Dear Editor: I am a graduate social work student from Bridgewater State University and a Canton resident. As a social work student, I am learning to analyze policies and how they affect individuals and communities. In 2012, Canton made changes to their school lunches to comply with the state’s new nutritional standards for foods and […]
Dear Canton residents: I bet you’ve seen it, but have you heard the new rotary? I live right next to it, and believe me, I hear it 24/7. Overnight, the rotary has turned my sweet neighborhood into a loud and tense place to live. How will you know if you’ve heard the rotary? Listen for […]
MAC recently took a walking trip around the Ponkapoag Golf Course (before the blizzards) and was surprised to see the work being done to fully restore the course back to its original 36 holes. The Department of Conservation and Recreation is investing $2.1 million to restore nine holes that have been closed since 2003 due […]

Dear Editor: I don’t think we actually realize how great it is to live near a city that has world-renowned hospitals and medical care; to live in a town where deer are in your backyard; where you have traffic “engineers” who must own auto body shops. About 10 years ago, I read a study that […]
Dear Editor: I saw a link to your debut column Four Legged Friends on Facebook and read the article. I wanted to tell you I enjoyed reading it and love the idea of a regular animal-related column. Susan Scheide’s story was entertaining and I just had to read it to the end. Keep up the […]
I’m not a winter woman. The cold, the dark, the endless nights — not for me. When I was a child I loved winter because I loved playing in the snow. I can still see the mountains of ice on the New York City streets looming higher than our building. We would climb them thrilled […]
For too many people, saving sounds boring. Like they’re not going to have any fun … now or ever. That is absolutely wrong. Most of the people who think saving is boring usually end up in debt. Since incomes tend to be steady and expenses tend to rise, it can be a real temptation to […]
