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 […]
Dear MAC: Thank you for the mention of my father in your February 3 column (“Two Canton Icons Pass Away”). It was thoughtful of you to mention dad as an “icon,” though he would have cringed at that description, being the humble man he was. He lived and worked with people such as Maurice Ronayne Sr., […]
DID YOU KNOW … There was a time when Canton was a “hot” political town — a time when there would be four or five candidates for selectman, a time when there would be contests for many of our town offices — but not this year, not in Canton. This year, for the first time in Canton’s […]
It was one of those silly arguments that we have occasionally because of our differing memories. I kept insisting that we had eaten at Schraftt’s on our first date and Shatz kept saying that no, it was Howard Johnson’s. “I should know,” he said. “I asked my mom where we should eat after the play, […]
DID YOU KNOW… It appears the old Pine Street landfill/dump, which has been closed and capped for over 20 years, could soon become one of the New England’s largest solar facilities, which will be able to generate enough electrical energy to power more than 750 homes. Under the solar generation proposal, approximately 24,000 solar panels […]
Click here for Part 1 The technology piece of our presentation was driving me and my co-trainer Merilee slightly mad. You remember me, the one who owns a cell phone that only — gasp — makes phone calls. Ironically, when I had originally filled out my application to be a STAR trainer, I had blithely […]
To our family, friends and supporters: It has now been over a month since our lives completely changed forever in an instant. We are so grateful that we made the decisions we did that night on December 26. We are all adapting and getting our lives back on track. My family and I would like to take a […]
