Dear Editor: Kudos to the DPW for snow removal after the big storm last week. However, the sidewalks on Beaumont/Sherman Street towards the Canton Junction train station were not shoveled or plowed. That is so dangerous! All commuters have to walk in the street! With the slippery roads, that is just an accident waiting to […]
Did you know … MAC recently received an interesting call from Dr. Nelson Batchelder, and with his permission, MAC shares his story. When the town demolished the old Elijah Morse mansion on Washington Street back in the 1950s to make way for the new Canton High School, Dr. Batchelder and Phil Nutt, the caretaker of […]
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 […]

The Canton Citizen is pleased to announce the debut of Four Legged Friends, a new animal column by Canton resident Susan Scheide. The column will appear monthly in print and in our new e-edition. My dog has more exciting dreams than I do, of that I am sure. After all, as a professional athlete, he […]
Did you know … James Halley, Class of 1961, president of the Canton High School Alumni Association, is asking CHS alumni to support their annual fundraising efforts by contributing to the only legitimate 501c(3) nonprofit organization for Canton High School. For a tax-deductible contribution, make a check payable to Canton High School Alumni Association and […]
Dear Editor: I was surprised to see a letter to the editor published in the December 31 edition of the Canton Citizen in which the writer referenced a “firestorm of criticism” for the roundabout on Pleasant Street. Perhaps those of us — and I am sure there are many — who are grateful for the changes in […]
Dear Fellow Community Member: If you fall asleep at night without worrying that you may be a victim of a home invasion or a stolen motor vehicle when you wake up in the morning, then please display a blue candle. If you are grateful for the fact that upon hearing a noise in your basement, […]
