Announcement of Candidacy for Hopkinton Town Moderator

       I’m Tom Garabedian and I’m announcing my candidacy for the position of Town Moderator.  Town meeting in Hopkinton is an extraordinary exercise of the power of our town’s residents to chart Hopkinton’s direction and to spend its tax resources.  A successful moderator must be intimately familiar with the financial and non-financial issues before the town so that he or she can help conduct an efficient town meeting.  If elected, I promise respect for the issues under consideration, respect for town meeting members, and respect for the time of all involved. 

Since our family’s move to Hopkinton in 1988, I have served on the School Committee from 1991 through 1997, the Zoning Board of Appeals from 1998 through 2011, and as a Commissioner of Trust Funds from 2005 through 2014.  My professional career included 34 years as a consulting actuary and 4 years as an executive director of a nongovernmental charitable organization with significant responsibilities for managing projects and meetings.

I would appreciate your consideration of my candidacy and your vote on election day.

Sincerely,

Tom Garabedian

MESSAGE FROM THE TOWN CLERK’S OFFICE

  This is a reminder for all residents who own dogs.  The deadline for registering dogs at the rate of $10 for spayed female/neutered male and $15 for female/male dogs is March 31.  All dogs are required to be registered each year before April 1. Under Massachusetts General Law (MGL), Ch. 40, §137 and Chapter 62 of the Town Bylaws, it is required that all dogs six months or older, owned or kept in the Town of Hopkinton must be licensed by April 1 each year. Licensing of all dogs requires a rabies certificate showing that the owner’s dog(s) have received their rabies shot.  You may call our office to confirm rabies expiration date in our files prior to sending payment. After April 1, there is a late fee of $25; On May 1 we will report to the Animal Control Officer a list of dogs who are not licensed.  The Animal Control Officer is able to issue citations to those owners whose dogs are still unlicensed.  The delinquent owners will then be responsible for the license fee, late fee and any citation.

The Annual Street Listing was also due in the Town Clerk’s Office.  Failure to respond to Annual Street Listing shall result in removal from the active voter list.  Inactive voters are required to complete Affirmation Forms at polls prior to being allowed to vote.  Voters can avoid additional lines and wasted time by returning their Annual Street List as soon as possible.

I would also like to inform voters of the change to the entrance to our polling location.  To promote student safety, the entrance to the polls is the back entrance to the Middle School gym.  During the recent Presidential Primary Election, it was noted that voters were not utilizing the lower parking lot.  We have purchased a flag/banner to highlight the entrance and wish to encourage you to park in the back/lower parking lot. 

Please call the Town Clerk’s Office at 508-497-9710 or email me at townclerk@hopkintonma.gov with any questions and for more information regarding dog licensing. As always, the Town Clerk’s Office is committed to excellent customer service and upholding the values of open government by providing access to the Town’s public records.

Sincerely yours,

Brenda McCann

Acting Town Clerk

Roberta “Bobbi” Gibb Named Grand Marshal of the 2016 Boston Marathon

B.A.A. to Celebrate 50 Years of Women’s Running at the Boston Marathon throughout Marathon Weekend

BOSTON – The Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.) announced today that Roberta “Bobbi” Gibb will be the Grand Marshal of the 2016 Boston Marathon® on Monday, April 18. One of the Boston Marathon’s most recognizable pioneers, Gibb became the first woman ever to complete the Boston Marathon in 1966, when she raced from Hopkinton to Boston as an unregistered participant. At that time, women were not yet allowed to officially register for the Boston Marathon. Her successful finish at the 1966 Boston Marathon became a historic milestone in the women’s running movement.

“This year we are excited to celebrate 50 years of women's participation at the Boston Marathon, particularly honoring Bobbi Gibb and her pioneering run in 1966,” said Joann Flaminio, President of the B.A.A. “Gibb changed the course of running history five decades ago, setting the stage for generations to come. Bobbi will lead 30,000 runners, including more than 14,000 female entrants, on their way to Boston on Patriots’ Day this year.”

At the age of 23, Gibb traveled from California to her family’s home in Winchester, Mass., arriving a day before the 1966 Boston Marathon. Waiting in bushes adjacent to the start in Hopkinton, Gibb jumped into the sea of runners shortly after the starting gun sounded, beginning her run to Boston.

Crossing the finish line in 3 hours, 21 minutes, 40 seconds, Gibb became the first woman to successfully complete the Hopkinton to Boston race, placing ahead of many male competitors. Despite not being recognized as an official finisher, Gibb’s drive to complete the race was a watershed moment in women’s distance running history.

