Dear Editor: The Dean S. Luce School CAPT (Canton Association of Parents and Teachers) wishes to thank all of those who contributed to the success of our March 2 annual carnival.

Dear Editor: I am not sure everyone in Canton understands just what an outstanding history teacher Coach Paul Therrien was. He inspired me to major in political science in college and instilled in me a sense of pride and honor in being an American citizen. I would never have enlisted in the Army and served […]

This plan, instead of […]
As a fellow citizen of Canton, I wish to extend my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to Alice C. Brown for addressing the recent disastrous mishandling of the Knights of Columbus building via town officials. That this building — so sadly languishing and much neglected as it already was — in dire need of numerous improvements […]
