Dear Editor: On Sunday, May 17, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Cheryl’s Kids are hosting their sixth annual “Cheryl’s Kids Bake Sale.” Daycare provider Cheryl Isaksen and her “kids” (past and present) will host a fun-filled day of selling sweets and treats, with all funds to be donated to charity. As the event is in […]
This coming Monday, May 11, the owners of the Plymouth Rubber property will go before the town’s voters and state their case for redevelopment of the historic 35-acre factory site. Standing behind them in support of this effort will be a chorus of Canton town officials and community stakeholders, and we, the editors of the […]
Dear Editor: As someone who lives about 200 feet from the Plymouth Rubber site, I strongly support the proposed redevelopment plan. Frankly, the site is an eyesore that has long needed to be cleaned up and redeveloped. But beyond that, I support the project because of the open space it offers and the additional tax […]
Dear Editor: We want to publicly thank the many people who supported the two recent events held in support of our son’s charity, the Scott M. Herr Memorial Foundation. In early March, the annual floor hockey tournament was held at Canton High School. Participants included students and faculty alike. We want to thank all who […]
Did you know … The old Plymouth Rubber factory site on Revere Street holds an important piece of Canton history. But as it sits today, the site is contaminated and in disrepair. Canton Holdings, LLC has introduced a plan to revitalize the property with a mixed-use development consisting primarily of owner-occupied homes, a private daycare/kindergarten, […]
Dear Canton residents: Do you dislike the rotary on Pleasant Street? Do you believe the excuses of “listening to the town engineers?” Well, if you were part of the 86 percent who so ignored your birthright that you didn’t vote, you have no right to complain about anything done by our selectmen. And now we’re […]
Dear Editor: Joe DeFelice once again has attacked last year’s town meeting vote that approved moving our April election to November. He continues to claim that this won’t increase voter turnout “except in a presidential year.” I’ve pointed out in previous letters to the Citizen and at last year’s town meeting that abundant historical voter […]
My father-in-law was home one afternoon and the phone rang. At first he thought it was a telemarketer. Then he realized the caller was saying they were from “Microsoft” and it was something about his computer. So he took a minute to see why they were calling. The caller said he wanted to check on […]
Did you know … Let’s get it straight, the majority of Cantonites do not vote in town elections. If five excellent candidates running for selectman, including a longtime (27-year) incumbent, could only muster up 15.9 percent of the registered voters in Canton, then we are all in trouble — and we are not alone. In […]
Did you know … MAC would like to correct a statement made in the column recently. MAC singled out Lincolnshire Drive and Diana Drive as areas “safer” after the roundabout was built. However, in a recent email MAC received from a resident of that area, it reads, “Only two residents that we know of [both […]
