PUTNAM — Dedicated fishermen know how great it feels to catch a good one. Now the Boy Scouts from Troop 21 know too, after a weekend camping and fishing trip where they learned how to do it. “This was the first time fishing for several of the guys,” said Assistant Scoutmaster Casey M. Dundon, of Putnam, an experienced fisherman who is Troop 21’s head fishing instructor. “It’s fun to get the kids out and show them how to fish Boy Scout Raihden Albino, from Troop 21 when they’re young, so they can do it for life. We had largemouth bass biting all weekend. It was a really good time.” With permission from the landowner, during the last weekend in June Troop 21 pitched their tents and set up their gear along the pond at Quatrano Farm, on pri- John D.

As with most Scout troops, Troop 21’s program coincides with the school year, so the last weekend of June was the end of the troop’s year. Kicking off their new year, the Scouts will be heading off for a week of summer camp in July. Holding its meetings at St. Mary’s on Providence Street, Troop 21 is open to any boy aged 11 to 17. They do not have to be Catholic or be members of the church. “We’re always looking for new boys to join the troop,” said Scoutmaster Peter A. Lombardo, of Putnam. “After we get home from camp,” Lombardo said, ticking off some of the high- lights of the troop’s schedule through next spring, “We’ll be out every month. Among other things our Scouts will be hiking part of the Airline Trail in our area, heading out to a science, computer and robots weekend at the Coast Guard Academy in New London, several camping trips, a shotgun-shooting program, a food drive for local needy people, a Paw Sox game in Pawtucket and another fishing trip, so we’ll be busy.” Troop 21’s Scoutmaster noted that a Boy Scout troop’s operations are run by the boys, with the adults guiding and teaching them as needed, overseeing transporta- tion and making sure everyone is healthy and safe. “Our Scouts made up this year’s schedule and are responsible for planning and carrying out what they’ll be doing,” Lombardo said. “They decide what they want to do; they raise their own money to do it. Scouting builds self-reliance, responsibil- ity and character that way. We’re very proud of our guys.” For information about joining Troop 21, call Lombardo at (860) 963-0171 and leave a message.

This encourages proper respect for the Flag of the United States and to provide for disposal of unserviceable flags in a dignified manner. After a respectable ceremony the flags were properly burned.

Overlooking Main Street below, the brick-clad gallery is not only full of very abstract and colorful art, but haikus. Until July 29, visitors can enjoy the New York born artist’s one-of- a-kind pieces that explore the meaning of numbers, the power of words, and the statement of bold, powerful color.

Kennedy Drive and downtown was crowded with families and friends for the biggest summer gathering in the area. And, as always, the firework display was an astounding blend of eye-pop- ping colors, heart-pounding booms and beautiful formations and effects. Ending with roaring and clapping from the crowds, the Putnam Fireworks have continued to bring the community together to celebrate the country’s Independence in brilliant fashion.

BY CHARLIE LENTZ VILLAGER EDITOR DAYVILLE — Joseph Santese and Angela Rafter have moved on from Killingly High School — Rafter to Central Connecticut State University and Santese to Nichols College. The duo ran past their old stomping grounds last Friday at the Red White & Blue 3.2 road race. The out-and-back Red White & Blue race course includes an excursion up the driveway to the top of the hill at Killingly High. Both Santese and Rafter worked out on that hill when they ran track and cross country back in their high-school days. Last Friday, they each reached the apex of Killingly High in first place in their respective divisions and earned “King and Queen of the Hill” honors. This was the second year in a row that Santese has won the Red White and Blue. Rafter is also a two-time winner of the Red White and Blue.
