Dear Editor,
The 'easy reach' of guns everywhere has forced us to think about arming ourselves. In truth, it's become an arms race with automatic weapons of mass destruction: our neighbor has guns, we don't trust our neighbor, therefore we need guns. This is a tight, logical argument.

Dear Editor:
On behalf of the Groton Lakes Association (GLA) I must thank the citizens of Groton for voting at the Special Town Meeting on Saturday in support of Article 1: Herbicide Treatment for Lost Lake/Kops Pond. I must also thank Mark Haddad for guiding us through the process for pulling the...
Dear Editor:
Much of the recent commentary and editorials on funding authorization for the new center fire station seemed to center on the need for a broader plebiscite. This then seemed to break down into those who thought the debt expense should be incurred outside the levy limit and those who...
Dear Editor,
I appreciate Paul Iannacci's letter to the editor entitled "Fully Armed Public Cannot Be Trusted". Really, enough is enough with the number of gun-related deaths we have here in the United States. There is a healthy public debate going on in our democracy since the massacre of 20...
Dear Editor:
I strongly urge residents to attend the town meeting Saturday, Jan. 26 at 9 a.m. to vote a resounding "NO" to fund the new fire station. Funding the millions of dollars to build this new fire station will cripple the town financially for years to come. We need to use this money to...

Dear Editor:
Mr. Rule Loving was kind enough to provide Selectmen and me with a copy of his Letter to the Editor that appears in this week's paper. It is his intent to propose an amendment to Article 3 at the Jan. 26 Special Town Meeting to require the debt service associated with the new Center...
Dear Editor:
Fitch's Bridge, in one form or another, had allowed people, horses and goods to cross Nashua River for perhaps 150 years, but a new sight appeared Sept. 8, 1892, a day of celebration in Brookline, NH, attended by Gov. Hiram A. Tuttle and 3,000 others. On that day, the Brookline and...
