PUTNAM — The inaugural New England Acoustic Music Festival sponsored by Courthouse Bar and Grill in Putnam is in the books, and what a day it was. More than 10 acoustic acts from across the country converged on Main Street in Putnam, which was half shut down to accommodate the stage and many vendors that made up the day’s event. Everything from country to blues and rock n’ roll was represented throughout the day in yet another showing of community and pride in Putnam.

Many local businesses and restaurants joined the Courthouse Bar and Grill in supporting the event. The staff from 88 Main had a good time meeting and greeting guests to Putnam’s downtown. Rehoboth, Mass. native Matt Fuller represented his own style of acoustic sound as he belted out tunes as the second act of the day.

Not all acoustic music was on the main stage. This one-man band performer performed for guests enjoying the great food outside of 88 Jason Bleau photos Main and Bella’s Bistro. Muddy Ruckus, a Portland, Maine trio con- sisting of Ryan Flaherty, Brian Durkin and New England native country artist Christie Leigh provided a mix of Erika Stahl, were the first act to perform ever covers and originals to add some twang to the acoustic festival. in the New England Acoustic Music Festival.

While social media has certain- ly become a staple of modern society, Falzarano said that he has no intention on preventing anyone from using sites like Facebook or Twitter on their own time, but there is a need to make sure it is not abused. “In this day and age of technology you should be held accountable for what you say and what you do on social media. I couldn’t get in trouble because I don’t even know how to text and I can’t get on Facebook. I don’t know how to do that stuff and I’m not going to learn.”

NECASA announces award nominations Northeast Communities Against Substance Abuse (NECASA) is seeking nominations for two regional awards. The Volunteer with Youth Award is given to a volunteer over the age of 18 who works with youth in their commu- nity. The Volunteer with Youth Award is now a regional award for the entire twenty-one town Northeast Connecticut region. Beginning in 1993, the award was started to encourage and recog- nize people for their outstanding work with youth. Solid adult role models for young people are found to be one of the greatest preventive measures that a community can use to alleviate negative behaviors in children. For many years the award was given to an individual or couple from each town in the region, but funding has limited the award to a regional award the past few years. Over the years, coaches from different sports, church youth leaders, scout leaders and school volunteers have been recognized for their outstanding volunteerism. The Nilan Award is named after Judith Nilan, the social worker at Woodstock Middle School who was murdered in 2005. Judy Nilan was an outstanding individual and NECASA worked with her to help bring program- ming and speakers to the Woodstock Middle School to benefit the students. After her death, NECASA dedicated the award to her and the first award was given in 2006 to her husband Jon Baker and her children. The Nilan Award rec- ognizes one outstanding school social worker, psychologist, principal, teacher or other school personnel in the region for their dedication and commitment to their student’s wellbeing. Nomination forms may be accessed on-line from the NECASA website at www.necasaonline.org.

Enchanted came to PAWS as a stray who had been found along with anoth- er cat. Because the cat she came in with was more openly friendly and laid-back, they were adopted fairly quickly. Enchanted held her love and trust of people inside herself for quite some time, guarding it from the harm she thought would surely come if she opened up to people more easily. That was, until she realized that no one here meant her any harm or unkindness. Enchanted’s personality has truly blossomed since she first came to PAWS. She is happy to meet everyone who comes by her cage and being pet- ted is clearly her favorite thing. She’s realized how great it is to have people who love and care for her, and she deserves a home and a family that can provide her that for the rest of her life. Due to her initial shyness and need to warm up to people, Enchanted would do best in a home without young children or other pets. Enchanted is up-to-date on her vac- cines, tested FIV/FeLV negative and has been spayed. If you would like to give Enchanted the loving family she’s never had, please call the PAWS shelter at (860) 480-1104.

Killingsworth said the game plan was to keep the ball on the ground. Appleton threw only three passes, completing two for a total of 12 yards. Senior Dan Whittenburg and junior Cahan Quinn led the way as blocking backs for Cote and Janice. “Put those two big guys (Whittenburg and Quinn) in the backfield — which are basically two more linemen — they were basically like two guards back there pulling all day,” Killingsworth said. “One guy kicking out, one guy leading out running power football. Trent (Appleton) did a good job reading where he was supposed to put the ball.” Whittenburg — who also plays line- backer — was a freshman when the Centaurs topped Bacon Academy 23-13 back in 2011, so along with Appleton he was waiting quite a while for last Saturday’s win. Whittenburg helped put a finishing touch on the victory in the fourth quarter, intercepting Saints quarterback Anthony Hall with 6:22 left and returning it 20 yards to the Saint Bernard’s 28-yard line to set up Woodstock’s final touchdown. “That was my first interception. It felt amazing. It was awesome,” Whittenburg said. “It just feels great to win. I wouldn’t rather be on any other team. I don’t think it’s hit me yet. Right now it feels like a dream.” Charlie Lentz photo Saint Bernard/Norwich Tech’s record Quarterback Trent Appleton led Woodstock Academy to a victory over Saint Bernard/Norwich Tech last Saturday. fell to 0-2.

PUTNAM — The WPTP A Squad Hawks started out strong scoring first on the opening drive of the game against Tolland last Sunday in youth football action at St. Marie Greenhalgh Complex. Devin Nichol caught two touchdowns and Eric Preston scored three touchdowns in what turned out to be an offensive battle but the Hawks could not keep pace with the Tolland Eagles and fell 64-36. The high scoring affair was not a game of defense. The Hawks had two turn overs that were converted to points and that turned the tide in the Eagles favor for the win. The A squad Hawks are back in action on Sunday as they host the Ellington Roadrunners. The WPTP B Squad Hawks earned their second victory in a row by defeat- ing the Tolland Eagles 24-22. Tolland jumped out to an early 14-0 lead, but the Hawks responded with a 30-yard touch- down run from Jason Grzysiewicz. The Hawks opened the second quarter with a 55-yard touchdown scamper from Travis White to cut Tolland’s lead to 22-12 at halftime. The Hawks defense, led by Coady Bell, Jaylen Brinson and Dustin Veach, shut out Tolland in the second half with a stellar defensive effort. Midway through the third quarter, Colby Livingston connected with Grzysiewicz on a 29-yard touchdown pass to cut the lead to four. After the teams exchanged possessions, the Hawks got the ball with a little over three minutes remaining in Heidi Caswell photo the game. Adam Schimmelpfennig got the handoff and ran the ball 19 yards Noah Rudman, (12), hands off to Robert Dion (1) for a long gain against Tolland at St. Marie Greenhalgh Complex in Putnam last Sunday. for the winning touchdown.
