By State Rep. Bill Galvin We are fortunate to live in a country that guarantees numerous freedoms, including freedom of religion, speech, property, and protection against arrest without cause.

Dear Editor: Canton is a village that raises good citizens, as per recent events regarding our state police and another involving the dam at Reservoir Pond. Ryan Sceviour, the state trooper featured in the November 16 edition of the Canton Citizen, was on the wrestling team at CHS coached by Tom Bartosek, as were two […]
Dear Editor: Thank you for your recent article on State Trooper Ryan Sceviour. When I read the initial Boston Globe blurb reporting on the federal lawsuit by Trooper Ryan Sceviour against Colonel Richard McKeon (former superintendent of the Massachusetts State Police), I thought that the “powers-that-be” would likely make all this ugliness go away.

Dear Editor: On Monday, November 13, someone made the decision to pave Messinger and Walnut streets.

Dear Editor: We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the Canton EMTs for their prompt response when we had a medical emergency on October 1. They not only took care of my husband, who had fallen, but made sure that I was okay before they left. The residents of Canton are fortunate to […]
Dear Editor: My wife and I were longtime patients of Dr. Richard Levrault at the Family Medical Associates office in Seekonk — my wife for 20-plus years and myself for 15-plus years. My wife is not a big fan of doctors and/or dentists, but she always looked forward to her appointments with Dr. Levrault because […]
