Dear Editor: Joe DeFelice wrote about how the Boston Herald reporter Joe Battenfeld commented that Republicans in the Massachusetts legislature are “virtually silenced into submission,” primarily due to the strong Democratic Party controls. What a shame! The party of fake tolerance and diversity (Democrat) allows no dissent or even discussion. It’s either their way or the […]
Dear Editor: On Sunday, residents of Lawrence, North Andover, and Andover were able to return home to no gas but electricity, after having been expelled from their homes for three days following the rash of explosions and fires that rocked the area last week. So what if the workers who ‘turned their gas off’ are […]
Dear Editor: Question 1 on the November ballot will not empower nurses; it would strip nurses of their professional autonomy. If this bill passes, nurses will not have the ability to create flexible staffing assignments tailored to meet patients’ care needs as it calls for rigid adherence to the mandated ratio at all times, without […]
Dear Editor: Flying the American flag at half-mast after the death until the burial of a national leader is a discretionary act. And, the discretionary actions we take or do not take during life reveal the most about the quality of our inner character. Once again we have been offered incontrovertible proof of how small, […]
Dear Editor: Jimmy Fund Golf extends its sincerest thanks to the organizers and sponsors of the H.T. Berry Open held on August 13 at Brookmeadow Country Club in Canton. Special recognition and appreciation goes to Chris Nolan of Canton and Jane Busconi of Milton, who organized the 14th annual event. The H.T. Berry Open is […]
Dear Editor: In respectful response to Alice Brown’s letter, I would like to point out that sometimes “Silence is golden.” Although there are times when we must indeed speak up, the mature adult measures those moments carefully and determines whether the outcome will be worth the outburst. In these contentious days of extreme incivility and […]
Dear Editor: “Silence condones” — our eighth grade teacher’s challenge to the evil of segregation. And today we have the same disgusting silence where we are following Germany’s lead in 1933. As detailed in Erick Larson’s In the Garden of Beasts, “Beneath the surface … Germany had undergone a rapid and sweeping revolution that reached deep into […]
Dear Editor: I’d like to thank the Canton community for its overwhelming support of the Canton Rainbow Project, where we asked residents and businesses to fly the rainbow flag during June for Pride Month as a symbol of support for our LGBTQ friends, family members and neighbors in Canton and elsewhere. I’m proud to say […]
Dear Editor: I was not offended by Reverend Tamilio’s thoughtful letter to the editor in last week’s Canton Citizen. On the contrary, I appreciated the sentiment that it is time for Americans to abandon the vitriolic nature of today’s political dialogue to rediscover decency. We seem trapped in an endless loop of insult these days, […]
Dear Editor: I would like to take this opportunity to thank all who were involved in making the Canton High School All-Night Graduation Party a success. Not only did we have a core group of dedicated parents and school administrators who structured the party, but we received tremendous support from so many in the community. […]
