Dear Editor: I have been burning biofuel for several years now. It burns cleaner, which helps the environment. A heat manager attached to the control box to the furnace/boiler also helps in how much oil one burns per season. I attended the annual meeting of the Mass Energy Consumers Alliance on Wednesday night and learned […]
Dear Editor: Just six months ago, a special town meeting approved one of the most significant zoning changes in recent memory, giving the green light to a major redevelopment on the former Paul Revere property. At that time, town meeting also approved the purchase of approximately seven acres of open space using Community Preservation Act […]

Rob saw a post on Facebook asking for help in printing some large color photo posters for our lobby and hallways. He offered his services free of charge! Rob printed over 20 posters that helped make […]
Dear Editor: Carol and I felt that we wanted to write a short letter to give the people of Canton our feelings about Canton’s new senior center. I, with others, had worked on trying to get this job done for a number of years and unfortunately we were unsuccessful. What a wonderful job has been […]
Dear Editor: It is said that the first shot of heroin is an experiment; the second, a habit. That once you get the ‘kiss of God,’ you will chase that high for the rest of your life — unless you’re smart enough to get help. In Canton, we have a group that is trying to be […]
