During my 2010 candidacy for state auditor, I had the privilege of seeing Janet in action up close. She accompanied me across the state, from town to town, morning and night, as a loyal ally in our quest to make Massachusetts an even better state. She did the ground work, got to know the people, gave sound advice and cared deeply about the future of the Massachusetts GOP.

With the successful completion of a recent capital campaign, St. John the Evangelist has begun restoration and painting of the north side aisle and rear of the church. According to Fr. Richard Cannon, pastor of St. John's, pledges from parishioners, amounting to $1,024,000, exceeded expectation. After water damage repair, art work restoration, and overall painting, the interior of the historic church is expected to recapture the vision of its original, uniquely skilled craftsmen.

The Hopkinton Fire Department would like to send out a special thanks to Firefighter William Lukey as he serves his final tour of duty for the Town today. Bill joined the department back in 1983 as a call/volunteer firefighter and then in 1989 committed himself to a career of public service. We are all lucky to have worked alongside Bill through the years as shared his wonderful humor, wisdom and firefighting experience. So after more than 32 years of service and commitment to our Town, we say farewell to Bill and wish him the best in his retirement years.
