Dear Editor: We want to extend a huge thank you to the Ricky 27 Foundation. The foundation contributed a grant that made it possible for one of our field hockey players, Cady Kelly, to participate with our club field hockey team in the National Field Hockey Festival in Virginia this past summer. With their help, Cady was able […]
DID YOU KNOW … The stock market recorded losses for four straight weeks in the month of August. In fact, the Dow Jones Industrial Average had 10 days of more than a 100-point movement up and down (mostly down). If you ask MAC, the U.S. economy is headed toward a recession. The weak economy is […]
Sometimes I fool myself into thinking that I’ve got life all worked out, figured out, and straightened out. Then suddenly I can’t dry my hair or have my morning coffee, can’t turn on the computer to check my mail, can’t even open the garage door to get my car out. When the electricity is off […]
Dear Editor: This is a note to the community at large. We wish to extend our thanks to Kramer Jewelers, Reebok, and LensCrafters for their generous support to Maxim and Denis from Clincy, Russia.

I recently saw on television the results of a poll in which the majority of college-age Americans […]
Dear Editor: It was an honor and a privilege to have been associated with Mac MacGregor in the practice of law for over 30 years in Canton. Mac was a brilliant lawyer, a wise and judicious town moderator and selectman, a devoted family man, a skilled pilot, a joy to his many friends and acquaintances, […]
Writers have more places to express themselves today than in all history — from online newspapers to blogs. But with all the opportunity and formats to express ideas, and with our country and with local communities like Canton facing so many problems, why is the writing so banal? Online columns read like personal diary entries, […]
DID YOU KNOW … The main sticking point in the Canton school teachers’ contract negotiations with the School Committee is the proposed restructuring of the salary scale that would double the number of years (from 12 to 24) that a teacher would have to complete in order to reach the top of the pay scale.

Dear Editor: Thank you everyone for such a wonderful evening at our end of summer pool party. We had over 70 Canton kids in sixth, seventh and eighth grades attend the event, which was held at the town pool on Bolivar Street. This event would not have been possible without the youth commissioners in attendance. […]
