Dear Editor: On Sunday, May 1, inspired by 5-year-old Mylee Lebowitz, many Canton citizens gathered at 557 Pleasant Street, a location that many natives know for something sweet. A bake sale was held on the front lawn of Cheryl Isaksen’s home to benefit the Canton Food Pantry. I personally made the trip from my school […]
Editor’s Note: At the second session of Canton’s Annual Town Meeting on April 27, Canton resident Allen Karon made a motion to reconsider Article 34, the local option meals tax that had been defeated two nights earlier by a rare 133-133 tie vote. Karon’s motion, although ultimately unsuccessful, was controversial nonetheless, for it extended town […]
Dear Editor: Despite it all, the weirdness of two rules to cover a tie — one if the moderator hasn’t already voted, and another if it’s a budget item — and the appeals to emotion that would make a Southern Senator Claghorn blush, we passed some good articles and turned down others. Having been on […]
Dear Editor: On behalf of the more than 41,000 healthcare workers of 1199SEIU throughout Massachusetts, I would like to thank Representative William Galvin for meeting with frontline healthcare workers from the Canton area recently. Rep. Galvin was incredibly gracious in taking time to hear from us as constituents and as caregivers about the challenges we […]
Dear Editor: Once again, I would like to express my family’s and the committee’s sincere thanks and gratitude for all the walkers who came out for the annual walk in memory of my sister. After a long night of rain, wind, thunder and lightning, the sun broke through, allowing for great walking weather (thank you, […]
Dear Editor: I would like to comment on the proposed town meeting article to create a deputy chief position within the police department. It is the position of the selectmen and chief of police that the position exists but is unfilled. I would point out that the position was replaced by two lieutenants; subsequently, a […]
Dear Editor: I am writing to let you know about an amazing event the children and parents of Cheryl’s Home Daycare are having on Sunday, May 1. It is called Cheryl’s Kids Give Back! It will be held at 557 Pleasant Street from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. This exciting idea came from my 5 […]
Dear Editor: On Saturday, February 12, the Luce School CAPT held our “Project Playground” event at the Knights of Columbus. It was an evening filled with good food, music, raffles, and auctions, with all of the proceeds going to benefit the Luce playground fund. Everyone on the Project Playground committee should be commended for their […]
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 […]
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 […]
