Canton bank celebrates 135 years in the community

Canton Co-operative Bank is marking 135 years in Canton while recognizing employees and directors whose service stretches across decades. The bank was founded in 1891, according to a community announcement, and has continued operating under its original name. President and CEO Nick Maffeo, a Canton native, said its original mission focused on helping local residents buy homes. “In 1891, the first president of Canton Co-operative - Ephraim Thorndike - promised that Canton Co-operative would be the ‘easiest and safest place to borrow’ with the goal of helping local people get ‘homes, happiness and independence.’ Today we still help local people buy homes, and much more,” Maffeo said. Canton Co-operative is an independent mutual community bank rather than a stock bank. “Customers come first with us, not stockholders or Wall Street,” Maffeo said. Longtime Canton Co-operative employees recognized The bank is recognizing several current and former employees for their years of service. Deborah “Debby” Kreusch began working at Canton Co-operative in 1976 in a temporary summer teller position. Kreusch later served in several operational positions before becoming bank president in 1991. Kreusch served as president until 2014 and is now chair of the bank’s board of directors.

After losing to BU on Friday, men’s basketball secures first win at Lehigh on Sunday

The men’s basketball team (1-2, 0-0 Ivy) hosted Boston University (2-1, 0-0 Patriot) Friday night in the Pizzitola Sports Center. In an eerily similar fashion to their loss to the University of New Hampshire last week, a first-half lead for Bruno vanished late in the game after BU seized the lead and claimed a 72-67 victory. But on Sunday afternoon at Lehigh University (1-2, 0-0 Patriot), the Bears finally redeemed themselves when 14 points from forward N’famara Dabo ’27 led them to a 65-55 win.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND — Providence voters overwhelmingly approved a ballot measure requiring the city to avoid investments connected to countries profiting from what the measure describes as genocide, apartheid, ethnic cleansing or prolonged military occupation, making Providence the second U.S. city to adopt an Israel-divestment policy by popular vote. The measure passed with roughly 75% support, according to The Guardian . Organizers said the campaign was designed to force divestment from companies and financial instruments connected to Israel, including investments they argue contribute to the war in Gaza and the occupation of Palestinian territories. Providence for Palestine began with about 40 volunteers and eventually built a much larger field operation. The coalition collected more than 10,000 signatures, knocked on roughly 17,000 doors, made 18,000 phone calls and said it spoke with tens of thousands of residents before Election Day. ( theguardian.com ) (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Organizers included local chapters of Jewish Voice for Peace, Democratic Socialists of America, the American Federation of Teachers and American Muslims for Palestine. The result follows a similar divestment vote in Somerville, Massachusetts, and comes as public opinion toward Israel’s conduct in Gaza has become more critical. An
