The CHS girls’ volleyball season came to an abrupt end Friday night when the slumping Bulldogs, already losers of three straight heading into the match, fell to seventh seeded Milford 3-0 in the opening round of the Division 2 central sectional tournament. Canton, which came in as the 10th seed, once again had the unenviable […]
If it weren’t for 95-year-old George Vujnovich receiving his long-overdue Bronze Star last month — a full 66 years after he helped launch the incredible, yet thoroughly overlooked Halyard rescue mission in Nazi-occupied Yugoslavia in the late summer of 1944 — then perhaps Paul Seery’s thoughts would be elsewhere this Veterans Day. Instead, they are […]
Canton voters showed a surprisingly conservative bent in Tuesday’s statewide election, preferring GOP candidates Charlie Baker and Mary Connaughton by fairly wide margins while also taking the conservative position on two of the three state ballot questions. Baker, who lost to Democratic incumbent Deval Patrick in the governor’s race, garnered considerable support from south shore […]

The […]
Coming off a tough loss to nonleague Quincy the week before, the CHS varsity volleyball team responded in a big way last week with back-to-back shutout victories — at Attleboro on Monday and home versus Sharon on Wednesday; unfortunately, the Bulldogs ran into a buzzsaw Friday night, losing on the road to undefeated North Attleboro […]
While it may not be the ideal climate — political or otherwise — for a seven-time incumbent Democrat to be seeking reelection against a Republican newcomer with no ties to Beacon Hill, state Senator Brian A. Joyce remains confident and hopeful that his 12-year record of service to the district will be more than enough […]
As he looks ahead to his showdown with state Senator Brian A. Joyce in the upcoming statewide election, Canton Selectman Bob Burr, the Republican nominee for the Norfolk, Bristol and Plymouth Senate seat, believes his biggest advantage lies with the discontent of the average voter. This particular brand of discontent, which Burr describes as a […]
The CHS varsity volleyball team had a busy yet productive stretch of games last week, improving to 6-0 in the Davenport Division with wins against Oliver Ames and Stoughton while coming up just short at home in a five-set loss to non-league Quincy on Friday.
