DID YOU KNOW … Bowing to the questionable recommendation of the Recreation Commission, the Canton Board of Selectmen has voted to celebrate the Fourth of July instead of the more popular annual Canton Homecoming Block Party in September, and MAC believes it is a big mistake. A year ago, there was a survey poll conducted […]
I’m probably one of the few people who enjoyed high school even with all the teen angst floating around. But one thing I do not miss is the popularity contest that always poisoned the air — everyone jockeying around for a slot on the I’m-so-cool list. As I recall, being part of the in-crowd was […]
DID YOU KNOW … There was a time when Canton was a “hot” political town — a time when there would be four or five candidates for selectman, a time when there would be contests for many of our town offices — but not this year, not in Canton. This year, for the first time in Canton’s […]
It was one of those silly arguments that we have occasionally because of our differing memories. I kept insisting that we had eaten at Schraftt’s on our first date and Shatz kept saying that no, it was Howard Johnson’s. “I should know,” he said. “I asked my mom where we should eat after the play, […]

DID YOU KNOW … MAC admits that some of our snowfalls are not only spectacular, but they also can (and do) cripple normal activity. Although there is a growing number of vehicles with snowplows attached to their front ends and expensive snow blowers in use, there is a serious shortage of snow shovelers to manually […]
Click here for Part 2 It’s so cold in this classroom today that you could hang meat in here, but still I’m thrilled to be in this room. It’s quiet, the sun is shining in my window, and, best of all, there are no deadlines this week. I’m hoping that for a couple of weeks […]
As an overall fan of fitness and the fitness industry, I was saddened to hear of the passing of one of the industry’s real giants, Mr. Jack LaLanne, who passed away at the ripe old age of 96 on January 23. Known for his more than 70 years in the business as a guru and […]
Former CHS athletes continue to shine While most college students were relaxing on their winter break, a number of athletes from Canton were unable to spend much quality time at home. Instead of skiing at Blue Hills or ordering a pizza at Cobb’s Corner Pizzeria or a sandwich at the News Stand Market and Deli, […]
