Looking back on my youngest daughter’s wedding, I realize that much drama centered on her dress. Buying the dress turned out to be relatively simple. When Mariel was still in grad school in Arizona she and a good friend went shopping and came home the same day with a dress. No muss, no fuss — […]
Dear Editor: The United Church of Christ in Canton sends heartfelt thanks to the Canton Fire and Police departments for their rapid response to the dumpster fire on our church grounds late Tuesday night, June 3.

Canton would become the first […]
Dear Editor: I wanted to take a moment to recognize the commitment that the town officials of Canton have to the well being of the town. As many of you know, town meeting can be a very contentious time as boards work hard to present their views of our best course of action as a […]
Dear Editor: I’d like to thank the people who stood in support of moving Canton’s local elections from April to November. Frankly, things looked grim going in to town meeting.
