By Dr. John Tamilio III Someone recently asked me if I say “Merry Christmas” to people or “Happy Holidays.” She also asked if I am offended when someone wishes me a “Merry Christmas.” My knee-jerk response was, “As a Christian pastor, it would seem rather strange if I was offended by someone wishing me a Merry Christmas, no?” I often say […]
Dear Editor: We would like to publicly thank the Canton DPW for installing an electronic speed sign near the intersection of Hillsview and Randolph streets. Speeding along this section of the road is dangerous due to its density and a curve in the road, which limits visibility. The 25 mph speed limit has been greatly […]
Dear Editor: Last weekend on that frigid Sunday, Canton Girl Scouts held a used bike drive to support the Roll it Forward program of BostonBikes. Remarkably, they filled the truck that came to pick up the bikes with 51 bikes of all sizes. The Roll it Forward program will repair the bikes and give them […]
Dear Mr. Joe DeFelice: This letter is in response to your November column about Canton Police Chief Ken Berkowitz assigning school resource officers to both the high school and middle school (two officers). Chief Berkowitz should be highly commended for his commitment to the safety of the children of Canton. In a time of diminishing […]

On Sunday, October 6, over 100 CHS students made the trip into Boston and completed the six-mile walk. With your support, the students raised […]
By Melissa Mayer I can’t believe the race is two weeks away. What was I thinking, signing up for a 5k? Four months ago, I couldn’t even walk a mile, and now I think I can run more than three! I feel too old to be doing this. I am over 40 — who am […]
Dear Editor: Harriet Burak’s article about her son Michael was featured on the front page of your paper (“My Weekend with Michael,” September 26).