In both 1967 and 1968, Gibb returned to Boston and again finished as the top woman. Gradually, the women’s running movement picked up steam and - in 1972 - women were officially recognized as official entrants in the Patriots’ Day race. In the years since 1966, more than 164,000 women have finished the Boston Marathon.

At the 100th Boston Marathon in 1996, Gibb was presented an official finisher’s medal for her runs in 1966, 1967, in recognition of her place in Boston Marathon - and running - history.

“Not only did Bobbi Gibb's run lead to women's participation in marathoning, but it also proved that courage and determination can lead to change,” said Flaminio. “Throughout Boston Marathon week we will honor Bobbi and women of the Boston Marathon.”

During Boston Marathon week, the B.A.A. will celebrate many pioneers in the women’s running movement, highlighting stories of triumph and accomplishment. From the thousands of women charity runners to the six women who have active streaks of 25 or more consecutive Boston Marathons, women’s running will be a key theme at the 120th running of the Boston Marathon.

As Grand Marshal, Gibb will ride in a custom pace car provided by the New England Acura Dealers Association, the official automotive sponsor of the Boston Marathon. Riding ahead of the lead pack, Gibb will signify that thousands of runners will soon be coming down the course. The B.A.A. has reserved the grand marshal role as a position of recognition and honor. Last year’s grand marshal was Dick Hoyt of Team Hoyt, while the 2014 Grand Marshal was four-time Boston Marathon winner Bill Rodgers.

Over the last 50 years, Bobbi Gibb has reflected upon her 1966 run from Hopkinton to Boston in many ways. Gibb has produced a booklet titled “To Boston with Love: The Story of the First Woman to Run the Boston Marathon,” which chronicles her experience. She has also authored a book titled “Wind in the Fire.”

The 120th running of the Boston Marathon will be held on Monday, April 18, 2016, and John Hancock Financial is the Principal Sponsor for the 31st consecutive year.

24 Years at 24 Main Street

March 14, 2016 — Many people know that 24 Main Street, where the HopNews office and Photographic Images studio are located, is for sale. The passing of our gracious, magnanimous and caring landlady, Flora Busconi, has set this in motion. She has generously left her properties to relatives, who want to sell, rather than maintain leased properties as she had. We miss her dearly.

        Over the years, as the industry has turned toward less studio photography, we have grown HopNews.com, which has been our main focus since  2003. We are splitting the office duties into two private locations, while the new owners do what they need to do.

         For years, we have moved our professional photography toward outdoor and in-home portraiture, in anticipation of a day like today. Please note our facebook page for proof!

         For those needing to send mail, our mailing address is HopNews, PO Box 351, Hopkinton, MA 01748. For those who would like to send an email, please use editor@HopNews.com - and for those who would like immediate attention, please call 508-435-5534. 

The Hopkinton Girls 7th Grade Basketball team coached by Jen Breslin, Kevin Murphy and Scott Senseney won their division 2 championship on Sunday March 13th. Congratulations to all the girls and their coaches.

Groundbreaking Reminder: Friday, March 11, 2016, at 10 a.m. at 13 Main Street

The Hopkinton Board of Selectmen and Hopkinton Public Library Foundation invite you to the Groundbreaking Ceremony for the much anticipated restoration, renovation and expansion of Hopkinton Public Library. The Ceremony will be held on Friday, March 11, 2016, at 10 a.m. at 13 Main Street, Hopkinton.

The Groundbreaking is the culmination of many years of hard work by numerous members of the Hopkinton community. The Board of Selectmen, Permanent Building Committee, and Hopkinton Public Library Foundation wish to thank the incredible number of residents who supported improving our Library; the many residents who provided invaluable feedback on the design of the renovation and expansion; and the hundreds of groups, businesses, families and individuals who have contributed to the community’s goal of privately raising $1 million to defray the cost of the project (and have helped reach the milestone of raising $750,000!).

Constructed in 1895, the original two-story gothic stone building measured 1,500 square feet and cost a total of $14,035. Hopkinton Public Library was renovated and expanded only once, in 1967, when it was joined with the adjacent Episcopal Church, bringing the library to its current size of 5,783 square feet. Today, Hopkinton has a magnificent design to restore, renovate and expand the Library. The new, three-level building will be state-of-the-art, accessible, and environmentally friendly; yet maintain the character of the original, historic Library. It will provide space for community gatherings, a learning lab for adults and students, and spacious, age appropriate Children’s and Young Adult sections. Once completed, Hopkinton Public Library will provide a modern, accessible facility that meets the current and future needs of the community for generations to come.

Please join us to break ground on this momentous project for our community! For more information, such as the history of the project and the plans for the new library, please visit www.HPLFinc.org.

