By William P. O’Donnell, Norfolk Register of Deeds As summer comes bringing with it the unmistakable scent of freshly cut grass and impending cookouts, our thoughts turn to a truly special day in Norfolk County and in our country, the Fourth of July. It is more than just fireworks and parades; it is our collective […]
We want to thank the Canton community and supporters from multiple towns for helping to make the fourth annual Anthony Maffie Memorial Walk for CURE Epilepsy our best one yet! The walk was held again this year at Anthony’s elementary school, the JFK. More than 120 walkers braved the rain on June 7 to walk […]
By Dr. John Tamilio III, Pastor, Congregational Church of Canton Those who know me can attest that I am not one of those holy roller ministers — those hell, fire, and brimstone preachers who thump the pulpit calling his parishioners “wretched sinners,” although it would do us all a world of good to be called […]

Dear Editor: I strongly disagree with a letter to the editor in last week’s edition entitled “The war against men.” The writer says that supporters of a female who is currently running against a male for the Select Board are “gender zealots” who are supporting the woman primarily because she is a woman. The writer […]
Dear Editor: I strongly disagree with those like Mr. Corkery, who in his letter last week, discredits Canton residents whose vision for Canton differs from his as “disruptive malcontents.” A healthy community thrives on open dialogue and diverse perspectives. A call for change is a sign of engaged citizenship, not disruption. As a proud 19-year […]
