Recapping the top stories of the week in Putnam County

This week in Putnam — Aug. 8, 2008

August
8

Vacation’s over and the Putnam podcast is back to the weekly grind. And oh what a week it was.

Brewster officials cracked down on congregating day laborers just as a major project connected to a certain political leader was set to open. Meanwhile, tempers flared on a Southeast golf course, but it had nothing to do with a bad backswing or an uneven short game.

In Carmel, a would-be thief picked the wrong pickup truck to steal as its owners proved to be very attached to the vehicle. There aren’t quite opposing armies facing off on opposite sides of the Kent-Patterson border, but the developer of a controversial retail project has an idea for a little territorial change-of-hands to help his cause.

And the week wouldn’t be complete without a note on Southeast Supervisor Michael Rights’s continuing driving-related woes.