Hopkinton Board of Selectman, Ben Palleiko, Chair

Hopkinton Town Hall

18 Main St

Hopkinton, MA 01748

Subject: Hopkinton Center for the Arts request for an all-alcohol License

Dear Chairman Palleiko,

I read in the MWDN of Saturday, 27 February, the following comment made in a letter to the Board of Selectmen, and I quote, “We offer The Center for Arts in Natick (TCAN) as an example of how a neighboring local licensing authority issued a liquor license in circumstances similar to ours.” I submit, that other than “Center for Arts”, and being located in a historic building, there substantial differences between the two, as listed below.

• TCAN purchased the property from the Town of Natick, they are not leasing it from the Town of Natick, eliminating whatever legal liability might befall Hopkinton as HCA’s landlord.

• From TCAN’s website: “The firehouse is a privately owned facility, TCAN reserves the right to decline any rental requests.” (emphasis mine)

• TCAN is located in the downtown business area of Natick.

• It is surrounded by restaurants, pubs, a hair salon, banks, a martial arts studio, retail stores, etc.

• There is not a school in sight.

• There are no private homes in sight.

• The area is neither residential in nature nor by zoning.

There is no basis to justify issuing an All Alcohol license to HCA based upon the issuance of a beer and wine only license by the Town of Natick to TCAN, nor, similarly, to the town of Framingham issuing the Amazing Things Art Center such a license, neither of which are in a residential zone nor by a school.

While the HCA notes that “The service of alcohol is not our mission… it is intended to increase the enjoyment of selected HCA events.”, once the door is opened a crack (ie the granting of the requested license for the requested days and hours), the town will have little recourse to limiting when and how alcohol is served within those days and hours. At first only for select art exhibit openings, stage performances and the like, but how long until HCA is hosting wedding receptions, birthday, graduation, or retirement parties…

Sincerely,

Edwin E Harrow

  BOSTON – Working closely with Harvard University, the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology, and the Harvard University Native American Program, the Boston Athletic Association is pleased to announce that numerous events exploring the history and importance of Native American running traditions will be featured during Boston Marathon weekend this year. Past, present, and future Native American running culture will be explored leading up to the 120th Boston Marathon, to be held on Monday, April 18, 2016.

The free, multi-day event, which is titled Native American Running: Culture, Health, Sport, will not only explore the history and importance of Native American running traditions, but will also present efforts to support and encourage running in Native American communities.

"We are proud and honored to work with our friends at Harvard University to celebrate and showcase Native American running, both here on the roads to Boston and beyond,” said Tom Grilk, Executive Director of the B.A.A. “The events planned for Boston Marathon weekend will be both inspirational and educational, exploring all facets of Native culture through running and sport.”

Kicking off the celebration will be a Native American Running Conference at Harvard University on Friday, April 15, followed by two panel discussions at the John Hancock Sports & Fitness Expo on Saturday, April 16, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Hynes Convention Center. Both events are free and open to the public.

"Every culture runs, but Native American running traditions are special. These events will explore and honor Native American running in all its rich diversity, from its origins to the present, including in the Boston Marathon,” said Daniel E. Lieberman, Harvard University’s Edwin M. Lerner II Professor of Biological Sciences. A leading expert in the evolutionary benefits of running for both Native American cultures and the general population, Lieberman will participate in both the panel discussion and expo series on Boston Marathon weekend. “We have much to learn about Native American running traditions, and we need them more than ever."

Among the distinguished guests also participating are Billy Mills, a member of the Oglala Lakota (Sioux) Nation, the 1964 Olympic gold medalist over 10,000 meters, and a Native American leader, as well as athletes from the Tarahumara indigenous people of Mexico’s Copper Canyons. Representing the Tarahumara will be Arnulfo Quimare, one of the most accomplished ultra-marathoners in history, and Irma Chavez-Cruz. Both Quimare and Chavez-Cruz will race the 120th Boston Marathon.

Chris McDougall, author of the bestselling book, Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen, which chronicles the Tarahumara, will also be on hand to participate in panel and expo discussions.

Other scheduled participants include 1986 Boston Marathon champion Rob de Castella, a leader of the Indigenous Marathon Foundation in Australia; three-time Boston Marathon runner-up Patti Dillon, a Micmac Indian and the first American woman ever to break 2:30 in the marathon; Chris Sockalexis, a Penobscot Tribal Historic Preservation Officer and relative of Olympian and marathon great Andrew Sockalexis; and Mickey Mahaffey, a guide, cultural consultant, race organizer, and researcher of indigenous Mexican tribes.

