Dear Editor:
The Tax Payers Alliance has more info on improving town meeting. A two or three percent turnout at town meeting of 7,000 registered voters is a poor showing. In an effort to improve this, we would like to suggest a toll free number for voters to call, with a caller I.D. package to...

The NRA is an unusual organization. After their efforts of the past 10, 20, or 30 years, and now that the public at large is well armed, the NRA is telling us we need armed security to protect us and our children from what they have accomplished.
Whether you own a gun or not, I want...

As a lifelong equestrian, I see this project as a dream fulfilled for both the...
Dear Editor,
If we have a severe weather emergency, take a minute to check on your neighbors (especially the ones that live alone), and make sure they're okay and have everything they need. If you feel that somebody may be unsafe, call the Groton Police. They will do a "wellness check" to make...
Dear Editor:
As 2012 draws to a close and we look forward to the New Year and the changes and challenges ahead, town meeting changes will be part of the conversation. Conversations have already included thoughts like we must preserve town meeting. What does this mean? The town's early founders did...
Dear Editor,
We want to express our gratitude to all those who donated toys to our Toys for Tots drive. We collected a record number of toys this year, and because of the generosity of our practice members and residents of Groton and our local communities, dozens of children will experience the...
