Dear Editor: The Canton Summer Fun and Safety Fair, sponsored by the Board of Health, was held on May 21 at Pequitside Farm and, thanks to clear skies and a break in the weather, went off without a hitch. Consequently, it seemed that everyone who participated thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Of course, this could not have […]
Dear Editor: I want to thank the Canton Post Office and employees and Canton residents and businesses who pitched in to make the May 14, 2011 National Association of Letter Carriers Stamp-Out Hunger Food Drive an overwhelming success. It is very gratifying to see the community and the Canton postal team working together to re-stock […]
Dear Editor: It’s hard to believe that it has been 10 years! The 10th annual Dean S. Luce Fun Run was held Sunday, May 1. Temperatures were sunny and comfortable, not like the oppressive heat we had last year. Everyone put their best effort in on both the Fun Run and 5K course. Teachers Sue […]
Dear Editor: On behalf of the entire Canton Knights of Columbus, the scholarship committee would like to thank everyone who attended “Comedy Knight.” We especially want to thank all the performers who so graciously gave their time and talents for our kids. To Chris Bert LeDuc, Frank Santorelli, Kenny Rogerson, Craig Murphy, Lenny Clarke and […]
Dear Editor: I wanted to take a moment to recognize the commitment that the town officials of Canton have to the well being of the town. As many of you know, town meeting can be a very contentious time as boards work hard to present their views of our best course of action as a […]
Dear Editor: On Sunday, May 1, inspired by 5-year-old Mylee Lebowitz, many Canton citizens gathered at 557 Pleasant Street, a location that many natives know for something sweet. A bake sale was held on the front lawn of Cheryl Isaksen’s home to benefit the Canton Food Pantry. I personally made the trip from my school […]
Editor’s Note: At the second session of Canton’s Annual Town Meeting on April 27, Canton resident Allen Karon made a motion to reconsider Article 34, the local option meals tax that had been defeated two nights earlier by a rare 133-133 tie vote. Karon’s motion, although ultimately unsuccessful, was controversial nonetheless, for it extended town […]
Dear Editor: Despite it all, the weirdness of two rules to cover a tie — one if the moderator hasn’t already voted, and another if it’s a budget item — and the appeals to emotion that would make a Southern Senator Claghorn blush, we passed some good articles and turned down others. Having been on […]
Dear Editor: On behalf of the more than 41,000 healthcare workers of 1199SEIU throughout Massachusetts, I would like to thank Representative William Galvin for meeting with frontline healthcare workers from the Canton area recently. Rep. Galvin was incredibly gracious in taking time to hear from us as constituents and as caregivers about the challenges we […]
Dear Editor: Once again, I would like to express my family’s and the committee’s sincere thanks and gratitude for all the walkers who came out for the annual walk in memory of my sister. After a long night of rain, wind, thunder and lightning, the sun broke through, allowing for great walking weather (thank you, […]
