Did you know … The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) projects a 10 percent decline in spending for home heating oil this winter. Oil prices remain depressed around the world and nearly 20 percent of homes in the northeast rely on oil furnaces for their heating source. According to the EIA, spending for propane is projected to grow 14 percent […]
Fellow Citizens: I really don’t understand what some of us are so angry about. I urge you to think about how the president has been deftly leading us into a true V-shaped recovery: While the above was penned with tongue in cheek, the graph clearly illustrates our critical need for real leadership. We need Joe […]
Dear Editor: As a conservative, I find myself with virtually no platform for speech. Conservatives have often been censored from Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and many newspapers and news outlets. Google manipulates its search results through programming that sends conservative links to the back of the queue or blocks them entirely, while promoting liberal-leaning results on […]

It is moving forward with plans to lease 25 acres of forest and farmland to a commercial solar development company. If the project proceeds, the lease will last for 20 years.

Ann is one of my favorite people in Canton. She has launched many a young reader with kind enthusiasm over the years. For my two daughters she has been an inspiration, especially […]
Dear Editor: I disagree with 100 percent of MAC’s column “Politics in America.” Polling shows a substantial majority of all Americans, including a majority of white Americans, support the Black Lives Matter movement, which is why even institutions like NASCAR (hardly renowned for being “woke”) are making changes. It is the minority with MAC’s antediluvian […]
Dear Editor: When my family moved to Canton in 2006 for the wonderful schools, we didn’t know that we were joining a wonderful community as well. Canton is a proud community with strong traditions and a willingness to help any neighbor in need. I remember my mother’s first impression when she accompanied us to a […]
Dear Editor: We take a brisk evening walk to the very end of Farnham & Connolly Park on Neponset Street every evening. It has been an excellent alternative since our gyms closed in mid-March.
