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 […]
DID YOU KNOW … According to Osram Sylvania, one of the largest headlight makers in the world (they are right here in Massachusetts), they are now making the average halogen highlight 40 to 70 percent brighter today than 20 years ago.

Dear Editor: I would like to alert residents about the presence of aggressive coyotes in Canton. Around 7 a.m. on Sunday morning, February 12, while jogging along Elm Street toward Greenlodge Street, I was stalked by two large coyotes accompanied by a smaller one. I yelled at them, tossed sticks and a bottle, but they […]
