Dear Editor: Leadership and compassion, with a strong moral compass. These are the defining characteristics I would use to describe Sue Harrington, who is running for a seat on the Canton Select Board. I have watched Sue grow her veterinary practice from a small practice grossing slightly over $200,000 with a single doctor to a […]
Dear Editor: It took me months to be comfortable wearing a button-down shirt untucked — and now the fashion trend is going the other way and I am not happy. I do not like change. I fear change. I’m happy with things the way they are. However, every now and then, well, change can be […]
Dear Editor: I find it very difficult to write this letter, for I have known many town officials and people involved in town government as friends and former students. The founding fathers never intended or envisioned career politicians. Their hope was that public-spirited citizens would step forward, work for the common good, and move aside […]
Dear Editor: I am writing to express my deep concerns regarding the proposal to move our town elections from April to November to coincide with state and federal elections. While increasing voter turnout for town elections is a worthwhile goal, this change presents significant operational challenges that must be carefully considered before any decision is […]
Dear Editor: To the good people of Canton, as we approach yet another town election, I ask you who over the past 43 years has done more for Canton, has been more dedicated or made a more lasting impact to the success of our beautiful town than John Connolly? Respectfully, I ask you to present […]
Dear Editor: I attended the Select Board candidates forum a few weeks ago at the Canton Public Library and had the opportunity to speak with incumbent John Connolly afterward as I sought a better understanding about some of his remarks. Unfortunatley, I heard little clarity. At one point, tucked in a winding response to the […]
Dear Editor: The war against men is alive and well in Canton. It’s on full display against John Connolly, the incumbent running for reelection to the Canton Select Board on April 8. The letter-writing campaign is in full swing, maligning one of the most decent, competent, and productive men to have served on the Select […]
Rick Steves started traveling in 1978 when he was 23. Millions and millions of people have been enjoying his show on public television since 1991. Some have been armchair travelers with him, and many have actually visited the places he talks about on his show or in his guidebooks. According to Wikipedia, Steves is a […]
Dear Editor: I stand with John Connolly for re-election to the Select Board. John is an experienced, passionate, loyal, and committed citizen of this great town we live in, Canton. He has led and served this town for over 30 years. With his leadership, the town has attracted many significant businesses that have chosen to make Canton their […]
Dear Editor: It’s time for change. We have the right candidate at the right time. Canton’s first three-person Board of Selectmen took office in 1797. The first woman, Sheila Cheimets, was elected to the board in 1972. In 2004, the board expanded from three to five seats. In 1989, the year John Connolly was elected […]
