Dear Editor,
Even though we moved from Groton in March 2015, and had lived there since 1986, it has been difficult to monitor the continued financial friction between the Town and the School District. Fortunately, freedom of the press does not have zip code requirements.
One element that has...
To the Editor,
I would like to add to your article covering the NEEDS assessment for the Groton Dunstable School District most recently released to the community. I feel that it is important for the taxpayers/voters to understand that our possible need for an override is not a school related...
Dear Editor
The outpouring of support we recently received from the community was astounding! When we learned that our turkey allocation for Thanksgiving from the Greater Boston Food Bank was going to be cut in half, we were more than a little concerned. We should have known that the community...
Dear Editor:
We would like to comment on the Nov. 30th Selectmen's meeting. The Chairman seems to object to the term - probation - used in connection of renewing the Town Manager's contract for one more year.

Politics at all levels -...

The foreign exchange student I'm hosting left his clarinet at the Groton-Dunstable High School practice soccer field on Saturday Oct. 31.
He noticed it missing the following Sunday and confirmed with other soccer players that it was indeed left behind at the field. I've reported the...
Dear Editor:
I am so delighted to know that others have been annoyed by the word, "sustainability". Changing the word to happiness does not alleviate the problem, since the real problem here is one of even thinking that the people of Groton need someone to supply them with an emotion. It is real...
Dear Editor:
Regarding the Conservation Commission holding $700,000 of taxpayer money to buy land, we feel this puts the Commission in the real estate business. They then lease the land back to farmers. They should be concerned with preserving rare species and the proper use of vacant land, as it...
Dear Editor,
John Ellenberger's defense of the "new new math" as proposed in the Common Core curriculum is disingenuous (See article in Nov. 6 issue of The Groton Herald). We have gone through several "new math" approaches, and none of them seems to be creating a huge crop of engineers and...
