Thoughts from a Lake Dweller on Groton's Fall Town Meeting
Dear Editor:
I am a resident of Lost Lake and I have been lax in attending Groton's town meetings. Moving forward, though, that will not be the case as Monday night's meeting was quite the eye opener.
Most of the evening centered on...
To the Editor:
A long time ago, my father told me there were no guarantees in life (other than death and taxes, of course). And, with time, I've come to agree with that sage observation, with one exception. Hurricane Sandy did a real number on our ability to complete the work called for by the...
Dear Editor,
I don't know about the rest of the town, but I got through Hurricane Sandy with no problems except a little water in the basement, which happens every large rainstorm anyway. GELD seems to have done a good job of making sure the power lines were as hurricane-proof as possible, and for...
Dear Editor:
My heartfelt thanks go out to the Groton Grange for their willingness to help others. I have twice been the concert producer for the jazz quintet Brass Joy, once in 2011 and just now last Friday evening. Each time, we raised money to give away. The first was for the Groton Dunstable...

Dear Editor,
Soggy weather couldn't dampen the spirits of the hundreds of people who came out to support public education in our communities at the Groton Dunstable Education Foundation's 3rd annual Octoberfest 5K: Road Race, Walk & Kids Run, October 14 at Larter Field, Dunstable. We're happy...
Dear Editor,
Question 2 on the ballot is a life or death question about whether to legalize physician assisted suicide for people with a progonosis of less than six months to live. While none of us likes to watch anyone suffer, this initiative is seriously flawed. It lacks proper safeguards and a...
Dear current and former Florence Roche Elementary School families,
A group of concerned parents came together last week to write a petition to reinstate the third grade field trip to Plimoth Plantation and the Mayflower II. So far we have collected more than 40 signatures on a paper version. I am...
