Dear Friends: It has been my privilege to serve on the Board of Trustees of the Canton Public Library since 1977. It is now time for me to step down. So many wonderful things have happened to the library since 1977. Perhaps the most significant occurred more than ten years ago when, with the cooperation […]
DID YOU KNOW … This year, for the second time in three years, there were no contests for any of our town offices, and all incumbent candidates got another free ride back into office. While it is true the incumbents have generally done a credible job, the need for competition is obvious, as the lack […]
For most of the years that Steve and I have been married we’ve always held a Passover seder in our home. Lisa was a baby for our first one, and mom and dad were visiting from Israel so we had plenty of help from my folks. We used Steve’s parents’ seder plate and improvised the […]

Dear Editor: As the mother of two teenagers and an educator in the Milton and Canton public schools since the late 1970s, I’ve had about 30 years of interaction with middle school, high school, and even preschool youngsters in these communities. Last spring, I found myself at a wake and funeral for a former student, […]
