Did you know … Another summer is gone, leaving nothing but memories; and the fall season is well upon us with its cooler weather. There is a lot to look forward to in the fall. The colorful fall foliage, Halloween, Thanksgiving feasts, weekend football games, trees devoid of leaves, and of course, the drudgery of […]
Did you know … Two years ago, the state approved electronic billboards along Massachusetts highways. The town of Canton has allowed one on Route 95 in the Shawmut Park area off Dedham Street. The sharp looking, well-lit digital display is generating revenue for the town. However, MAC wonders if the town has approved any regulations […]
Dear Editor: This past Saturday, I had my first experience with the new roundabout at Bolivar and Pleasant streets. While in the circle I was almost crushed by a pickup truck whose driver was evidently unaware of the yield rules of rotaries. I have driven safely through that intersection for 35 years. It is ironic […]
Editor’s note: The author of this column is the longtime general manager of Canton Community Television, which produces The Student Station. Before donating my older magazines to the “exchange” at the Foxboro library, I go through them to see if there’s anything I should read before letting it go. It’s a bad habit — flipping […]
On Monday mornings Kathleen leads a non-stop workout class. She crams more into an hour than anyone else I know. In other classes, if I see there are only five minutes left, I know the end is near.

The desserts sell for between […]
David Bakke, writing for the Money Crashers personal finance blog, says he “cannot think of a single instance where purchasing an extended warranty is a good idea.” With one exception (which I will get to at the end of this column), I’d say Bakke has it exactly right. And extended warranties — also known as […]
Did you know … The Canton Fall Classic, a scenic and challenging country course, is celebrating its 26th year on Sunday, October 26. The 10K and 5K runs start simultaneously at 10 a.m., while the one-mile fun run starts at 9:45 a.m. at Temple Beth Abraham at 1301 Washington Street in Canton. Race founders Rich […]
Dear Editor: As a resident of Wall Street in Canton, I am signed up for all of the town-wide emergency notifications, both by phone and email. On Thursday, October 9, there was apparently some blasting that occurred in the town. I had no knowledge of this. When I got home that day, my dog watcher […]
