Dear Chief Doody: I am writing to extend our sincere gratitude to the town of Canton Fire Department and EMT group for their assistance in a medical emergency in our home. On Friday, September 14, we were enjoying a normal, lovely afternoon. Out of the blue my husband experienced sudden excruciating pain, could not move, […]
The York Street Neighborhood Association wants to thank Mike Trotta, Danny Teague, Bill Walsh, and the rest of the DPW staff for the fabulous job they did in the York Street area recently.

We feel very fortunate to have these two most important responders […]
Dear Editor: I am hoping that your fine hometown newspaper is not going to be used for political partisan ranting. Your most recent edition presented us with an extremely partisan woman who indulged in the worst level of politics. Her vindictiveness and name calling doesn’t belong in this town, and I actually feel sorry for this woman […]

There is a core group of individuals in leadership […]
Dear Editor: On Monday, August 6, we said our goodbyes to “Chester,” our beloved 12-year-old yellow lab. Chester suffered from deteriorating arthritis, was in constant pain and had started having “collapses,” despite strong pain medication and all the love we had. Our family is writing now to express our deepest gratitude to the Canton Veterinarian […]
