Letters
To The Editor,
In response to Brooks Lyman’s letter of last week, I wish to touch on the issue of who was intended to be included in the Declaration of Independence’s phrase “All men are created equal…”. (Note that the word “men” is not capitalized in the Declaration, although Brooks capitalized...
To the Editor:
I wonder how many Groton residents have visited the Groton Senior Center located in a quiet, lightly trafficked area in West Groton. If you visit you will notice a flight of stairs into the building, as well as a long ramp with a turn. If you were there in the winter, you might be...
To the Editor:
With warm temperatures in the forecast and the recent rainfall, female turtles, between eight and 20 years of age, will be crossing roads to their nesting sites.
Turtles have been waiting in the cold for warm temperatures to heat their “cold blooded” reptile metabolisms enough to...

Dear Editor,
Last week’s editorial where the editor applies his spin to the failure of question 2 at town election overlooks some important distinctions and reveals one of the underlying reasons the question was defeated, i.e. confusion. Question 2 was not asking voter approval of a $5 - $6 million...
To The Editor,
On at least three different recent occasions I have been quoted by the Groton Herald in regards to my position of the senior center relocating to the Prescott School.
As the Director of the Council on Aging my chief responsibility is to advocate for the needs of Groton’s seniors,...
Dear Editor,
It seems the old adage: “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways . . .” is alive and well in Groton. With boulders placed here, there and everywhere proclaiming ‘All Are Welcome.’
But now some are saying, “This is too dangerous to put on a stone.” How about the murderers, rapists,...
Dear Editor,
It was sad, last night at the Selectmen’s Meeting during the discussion of the “All are Welcome” markers, to hear Stuart Schulman apologizing for the Founder’s use of the generic “men” in the Declaration of Independence: “We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are...
