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.

In Canton, citizens can take their old Christmas trees to the town facility on Pine Street; however, an annual pass costs $10.

Dear Editor: On Monday afternoon I opened my mailbox and found a multi-colored candy cane with a hand-printed note taped to it. It was first hand-printed on paper and then cut out to form the words “nice lights,” referring of course to my Christmas lights. It was a very nice and heartwarming surprise. It made […]
