About this website

Friday January 25, 2008

This website is a database of local news stories written by the staff here at The Canton Independent-Sentinel as well as a group of third-party contributors.  By-lines are given whenever an article has been contributed by a third party, however by-lines are removed from articles contributed by our staff.  These articles should be considered property of The Canton Independent-Sentinel.

This site was built using a database template created by Jake Howlett of CodeStore.net, and installed by Matthew S. Cooper of ConnectMyTown.com.  While this database template has been modified greatly from its original state, in the interest of the principles of open-source, we would like to give credit where credit is due.  Thanks Jake.

Website content, including articles, photos, and weekly section headers, is uploaded and managed by lifelong Canton resident Skylar Wilcox.  Articles are uploaded after the paper has gone on sale, but can be accessed from any computer for free, and feature color photos.

This website is searchable for your convenience.  Simply place your search query in the search box located on nearly every page and click "GO!!".  Our goal is to put you within one click from what you seek, provided that what you seek has been in the headlines in Canton, Pennsylvania.

Feel free to comment on many of the articles posted here.  Post your opinion as you see fit.  You don't have to agree with us, that's the beauty of it.  We only require that you keep it clean.  Abusive behavior or objectionable content will not be tolerated.  We're confident that our community neighbors will adhere to these guidlines purely by habit.  This town is full of good people.

We are very excited about our new presence on the world wide web and we would like to thank you for visiting.  We hope that you return often.  If you have ideas about what you'd like to see here or if you'd like to subscribe to our newsstand edition, please click the "Contact Us" link located at the top of every page.

Happy Surfing!

This is a nice addition to the community and a great way for those of us that have moved away to keep up with current events. You need to add an "About Us" page to give the staff a place to introduce themselves and take pride in what they do in keeping this small informative paper running. I am also surprised that there are very few comments to the articles, with this type of site I had expected more opinions, but I am sure over time it will come. GOOD JOB! keep it up.
