A message from the Town of Canton:

Road construction will begin today and run through Friday, Aug. 24, on Freedom Drive. This drainage repair work will reduce the road down to one lane at times throughout the week.  Please expect delays. 

Side walk repair/construction will begin tomorrow, Aug. 21, and run for approximately three weeks along 101-107 Main Street and in front of the Valley House (130 Main Street).  These sidewalks will be closed during this time.  Although baricades will be set up for safe passage around these areas, please use caution as you make your way through the area.

Thank you for your anticipated patience and cooperation!

It makes me chuckle when someone spends weeks mudslinging, finger pointing, and pot shotting until…Read More the targets of their harassments speak up and then they decide the game is over, well sorry, I have only just begun. I was sickened by the behavior of certain people at the town meeting scheduled to discuss this garage project. Most of them where given a script to read using lies and incorrect numbers to attack members of town boards and commission. They attacked the intelligence, ethics, and integrity of members of the Board of Selectmen, Board of Finance, Permanent Municipal Building Committee and project consultants. You have even managed to involve our neighbors from Barkhamsted in your May 15 Patch submission, referring to them as “Hairshirt wearing radicals who don’t wash their cars”, again full of incorrect numbers and misinformation. I am attending a Board of Ethics Meeting tonight to defend myself from mud slung on me by those finger pointers trying to distract from the facts at hand. These very same people told this town that they wanted a football field and they wanted a pool. They said that the folks in Canton deserved these things. They understood that these things came with a price tag and they were ready to pay it. Funny how the song has changed now that we have changed our focus to a much less glamorous project. Perhaps if we were proposing a hockey rink or an equestrian team $5.4 million wouldn’t be so much.
