Eagle Scout Project
September 8, 2007 - Alex Keefe prepares to direct operations for his Eagle Scout Project. Alex noticed while visiting Andover, MA a special reflective hydrant marker. While looking around Southborough for a project, Alex noticed that Southborough had many non-reflective markers. So ensued his quest to change that. After contacting Southborough Fire Chief John Mauro and DPW Superintendent Karen Galligan Alex recruited Scouts, friends and family to assist him with replacing 200 hydrant markers today. Below. Alex demonstrates to the volunteers how to loosen the port enough to slide the old hydrant marker off and replace it with a newer model. These new markers will assist the Highway department in locating fire hydrants during snowstorms and will help firefighters locate the hydrants in an emergency quicker at night time.

Water under the Bridge. NOT!
September 7, 2007 - The keystone arched bridge that connects Southborough with Hopkinton shows how dry it has been. Normally the Sudbury River would be running this streambed. Now it is just a trickle beneath the rock and unseen from the eye. |

Upcoming Library Events
September 6, 2007 - Fall into Storytimes! Parents are welcome to sign their children up for Story Hour (with crafts) for the Fall Session in the Children’s Room at the Southborough Public Library. The phone number is 508-485-5031. The first six week session begins September 17th. The schedule is as follows: Mondays at 10:30 for four and five year olds, Tuesdays at 10:30 for 2 and 3 year olds and at 3:30 there will be a drop-in story and craft for two through five year olds. Wednesdays at 10:30 there are stories and crafts for two and three year olds. On Thursdays there will be two Music and Mother Goose classes for babies. The 10:30 session is designed for babies from birth to twelve months and the 11:00 session is for one to two year olds. These classes teach early literacy, music education and involve singing and movement. All our preschool programs are so important for children to learn early literacy skills, social development and for building a connection with their library as a continual source of life long learning. Babies benefit by hearing nursery rhymes and singing at even only a few months old and it is a great opportunity to meet with other families. There is a Book Discussion Group for 4th- 6th Graders every month. Visit the library for details. The next session is on September 13th. Pizza will be served! Drumlin Farm will be visiting the library on October 20th! Children ages two through five will meet a Great Horned Owl and hear Jane Yolen’s Caldecott Award winning book Owl Moon. There will be two sessions: 2:00 and 2:35. Sign up begins on September 20th. Spaces are limited so sign up soon! Trick or Treat at the library on Halloween, October 31st! Children may come to the library after school for face painting and treats. |

Rubbish Fire
September 5, 2007 - Southborough Firefighters extinguish a fire from the dumped contents of a rubbish truck. The driver noticed smoke coming out the back of his truck and found the first open space to pull into. The rubbish ended up being dumped in the parking lot of the Davco Conservation land parking lot. Firefighters combed through the rubbish checking for hot spots. Foam was used to assist with putting out the fire and smoldering debris. The company Allied Waste Services were responsible for the cleanup and had the parking lot looking pristine in just hours. |

5, 2007 - The photo on the left was taken Thursday August 31, 2007 and the
photo of the Sudbury River on the right was taken yesterday 9/4/2007.
The river has dropped even more leaving the Gage basically out of the river
now. Although we do not get our water from the Sudbury River or the Sudbury
Reservoir (MWRA Quabbin/Wachusett is Southborough's water supply) we as
stewards of the land should be more considerate of how we use our water as
water is a precious resource. EFFECTIVE
JUNE 21, 2007 - VOLUNTARY ODD/EVEN OUTSIDE WATERING BAN
Please conserve water and only perform outside watering based on your house
number (i.e. odd numbered houses water on odd numbered days)
