I thought I would let you know that on July 3 I was out in my canoe and observed what appeared to be an unusual and unprecedented “release” from the wastewater outlet located just up the river from our dock, as you head toward the H&V facility.
The velocity at which the water was gushing...
Last week's Groton Herald article on the history of Groton's largest water body was excellent. However, there was one mistake which may confuse readers.
Fiske's dam, identified as being constructed at "the narrowest point of the meadow" is actually number 3 on the map, not number 2. And later...
I call it the mystery of the senior center kitchen.
On one of my early visits to our new senior center I was surprised to find a gleaming well-equipped kitchen was a major part of the new facility. Later, when I went for my volunteer interview at "The Center," cooking/baking was my first choice...
This letter is in response to the article in the July 18, 2025, edition of the Groton Herald entitled “Town Clerk, Dawn Dunbar, Resigns”. There were many comments made about the Town Charter changes that failed to pass at the Spring Town Meeting. I would like to address that topic.

The Groton Hill Music Center has responded to the Planning Board's letter regarding lighting issues, prompting board members to praise the collaborative tone of the correspondence.
At the June 12 Planning Board meeting, member Russ Burke said he would "thank Lisa (Fiorentino) and Groton Hill for...
We Grotonians are so fortunate to have the Fire Department, Police Department and Groton Electric staff that we all depend on.
Yesterday was a prime example! Around noon time my wife Carole and I were leaving for an appointment in Nashua, New Hampshire and our electric power went out and our...
In addition to the health and financial risks of tearing down the West Groton Dam, there is another side of this story that’s being overlooked: the lost opportunity for clean energy, expanded recreation, and long-term ecological balance.
The dam was originally constructed in the early 20th...
It is not often in life that one gets a second chance to correct a previous mistake. Fortunately, Groton has a second chance. Having failed to pass the desperately needed school override ballot question by a mere 30 votes, or less than one percent of the vote, we now have a second opportunity to...
