Dear Editor: On Friday, March 9, the Canton Alliance for Public Education (CAPE) held its eighth annual Gala to Celebrate Public Education in Canton at the Brookmeadow Country Club.

Dear Editor: The Dean S. Luce Canton Association of Parents and Teachers (CAPT) would like to take this opportunity to thank all of those who made our March 10 annual carnival a success.

DID YOU KNOW … As MAC is out of town in Florida, this week’s column will consist of facts and information contained in Canton’s History and Demographic Report, which is full of basic town information that you may or may not know but should. For instance, today’s Canton was originally part of the large colonial […]
Dear Editor: I read with dismay about the most recent serious accident on York Street and certainly hope for a speedy recovery for those involved. Those of us who live on or near York Street and travel it several times a day are all too aware that not a week goes by without an accident […]
