies and Alycia Goody. They love him and Major is doing well with their other two dogs. Contributed content. |
