Dear Editor: News flash! Town of Canton look no further. The mystery is solved! The skating rink collapsed because common sense had the shovels, work ethic lapsed, foolish red tape, and lastly, the game of pass the buck. Most important, thanks to the powers that be, no gifts from God were killed! Don’t worry, the […]
Dear Editor: As a parent of a hockey player and a taxpayer in the town, I am extremely concerned with how this catastrophe (collapse of the roof at Metropolis Rink) unfolded. The town of Canton should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this to happen, and people need to be held accountable. First and foremost, […]
Dear Editor: I am a graduate social work student from Bridgewater State University and a Canton resident. As a social work student, I am learning to analyze policies and how they affect individuals and communities. In 2012, Canton made changes to their school lunches to comply with the state’s new nutritional standards for foods and […]
Dear Canton residents: I bet you’ve seen it, but have you heard the new rotary? I live right next to it, and believe me, I hear it 24/7. Overnight, the rotary has turned my sweet neighborhood into a loud and tense place to live. How will you know if you’ve heard the rotary? Listen for […]
Dear Editor: Kudos to the DPW for snow removal after the big storm last week. However, the sidewalks on Beaumont/Sherman Street towards the Canton Junction train station were not shoveled or plowed. That is so dangerous! All commuters have to walk in the street! With the slippery roads, that is just an accident waiting to […]
Dear Editor: I don’t think we actually realize how great it is to live near a city that has world-renowned hospitals and medical care; to live in a town where deer are in your backyard; where you have traffic “engineers” who must own auto body shops. About 10 years ago, I read a study that […]
Dear Editor: I saw a link to your debut column Four Legged Friends on Facebook and read the article. I wanted to tell you I enjoyed reading it and love the idea of a regular animal-related column. Susan Scheide’s story was entertaining and I just had to read it to the end. Keep up the […]
Dear Editor: I was surprised to see a letter to the editor published in the December 31 edition of the Canton Citizen in which the writer referenced a “firestorm of criticism” for the roundabout on Pleasant Street. Perhaps those of us — and I am sure there are many — who are grateful for the changes in […]
Dear Fellow Community Member: If you fall asleep at night without worrying that you may be a victim of a home invasion or a stolen motor vehicle when you wake up in the morning, then please display a blue candle. If you are grateful for the fact that upon hearing a noise in your basement, […]
Dear Editor: I continue to read with interest the saga of the Pleasant Street roundabout. It’s nice to know what a money saver this debacle is. With residents, drivers, and voters presenting a “firestorm of criticism” against this, it is difficult to find the rationale behind it. With two accidents and three (reported) complaints in six weeks, I […]
