I swore to myself that I would not write about the weather; after all, what could be more boring than writing about the weather for God’s sake? Maybe talking about the weather, and that’s exactly what everyone in Boston has been doing for almost two weeks now. That’s because New England is proving Mark Twain […]
DID YOU KNOW … “Boston Rob” Mariano, who grew up in Canton and graduated from Xaverian Brothers High School, is the winner of the CBS reality show Survivor: Redemption Island. The season finale, which aired Sunday night, ended with 35-year-old Mariano taking home the $1M prize — and an additional $100,000 from Sprint. It was […]
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 […]
DID YOU KNOW … MAC hates to tell you again, but it appears Social Security recipients are facing a third consecutive year without a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA), which would give them a modest increase in their checks. The government is now projecting a slight cost-of-living adjustment for Social Security benefits for next year; but for […]
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 […]
