Dear Editor: I recently resigned after three years and 11 months of volunteering at the Canton Public Library, once a week for a full day. While being at the library so frequently, I have come to know the staff, but more importantly, to observe this wonderful group of dedicated and selfless workers. The town of […]
Dear Editor: State Senator Brian Joyce took on the Judge Rotenberg Center recently by bad mouthing the founder of the center, Matthew Israel, its methods of controlling very emotionally disturbed children, and ranting on about cruel and abusive treatment by introducing legislation to ban skin shocks, a treatment approved by the parents of the children. […]
Dear Editor: I’d like to counter some of the biases published in two pieces that depicted the participation of the Canton Teachers Association at the June 16 School Committee Meeting: the letter from Ms. Schutt and the cover story by Mr. Berger. The headline to Mr. Berger’s story is fully biased and inaccurate; Ms. Schutt […]
Dear Editor: I’m writing to share my thoughts on the School Committee meeting held on Thursday, June 16. Concerned teachers and parents have watched in awe as a child desperate for relief from bullying is overlooked and left to seek relief in the form of suicide. School systems nationally and internationally have worked tirelessly to […]
Dear Editor: What the U.N. couldn’t do, what Mother Jones in 2007 couldn’t do, what the town of Canton wouldn’t do, what the Department of Justice may have helped with, Attorney General Martha Coakley has done.

Consequently, it seemed that everyone who participated thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Of course, this could not have […]
Dear Editor: I want to thank the Canton Post Office and employees and Canton residents and businesses who pitched in to make the May 14, 2011 National Association of Letter Carriers Stamp-Out Hunger Food Drive an overwhelming success. It is very gratifying to see the community and the Canton postal team working together to re-stock […]
Dear Editor: It’s hard to believe that it has been 10 years! The 10th annual Dean S. Luce Fun Run was held Sunday, May 1. Temperatures were sunny and comfortable, not like the oppressive heat we had last year. Everyone put their best effort in on both the Fun Run and 5K course. Teachers Sue […]
Dear Editor: On behalf of the entire Canton Knights of Columbus, the scholarship committee would like to thank everyone who attended “Comedy Knight.” We especially want to thank all the performers who so graciously gave their time and talents for our kids. To Chris Bert LeDuc, Frank Santorelli, Kenny Rogerson, Craig Murphy, Lenny Clarke and […]
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 […]
