A note of thanks for Christmas surprise

Dear Editor: On Monday afternoon I opened my mailbox and found a multi-colored candy cane with a hand-printed note taped to it. It was first hand-printed on paper and then cut out to form the words “nice lights,” referring of course to my Christmas lights. It was a very nice and heartwarming surprise. It made […]

Selectmen’s handling of roundabout should cost them votes

Dear Editor: I would like to thank Susan Scheide for her letter printed in the November 20 issue of the Canton Citizen that essentially stated what everyone is thinking about the Pleasant Street rotary/roundabout. Who benefited from this project? I believe it is the selectmen’s purpose to represent the interests of the people of Canton. They […]

Letter: New rotary a ‘disaster waiting to happen’

Dear Editor: I have lived in Canton Park Condominiums on Pine Street (next to the convenience store) since 2006. In all this time, I have never had to wait at the stop sign at the corner of Bolivar and Pleasant streets more than a minute or two. I have never seen an accident at the intersection. Crossing […]

New roundabout leads to near-death experience

Dear Editor: This past Saturday, I had my first experience with the new roundabout at Bolivar and Pleasant streets. While in the circle I was almost crushed by a pickup truck whose driver was evidently unaware of the yield rules of rotaries. I have driven safely through that intersection for 35 years. It is ironic […]

True Tales columnist deserves praise, not criticism

Dear Editor: The recent controversy regarding George Comeau’s Images on Glass article published in the September 18 issue of this paper is one that I’ve found to be quite sad. I’ve never met Mr. Comeau in person, yet I’ve thoroughly enjoyed his historical pieces, which regularly run in this publication. The article about the trolley […]

Recent blasting came as unpleasant surprise

Dear Editor: As a resident of Wall Street in Canton, I am signed up for all of the town-wide emergency notifications, both by phone and email. On Thursday, October 9, there was apparently some blasting that occurred in the town. I had no knowledge of this. When I got home that day, my dog watcher […]

MABA director urges residents to vote Yes on Question 2

Dear Editor: The American Beverage Association, a group based in Washington, D.C., that represents big beverage companies, has already spent $5 million to defeat Question 2 in November. That is an outrageous amount of money from an outside group swooping in to buy our votes. They are only interested in their profit margins, not our […]

Reader questions motives of ‘Kamera Klub’

Dear Editor: What’s in a name? I finished the article Images on Glass by George Comeau published September 18 with much skepticism about the Kanton Kamera Klub. It is quite curious and suspicious that the group would settle upon a club name whose acronym was synonymous with the notorious Ku Klux Klan, a post-Civil War […]

Cravens family deeply touched by community support

To all friends in Canton: We would like to thank all of you who have supported our family and shown such incredible thoughtfulness and compassion for Bill and Billy Cravens. Both men deeply loved this town and would be so proud and touched by the outpouring of support since their passing. The seat dedicated to […]

Letter: Reader shocked by insensitivity

Dear Editor: I just read your article on the Canton Camera Club (“Images on Glass” by George Comeau, September 18). I don’t know what world you live in, but in my world there is nothing poetic or historically positive about anything with the initials KKK. For you to think that printing that article and not […]
