High school and prep school senior boys and girls basketball players will have their final opportunity to shine in front of local fans March 25 in the “Ray Brousseau” Putnam Rotary Club All Star Basketball Shoot-Out.  The games are scheduled for the Putnam High School gymnasium.  The women’s contest will tipoff at 6 p.m. followed by the men’s game.

Admission for the evening is $3 for adults and $1 for students and senior citizens.  Complimentary refreshments will be provided courtesy of the Putnam Rotary Club.

The “Ray Brousseau” all-star game has been organized by the Putnam Rotary Club for more than two decades.  The contest, which features players from 13 local schools, honors the memory of. Brousseau who was a Putnam Rotarian for more than six decades.  A local businessman, who owned the Church Clothing Co. in Putnam, he was a supporter of youth and high school sports through his lifetime.  

Mr. Brousseau was proud of his perfect attendance record in Rotary, which spanned 41 consecutive years.  He lived the motto of Rotary, which is “Service Above Self.”  He was the Putnam Rotary Club president in 1941 and was honored for his service with the prestigious Paul Harris Fellow Award.

“This evening gives our Rotary Club an opportunity to pause and remember Mr. Brousseau for all he did in our community and for his love of sports.  It’s also our way of honoring local high school and prep school girls and boys for their accomplishments on the hardwood,” said Willie Bousquet, organizer of the contest.

Male and female players representing Plainfield, Killingly, Ellis Tech, Griswold, Putnam, Tourtellotte, Woodstock, Marianapolis, Hyde-Woodstock, Pomfret School, Parish Hill, Windham Tech and Putnam Science Academy have been invited to attend.  Expected to be on hand are such luminaries as Kaevon Safford, Mike Jezierski, Ryan Pambuku, Cynthia Briere, Makenzie Kaylor, John McGinn, Trent Peters, Mike Bourgeois, Nick Hewitt, Liz Rondeau, Jill Bodreau, Jordan Butler, Anthony Durham, Kara Thibodeau,  Kenny Grant, Jalen Terry and many others.

The games are sponsored by WINY Radio, Benpe Sales and Consulting, The Byrnes Agency, Putnam Bank, The Citizens National Bank and Archambault Insurance Associates.  

“We’re encouraging fellow students, parents, friends and basketball lovers to come out for the game.  The evening promises to provide some good basketball and plenty of entertainment,” said Bousquet.

Working with Bousquet on the organizing committee are Rotarians Henry Doughty,  Jay Wade, Rachael Johnston, Paul Pikora, Doug Valentine, Richard Naumann, Jay Byrnes and Doug Porter.

 

 

 

LEGAL NOTICE

Algonquin Gas Transmission, LLC

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

Docket No. CP14-96-000

Notice is hereby given that Algonquin Gas Transmission, LLC (“Algonquin”), on February 28, 2014, filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) an application, pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (“Application”) to construct, own, operate and maintain proposed facilities necessary to provide up to 342,000 dekatherms per day (“Dth/d”) of firm transportation service to meet immediate and future supply and load growth requirements for Yankee Gas Services Company, NSTAR Gas Company, Connecticut Natural Gas Corporation, The Southern Connecticut Gas Company, The Narragansett Electric Company d/b/a National Grid, Colonial Gas Company d/b/a National Grid, Boston Gas Company d/b/a National Grid, Bay State Gas Company d/b/a Columbia Gas of Massachusetts, Inc., Norwich Public Utilities, and Middleborough Gas and Electric.  The project is referred to as the Algonquin Incremental Market Project (the “Project”) and will create additional capacity from the Ramapo, New York receipt point on Algonquin’s system to various Algonquin city gate delivery points in Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts by expanding its existing pipeline and compressor station facilities within New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts.  Specifically, Algonquin proposes project facilities that will consist of the following activities in those states: the construction of approximately 37.6 miles of take-up & relay, loop and lateral pipeline facilities; modifications to five existing compressor stations resulting in the addition of 81,620 horsepower of compression; modifications to 24 existing metering and regulating (“M&R”) stations; construction of three new M&R stations, and the removal of one existing M&R station.  These proposed Project facilities will provide additional access to growing supply areas, which should provide the Northeast markets with additional economic supplies of natural gas.  

Algonquin will need to acquire permanent and temporary property interests from a limited number of landowners for the proposed facilities. The Project is expected to have minimal impacts on landowners, communities and the environment. 

Notice of the Application will be mailed to affected landowners, and local, state and federal governments and agencies involved in the Project.  An electronic copy of the Application and supporting documents are on-file in the public libraries and/or local offices in communities impacted by the aforementioned facilities.
