Dear Editor: My wife and I purchased a home on Historical Way in the spring of 2010. We have enjoyed all that Canton has to offer, especially how welcomed we have been made to feel by our neighbors. We were astonished when we found out more recently that our street was not an accepted street […]
Dear Editor: On Saturday, April 14, the Canton and Randolph high school softball teams played in a doubleheader. The Canton players, parents, and alumni sold food and drink donated by the community, and the players and their families made baked goods. Their efforts raised several hundreds of dollars for two charities: Cops for Kids with […]
Dear Editor: Over several weeks’ time, Canton residents have received two separate mailings of oversized color postcards that take issue with photovoltaic solar panels being installed by a company that the town of Canton has leased land to. The land is located at the formerly unusable acreage of Canton’s old town dump site on Pine […]
Dear Editor: In recent weeks the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers union Local 103 has sent several misleading and factually incorrect brochures to the citizens of Canton purporting to contain “facts” about the Canton Landfill Solar Project. After you read the rest of this letter, I hope you will question the motivation of the electrical […]

A friend whose daughter is turning 13 asked me what I, as a banker, would recommend he and his wife could do to make sure she had solid “money/finance” confidence before she legally becomes an adult at 18. It’s a great question. Community bankers helping customers (of all ages!) work their way out of a […]
Dear MAC: I am writing in response to your recent opinion on the solar farm being constructed illegally in Canton. There is absolutely nothing political about any of our mailings, a point that is easily supported by the documentation we have publically provided and that is also found on our website (www.CantonSolarExposed.com). On January 19, […]
Dear Editor: Our town is being trashed with beer cans, bottles, and fast food wrappers. Properties along Cedar and Greenlodge streets in particular are littered with beer cans and boxes. The 16th hole at the Ponkapoag Golf Course is a sea of beer cans and liquor bottles. It is disheartening to know that some people in […]
