Dear Citizens of Groton:
I would like to announce my candidacy for re-election to the Select Board. I am humbled to have served you as your Selectman for over 12 years. A lot of accomplishments have been achieved since I was first elected. There have been many successes along this curvy country...
To The Editor,

My wife and I would like to express our sincere gratitude to Chief McCurdy and the other crew members of the Groton Fire Department for extinguishing a chimney fire at our house on Main Street Monday afternoon (4/1). We had been heating with wood only and were working down our...
Dear Editor:
