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 […]
Dear Editor: Once again Canton seniors are grateful to Attorney Glen Hannington for sponsoring a large birthday party for Walter, who turned 88. Attorney Glen Hannington has a big heart for all people, but especially seniors. Also, thanks to Center Pizza — especially Helen — for donating pizzas; they are always willing to give. The […]

Dear Editor: Elizabeth Warren came to Canton recently to speak in the Route 138 area. Not one member of our Democratic Town Committee was there to help us greet her. Why? Disgusted by Scott Brown’s mischaracterization of himself as a good ol’ boy voting for the common man, when he has consistently voted against their […]
Dear Editor: This past Sunday, the First Parish Unitarian Universalist Church in Canton welcomed longtime activist William Baird, of Eisenstadt v. Baird Supreme Court decision fame.

The first game will be played at home on Friday, September 7, at 7 p.m. against last year’s Division II Super Bowl winner, Dennis/Yarmouth, followed by a game at Quincy High School on Friday, […]
This summer has been all about change, and I have to be honest: I don’t like it. It’s one thing if you’ve initiated change, but when it’s been thrust upon you it’s not usually something that you wished for. From something as small as having your supermarket rearranged so that you now spend all your […]
Dear Editor: Heading into the new school year, the Canton High School Athletic Booster Club has a strong infrastructure in place. The club has done a tremendous job of supporting CHS athletes during its short history. We are excited about the future and our continued growth. 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 […]
