BY MERYL E. WILLETT VILLAGER STAFF WRITER PUTNAM — The Putnam Lions are taking charge of getting the ball rolling to bring a dog park to the town of Putnam. The idea was brought forward as recently as this past budget season, where funding for a dog park was incorporated into the town’s capi- tol improvement plan, which was later removed. However, there was a sign of hope given for the future of a dog park being built in Putnam on Saturday Sept. 8, as the future home of a Putnam Dog Park on Kennedy Drive was unveiled. Putnam Parks and Recreation Director Willie Bousquet kicked off the unveiling of the future site of the park. “We hope that when we unveil the statue people will be motivated to see something happen for the community and this region. We are Karen Osbrey and Johnna, 8, of Thompson, get ready to unveil the hoping to raise enough funds for a Meryl E.

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

The all-new Hyundai Santa Fe demonstrates that the Korean manu- facturer continues to roll the dice and come up with winners. There’s an inherent risk in tackling a top seller and attempting to make it better. Sometimes you don’t get it right (i.e. the Honda Civic) and the reviews are negative. Granted, the Civic ended up being a strong seller, but there’s still this permanent sense, especially online, that it’s just not a very com- pelling car. Honda, if you go by the sales numbers, has a winner on its hands, but sales numbers do not make a brand compelling in the eyes of the car buying public. Hyundai is compelling with the new Santa Fe and it’s willing to take a gam- ble. The new model was introduced to the automotive media at approximate- ly 8300 feet in Park City, Utah. That’s not a place to bring underpowered cars because at that altitude horsepower drops by at least 20 percent. This is the third-generation of the popular crossover. Now it comes with a two wheelbase strategy: the two-row, five-passenger Santa Fe Sport, what used to be just the plain Santa Fe, and larger three-row, seven-passenger Santa Fe, what used to be the Hyundai Veracruz. The Hyundai execs, who real- The 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe embraces the manufacturer’s new focus on fluidic sculpture but where it really shines is under the hood with the optional 2.0 turbo ly aren’t making any mistakes lately, four-cylinder engine and advanced corner control with all-wheel drive. saw more value in keeping the Santa Fe brand going and deep-sixing the the job done.