This April, the B.A.A. will also celebrate two native champions: Ellison "Tarzan" Brown, the 1936 and 1939 champion, as well as Thomas Longboat, the 1907 Boston Marathon victor. The 2016 Boston Marathon marks the 80th anniversary of “Tarzan” Brown’s 1936 victory, the iconic race which is said to have led to the naming of “Heartbreak Hill.” The B.A.A. also recognizes Andrew Sockalexis, a member of the Penobscot of Maine who placed second in 1912 and 1913.

Connecting the week’s celebration of Native running traditions to the Patriots’ Day race, representatives from the Tarahumara indigenous people will compete in the 120th Boston Marathon. In addition, members of Wings of America and Running Strong for American Indian Youth (a charity which helps American Indians meet their immediate survival needs while creating opportunities for self-sufficiency and self-esteem in American Indian youth), as well as Rob De Castella’s Indigenous Marathon Foundation, will also race from Hopkinton to Boston.

"Generations of Native runners have competed and excelled at various levels across the nation. The teams of Native runners participating this year continue to share and represent these strong cultural running traditions,” said Shelly C. Lowe, Executive Director of the Harvard University Native American Program. “We are absolutely delighted to shine a national light on Native runners this year as we join the B.A.A. in celebrating the accomplishments of Tarzan Brown, Thomas Longboat, and Andrew Sockalexis.”

A youth team from Wings of America has been invited to compete in the B.A.A. Relay Challenge on Saturday, April 16, extending the Native American tradition to one of Boston Marathon weekend’s most fun-filled events. Wings of America uses running as a catalyst to empower American Indian and Alaskan Native youth to take pride in themselves and their cultural identity, leading to increased self-esteem, health and wellness, leadership, and hope, balance, and harmony.

Native American tradition is intertwined with the roads leading to the Boston Marathon finish line. In 1907, Canadian Thomas Longboat, of the Onondaga Six Nations, won the Boston Marathon in a course-record time of 2:24:24. Nearly three decades later, Narragansett tribal member Ellison “Tarzan” Brown triumphed in 1936 and 1939, establishing himself as one of the most dominant Boston Marathon champions of the decade. Andrew Sockalexis, a member of the Penobscot of Maine, placed second in 1912 and 1913.

The entire running community is welcome to connect and experience the Native American running traditions at both the Native American Running Conference at Harvard University on Friday, April 15, and at the speaker series at the John Hancock Sports & Fitness Expo on Saturday, April 16. Both events are free and open to the public.

More information can be found via the Boston Athletic Association’s website, www.BAA.org, as well as at the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology’s website, www.peabody.harvard.edu/native-american-running .

Bald Eagle Nesting

There are now more eagles nesting in Massachusetts than any time in the recent past, and we need your help keeping track of them! Please report eagle sightings to Andrew Vitz (MassWildlife’s State Ornithologist,andrew.vitz@state.ma.us). Many of our nesting eagles are banded with coded-color bands that identify the individual, so make sure to look for these leg bands whenever you see or photograph an eagle. We are particularly interested in getting reports of birds carrying sticks. When there is evidence of a new breeding territory, our staff verifies the report as they monitor known nests. MassWildlife will conduct its Spring Eagle Survey on Friday, April 8. The Survey consists of coordinated teams of staff and volunteers who spread out across the state to check on historic nest sites and look for new nests.

Hopkinton Varsity Cheerleaders State Champions

    Last Sunday marked an incredible accomplishment for the Hopkinton Varsity Cheerleaders, winning a State Championship.

For this winter competitive season, the Hillers cheer team entered a brand new Massachusetts Secondary School Administrators’ Association (MSSAA) division, called Game Day.  The focus of the Game Day division is a positive performance experience for the crowd, combined with athletic skill and precision.  Game Day routines feature 3 performances - Time Out Cheer, Game Situation Sideline, and Half-Time Performance.  

Of the fifteen athletes on the team, nine were brand new to the sport of cheerleading having only joined the team in the second week of December.  Over the last nine weeks under the direction of the coaches and leadership of the three captains, these athletes transformed into the team that performed on Sunday, determined to succeed.  Their passion, their courage to try something new, and  relentless pursuit of greatness that led to Hopkinton's first State Championship, and the first ever Game Day State Champion in the state of Massachusetts.

Head Coach Melissa Zwang commented “The coaches are so incredibly proud of this team.  To my seniors, Maia Guelfi, Michelle Horrigan, and Brooke Bellar thank you for all your hard work, loyalty, and contributions to the continued success of Hopkinton Cheerleading.  We will miss you.”  Coach Zwang also credits her assistant coaches, Alison Kiely, Tia Mastrogianis, and Tracy Stickney for their incredible contributions to the team.  The heart of a Hiller beats strong.
