It is sponsored by the Putnam Business Association, the Town of Putnam (Highway Department and Parks and Rec Department), and The Last Green Valley. Prize winners, from the top: Lucas Barnes - Best Youth Volunteer. Pam Rodgers - Most Spirited Volunteer. Boy Scout Troops 66 and 25 and Cub Scout Pack 21 - Most Spirited Group and The Kaliszewski family - Most Fun/Unusual (they found a take-out window - without a building attached - behind Price Chopper).
The first Tri-State Cruisers Classic Car Club's cruise of the season. Close to 300 cars took part, serenaded by '50s tunes. And a special award was given out. See page 1.
The semiannual Prescription Drug Takeback pulled in 171 pounds, according to Putnam Police Captain Justin Lussier. He added that the station averages 30 to 40 pounds per week in the drop box at the station's lobby. From left: Putnam Police Sgt.

PUTNAM — The Town of Putnam WPCA will be conducting its hydrant flushing event of water mains beginning May 8 with unidirectional flushing and then regular flushing beginning May 10 and running for approximately one week.
During flushing events you will most likely experience periods of discolored water coming out of your taps. It is best that you try to limit water use while flushing is taking place in your area and, flush your water line afterwards by running a cold-water faucet in your residence until the water clears. Your water is safe to drink; the discoloration is caused from iron build up in the water lines being flushed out. Flushing the water system is essential in maintaining water quality and preventing iron and manganese build up in the system. Although it may be an inconvenience during flushing, the benefits thereafter are lasting and positive.
