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 […]
Did you know … There are over 3,000 dams holding back a lot of water in Massachusetts, and most of them are not only privately owned but are also in poor condition and need extensive repairs, which will cost, according to the state, an estimated $40 million. In Canton, we have more than 10 dams, […]
Dear Editor: What’s in a name? I finished the article Images on Glass by George Comeau published September 18 with much skepticism about the Kanton Kamera Klub. 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 […]
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 10th annual Reebok/Canton Road Race will be held on Sunday, October 5, starting and ending at the Reebok campus off Royal Street in Canton. This year’s race, which has a 7:15 a.m. registration time, will feature a 5k and a 10k, a one-mile wheelchair race, and a one-mile fun run […]
