| May 10 Tour de Putnam Cancelled Wednesday, May 07, 2014 06:42 PM PDT  Putnam County Tourism in cooperation with Putnam County Sheriff's office and other county emergency services bureaus has decided to cancel the 2014 bike events and pasta picnic. Due to the recent weather predictions of rain and spiking air temperatures potentially causing scattered thunderstorms and light hail we have decided to cancel the event for safety reasons. Safety is the most important part of executing an event with 4 courses and covering over 150 miles of Putnam roads. Our safety and support network would be compromised dramatically in the event of bad weather and we could not offer the level of safety to our riders that they would expect in those difficult conditions. This event is designed to showcase our wonderful county and all its beauty. We are proud to have had the incredible support of our community, our sponsors and all the county agencies. We are thankful to the participants who wanted to join us this year and we are happy to extend full entry in our 2015 event. Full Story | Top |

In a speech on the Senate floor, Landrieu, who represents the oil-producing state of Louisiana where public support for Keystone runs high, urged Republican leaders to reverse themselves and accept a deal offered by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Reid, a Nevada Democrat, has said that if Republicans allow passage of a bipartisan energy bill, he would permit a separate vote on Keystone, a project that polls show most Americans support. Environmentalists oppose Keystone - which would bring more than 800,000 barrels a day from Canada's oil sands to refineries in Texas - saying it could lead to spills and emissions linked to climate change.
