Dear Editor: In a world of “bus bullies” and “me against you” reality TV, the town of Canton has Mike and Judy Mahan. Mike and Judy have their own children and grandchildren, and full-time jobs, which is enough to keep us all more than busy and self-involved. What Mike and Judy have given to the […]
Dear Editor: I am writing this letter with the hopes that the town will help me out with a safety issue. I own property at 9 Manitou Road, which is off of Lake Road, and my 88-year-old mother lives on Glen Road, which is also off of Lake and Manitou. I am concerned about two […]

The town of Canton is indebted to those groups who show up year in and year out and march in the Memorial Day Parade. Many towns have dropped their parades for lack of participation by its residents, veterans, and veterans’ organizations. We hope to continue as long as we have the support and participation of […]
Dear Editor: I celebrated an anniversary on Memorial Day. It was the 35th year of my membership in the American Legion and the 35th anniversary of the first Memorial Day parade that I marched in — in Wilton, New Hampshire. I remember that I felt that I made some vets jealous because I was wearing my […]
Dear Editor: How long are we going to condone the horrors at the Judge Rotenberg Center in Canton? You would be arrested for child abuse if you used the taser-like shocking machinery they use, the food deprivation techniques, the humiliation, the slapping, the pinching. But because of an apathetic legislature, we the people are allowing […]
