David Bakke, writing for the Money Crashers personal finance blog, says he “cannot think of a single instance where purchasing an extended warranty is a good idea.” With one exception (which I will get to at the end of this column), I’d say Bakke has it exactly right. And extended warranties — also known as […]

The 10K and 5K runs start simultaneously at 10 a.m., while the one-mile fun run starts at 9:45 a.m. at Temple Beth Abraham at 1301 Washington Street in Canton. Race founders Rich […]
Dear Editor: As a resident of Wall Street in Canton, I am signed up for all of the town-wide emergency notifications, both by phone and email. On Thursday, October 9, there was apparently some blasting that occurred in the town. I had no knowledge of this. When I got home that day, my dog watcher […]
Dear Editor: The American Beverage Association, a group based in Washington, D.C., that represents big beverage companies, has already spent $5 million to defeat Question 2 in November. That is an outrageous amount of money from an outside group swooping in to buy our votes. They are only interested in their profit margins, not our […]

It is quite curious and suspicious that the group would settle upon a club name whose acronym was synonymous with the notorious Ku Klux Klan, a post-Civil War […]

She graduated from Yale with a BA in economics and political science and received her rabbinic ordination and a master’s degree in Judaic studies from the Hebrew College Rabbinical School in Newton.

To all friends in Canton: We would like to thank all of you who have supported our family and shown such incredible thoughtfulness and compassion for Bill and Billy Cravens. Both men deeply loved this town and would be so proud and touched by the outpouring of support since their passing. The seat dedicated to […]
Last week in our September 18 edition, the Canton Citizen ran a story entitled “Images on Glass,” part of the True Tales from Canton’s Past series written by local historian George T. Comeau. The story focused on a photography club that was formed in the late 19th century in Canton — a group that called […]
Dear Editor: I just read your article on the Canton Camera Club (“Images on Glass” by George Comeau, September 18). I don’t know what world you live in, but in my world there is nothing poetic or historically positive about anything with the initials KKK. For you to think that printing that article and not […]
