Hopkinton Today: Thursday, Jan. 18

by | Jan 18, 2024 | Featured: Features, Hopkinton Today

Good morning, Hopkinton! Welcome to the daily update we call Hopkinton Today — a quick recap of yesterday’s news, highlights of what’s on tap, and a photo of the day.

As Hopkinton Police Sgt. Tim Brennan prepares to appear before the Select Board for a Loudermill hearing on his potential termination, the Massachusetts Coalition of Police Local 254 submitted a letter to the Select Board urging members to take Brennan’s “superlative career and personality” into consideration.

State plumbing code changes and an Environmental Justice Community designation in a portion of Hopkinton have impacted the new Elmwood School project. Members of the Elementary School Building Committee on Tuesday discussed these topics along with possible theming opportunities in the building’s design.

This week’s Police Log includes reports of a man abusing a dog, a house break-in, a tree falling into a house and various other issues from the recent storms.

The Hopkinton Special Olympics program played its annual game against the Hopkinton High School freshman basketball team on Monday, and we have photos.

This Sunday at 2 p.m., the Hopkinton Historical Society will host author Susan Wilson, who will speak on her recent biography of Dr. Susan Dimock (1847-75), “Women and Children First: The Trailblazing Life of Susan Dimock, MD.”

Town meetings tonight include the School Committee (6:30), Democratic Town Committee (6:30) and Woodville Historic District Commission (7).

Photo of the Day: For their MLK Day service project Monday, members of Hopkinton’s BSA Troop 1 prepared winter care bags for seniors at the Housing Authority and Golden Pond.
