Dear Editor: As we are all aware, our first responders and neighbors go above and beyond, which has been a true testament during this time of uncertainty. One example of their heroic actions happened on a recent Monday when we experienced a terrible storm. While sitting home with my young son, a tree broke and […]
Dear Editor: The first Earth Day in 1970 inspired the passage of key environmental legislation, including the Clean Air, Clean Water and Endangered Species acts and the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In 2016, the United Nations chose Earth Day as the day when the historic Paris Agreement on climate change was signed […]
Dear Editor: Thank you to the dedicated people responsible for making sure youngsters get the nourishment they need since school has been closed. Each day at 11:45 a.m., a Bulldog van has pulled into our complex to pass out lunches, rain or shine. Kudos to all. Canton is fortunate to have people like you. Sincerely, […]
Dear Editor: For the past few weeks, I have enjoyed reading about the championship season of our girls and boys hockey teams; they certainly deserved all the plaudits they received. However, there is another team that didn’t get the opportunity to “skate for a title” and show what its hard work had achieved — it […]
Benjamin Franklin is credited with coining the phrase, “An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure,” after seeing how Boston handled fires in the city. Even though Mr. Franklin was referring to fire prevention, this is true of almost everything, and especially health. The problem with prevention, if you could call it that, […]
Dear Editor: I have only known Lisa Lopez for a year, but I have admired her as a citizen of Canton for a long time. Over the years I had seen her speak at annual town meeting first as a proponent of the Community Preservation Act and then, after passage, as the chair of the […]
Dear Editor: Every year in Massachusetts, thousands of people get married and change their last names, while many more change their addresses. These big and exciting changes often occupy people’s minds for months. During this hectic and new time, people are so focused on the settling process that they fail to recognize that they still […]
Dear Editor: A lot of us from the Neponset Street neighborhood agree with Peter Solz’ assessment in his January 16 letter to the editor that the new Revere bridge is a monstrosity — it couldn’t be uglier. It is rivaled in ugliness only by the Canton Junction overpass. What a shame. Due to safety and nightmare traffic […]
Dear Editor: The new bridge over the Neponset River at the Revere Park is a monstrosity. It looks like it belongs in a train yard in Liverpool. It’s not at all in keeping with the look of the park. An old New England style covered bridge would be more in style with its surroundings. Would […]
Dear Editor: I started with CrossFit HomeBase, a local gym on Turnpike Street, a few months after it opened about seven years ago. Truth be told, I was a little leery at first, thinking it would be a gym with “muscle heads” walking around stopping at every mirror to flex! Boy was I wrong. There […]
