Dear Canton voters: I ask that you support approval of the Community Preservation Act (CPA) on Election Day, April 3. As a member of the Canton Historical Commission, I have a particular interest in using CPA funds to finance historic preservation projects. To be clear, the views expressed in this letter are mine, rather than […]

The last time we bought a new mattress was during the Norman Invasion. We didn’t have many choices back then; it was straw or straw as I recall. So when I told Steve last week that I believed that the reason I was waking up every morning sore and achy was not because a squirrel […]
Dear Editor: This is a long overdue thank you to express our deepest gratitude to Brian and Kirsten Fitzgerald of Dockray & Thomas Funeral Home. Fifteen years ago this month, we lost our sweet baby girl Angelica to a horrific disease called spinal muscular atrophy. She was just shy of nine months old. We numbingly […]
