August 1968! It was exciting, exhausting and marvelous. Just like a moving day should be! We were moving from the city to the “country”… or should I say the “suburbs.” The moving van was out front and we were (all eight of us) working to get the furniture and all our belongings stashed into the […]
Dear Editor: The students of Canton High School would like to thank the generosity of the Canton community for their recent support with the annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk in Boston. On Sunday, October 6, over 100 CHS students made the trip into Boston and completed the six-mile walk. With your support, the students raised […]
Did you know … It looks like Dunkin’ Brands will remain at its present location at 130 Royall Street through 2025, if the 2014 annual town meeting approves an extension of a tax increment financing plan already approved by the Canton Board of Selectmen and the Board of Assessors. Under the plan, Dunkin Brands is […]
By Melissa Mayer I can’t believe the race is two weeks away. What was I thinking, signing up for a 5k? Four months ago, I couldn’t even walk a mile, and now I think I can run more than three! I feel too old to be doing this. I am over 40 — who am […]

Glancing at my cell phone, I noticed a tiny number attached to one of my application icons. As usual, something needed updating. If it’s an app that I’ve added, it’s not a big deal. I click on the icon, agree to everything they ask of me, including seven years of indentured servitude, and voila! I’m […]
Dear Editor: Harriet Burak’s article about her son Michael was featured on the front page of your paper (“My Weekend with Michael,” September 26). That took great courage for both you and the mother to come forth about the hideous nightmare of drug abuse. How these kids get to that point comes by many a path: bully? […]
Dear Editor: Canton has the chance to enter the 21st century with the adoption of single-stream recycling! At long last, the Board of Selectmen is entertaining a waste disposal contract that will include this service. Currently, we are limited to recycling in little blue bins with no covers. The bins require indoor storage and also create […]
Did you know … In MAC’s opinion, funds from the Community Preservation Act should go to upgrade the Canton High School tennis courts. In addition to its use by high school students, it seems that every day Canton residents are on the courts, making it a community recreational facility. It certainly qualifies for funding under […]
Dear Editor: I’m writing to express my thoughts on the trash/recycling changes that our selectmen are proposing. I mean no insult to our BOS, and I am in full support of recycling and do my part at home to support this effort. However, I and many others seem to be opposed to this new model. I reviewed […]
