Did you know … Rabbi Navah L. Levine was recently appointed by Temple Beth Abraham of Canton as the congregation’s first female rabbi. 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 […]
Dear Editor: Can you imagine a student explaining to his parents that the 2 percent test grade just received wasn’t all that bad because someone else in the class had only scored 1 percent? This is essentially the argument put forth by Canton Selectman Avril Elkort in defending Canton’s abysmal voter turnout and why local […]
On September 11, 2001, men and women were going to work — like we are today — but little did they know it would be their last day on earth. It is quite possible that if there had been a struggle for the controls of one of those airplanes that left Logan Airport that morning, […]

Did you know … The popularity of three sports — golf, baseball, and softball — is rapidly declining. Golf participation in the United States has declined every year since 2003. Golf courses are closing after about 4,500 opened from 1990 through 2005. More shut down in 2013 than opened for the eighth straight year. Television […]
Dear Editor: As a former resident of Pleasant Street, I respectfully disagree with Joe DeFelice’s conclusion that the proposed roundabout would be “a waste of money” (Man About Canton, August 21). I have followed the controversy regarding a proposed roundabout in Oak Bluffs for the last five years. Every conceivable argument against it was raised […]
Dear Editor: I am deeply concerned about the proposed roundabout to be located at Pleasant Street, Bolivar Street, and Lincolnshire Drive. The town estimates this project will cost approximately $350,000. The town of Canton has framed this issue as one of public safety; however, vehicle accidents and pedestrian injuries are exceedingly rare events at this […]
