On Saturday, April 30th, HCAM will host our annual contested races debates live from our Studios starting at 6:30pm. HCAM News Director, Tom Nappi will moderate and ask the questions.

We will not be featuring a live audience for the debates this year but invite all community members to watch live on HCAM-TV (Comcast: Channel 8, Verizon Channel 30) or on our youtube page: www.youtube.com/hcamtv.

Town Manager Norman Khumalo and Library Director Nanci Hill wish to share with community members a change to the Hopkinton Public Library’s hours.

Beginning May 1, the library will be open Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

With this adjustment, the library will offer the same amount of walk-in hours each day, but will open and close each day one hour earlier to better accommodate residents’ needs.

The Upper Charles Trail Committee unanimously voted at a meeting held on Wednesday, April 13 at 11 a.m. to recommend that no action be taken on its request for Community Preservation Committee (CPC) funding at the May 2, 2022 Annual Town Meeting.

According to Committee Chair Jane Moran, the committee is in a very different place today than it was when initially asked by the CPC to submit an application for funding, which included Segments 5 and 6.

The Hopkinton Women's Club is holding the 34th annual Meet the Candidates’ Night. The event will be in person this year on Wednesday, April 27th, 2022, at 7:00 PM. HCAM will present this event live on television. We encourage Townspeople to join us at the HCAM-TV Studio on 77 Main St. and pose questions to those citizens running for office in the May 16th Town Election.

Middlesex Sheriff Peter J. Koutoujian was at the White House today as President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco announced new steps the Administration is taking to combat gun crime in the United States.

The announcement focused primarily on a new rule issued by the Department of Justice addressing “ghost guns”, which are privately-made firearms that lack the serial numbers contained on other firearms. The lack of serial numbers makes the firearms nearly impossible to trace when recovered at crime scenes.

My name is Beth Malloy and I am running for the position of Constable in Hopkinton. I grew up in Cambridge and Arlington and attended Mass. College of Liberal Arts. My husband Mike and I have lived in town for over 27 years. Our children attended Hopkinton Schools. We’ve both been lucky to work here in town.
