DID YOU KNOW … Canton’s Annual Town Election will be this coming Tuesday, April 5, between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. even though, sadly, there are no contests on the ballot. Although there are no contests, however, it is our civic duty to vote. Our unopposed incumbent office holders deserve our vote because they at […]
While teaching a new reading skill the other day in class, I was reminded yet again of how little my students know about the world outside their neighborhoods. Teaching comprehension according to this new method is difficult enough, but when I’m also presented with the challenge of filling in crater-sized knowledge gaps, it’s put-my-head-on-the-desk-and-sigh time.

DID YOU KNOW… Dave Bohane, who has led the middle school football program for the past two years, has been named the new varsity football coach at Canton High. MAC thinks Bohane sees an abundance of talent in the GMS program and has high hopes for the future. Article 37 in the upcoming Annual Town […]
DID YOU KNOW … As MAC is out of town in Florida, this week’s column will consist of facts and information contained in Canton’s History and Demographic Report, which is full of basic town information that you may or may not know but should.

Everyone on the Project Playground committee should be commended for their […]
Dear Editor: We wanted to share our story of thanks with the citizens of Canton. Several weeks ago on a Monday evening at 10:30 p.m., our carbon monoxide detector started beeping. My husband got out of bed and said he was going to check the detector. He said he cleaned it out and then plugged […]
DID YOU KNOW … Bowing to the questionable recommendation of the Recreation Commission, the Canton Board of Selectmen has voted to celebrate the Fourth of July instead of the more popular annual Canton Homecoming Block Party in September, and MAC believes it is a big mistake. A year ago, there was a survey poll conducted […]
I’m probably one of the few people who enjoyed high school even with all the teen angst floating around. But one thing I do not miss is the popularity contest that always poisoned the air — everyone jockeying around for a slot on the I’m-so-cool list. As I recall, being part of the in-crowd was […]
Dear Editor: I hope that our selectmen have done their homework regarding the solar farm. Being in the green energy field for 20 years, I have some concerns. First, it looks like this is a non-bid contract. As a town, we just do not know if this is the best deal for this project. It seems to […]
