Dear Editor:
Groton Police Association in partnership with the Groton Council on Aging hosted its Annual Senior Cookout on Wednesday, June 11, 2014. This year the Groton Pool & Golf Center afforded a more spacious venue for the cookout. This event would not be possible without the generous...
Dear Editor:
Open Letter to the Groton Board of Selectmen.
Is it time to update the name of your Board and the title of present and future female members?
Some years ago our former Congressman Marty Meehan was succeeded by Nicole Tsongas, a woman, who right away was addressed as Congresswoman...
Dear Groton Community Members, Family, and Friends,
Recently, Engine and Hose Company 1 Association hosted a Touch-A-Truck and Car Wash at Center Fire Station on Station Avenue. We had a record-breaking day for attendance and fundraising, and could not have done it without all of your support....

Dear Editor:
In 2013 Groton got 44 percent of its electricity from carbon-free nuclear reactors; up from 40 percent in 2012. Without this contribution from nuclear we would be stuck with making up the 44 percent from carbon-emitting fossil fuels. On the other side of the coin, if we had twice the...
Dear Editor:
Many people have asked, "Will the gas pipeline, if close enough to my house, devalue my property?" Given our real estate experience, we will attempt to answer that question. There are many types of denumerations. (1) Visual - since the pipeline is buried out of view, this does not...
Dear Editor,
I have to say that Selectman Petropoulos is correct: holding a Special Town Meeting to discuss and vote on a non-binding resolution in opposition to the proposed gas is a waste of town money. In addition, the fact that the majority of the Board of Selectmen voted to hold the STM...
