Girl Scout project aims to minimize sports injuries
TRIBUTE CONCERT
By Nadya Korytnikova The Citizen
Local Girl Scout Grace Lazzara achieved the Gold Award for a project that she planned and put together to help female athletes minimize their risk of injury. The Gold Award is the Girl Scouts’ highest honor and is presented to scouts who address a community issue or problem.
The Berlin Veterans Commission announced the 102nd Army Band, CTANG, will play a “Tribute to Veterans and Gold Star Families Concert” Wednesday, July 21, 6:30 p.m., at Veterans Memorial Park on Veterans Way (near Stop & Shop). The Brass Band, Jazz Combo and Brass Quintet ensembles will perform both patriotic and pop music. The concert is free and open to the public. Attendees are invited to bring lawnchairs and picnic baskets.
Berlin largely spared by storm Elsa moved through Connecticut Friday, July 9 closing streets, flooding basements and damaging cars. Berlin saw 2.26 inches of rainfall.

Dr. Michael Katz
“Girl Scouts is about empowering women and finding a way to be a leader in everyday life,” said Lazzara, 16. “And girls from my Troop are some of the closest friends I have. I am really thankful for that community that Girl Scouts broght into my life.” Inspired by her mother and aunt’s scouting past, Lazzara became a Girl Scout in kindergarten.
Berlin High School student Grace Lazzara earned a Girl Scout Gold Award this year, the Girl Scouts’ highest achievement.
Now a student-athlete at Berlin High School, Lazzara said the experience helped her develop strong communication skills and taught her to achieve her goals quickly and without the fear of failure. See Scout, A17

Tropical Storm Elsa carved a destructive and soaking path up the East Coast last week after killing at least one person in Florida and spinning up a tornado at a Georgia Navy base that flipped recreational vehicles upside-down and blew one of them into a lake.
To earn the award, a scout is required to spend at least 80 hours researching the problem, making a plan, and putting the plan into action.

Connecticut Mosquito Management Program has begun The State of Connecticut Mosquito Management Program has begun its monitoring of mosquitoes for the presence of viruses that can cause illness in people, including West Nile Virus
(WNV) and the eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) virus. The mosquito trapping and testing program, coordinated by the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station (CAES) operates through the end of October.
THE BEES ARE BACK!
CAES reports there are 108 mosquito-trapping stations in 87 municipalities throughout the state. The mosquitoes are grouped (pooled) for testing according to species, collection site, and date. Visit the CAES website for weekly testing results (portal.ct.gov/CAES). Over the past few years, the U.S. has had an increase in cases of mosquito-borne illnesses. Last year in Connecticut, CAES reported eight human cases of WNV and zero human cases of EEE. Therefore, as summer

People have an important role to play in protecting themselves and their loved ones : Apply insect repellent when outdoors. Use a repellent with an EPA-registered ingredient.

Be aware of peak mosquito hours. The hours from dusk to dawn are peak biting times for many mosquitoes. Consider rescheduling outdoor activities that occur during evening or early morning in areas of high risk.
Drain standing water. Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water. Limit the number of places around your home for mosquitoes to breed by either draining or discarding items that hold water. Check rain gutters and drains. Empty unused flower pots and wading pools and change the water in birdbaths frequently.

Supreme Court Ruling: Big Victory for Elderly, Less So for Near-Elderly In upholding the President Obama's health reform law, the Affordable Care Act, the Supreme Court ensured the preservation and continued roll-out of improvements and protections for older adults. These improvements include the extension of Medicaid’s spousal impoverishment protections to those seeking long-term care in the community, financial incentives for states to keep long-term care recipients out of institutions, the gradual closing of Medicare Part D’s infamous “doughnut hole,” expanded access to preventive services for Medicare beneficiaries, and the Elder Justice Act. The Court did, however, scale back the Medicaid portion of the law, which could mean that fewer near-elderly will have access to health insurance than was originally envisioned. The law expanded Medicaid eligibility starting in 2014 to people with income up to 133 percent of the poverty line. But in its ruling, the Supreme Court gave states the freedom to opt out of this expansion without putting their current Medicaid funding at risk. Some governors have already declared that they will not accept the federal money in order to expand coverage. In states that decide not to participate, the poorest individuals below age 65 may be without access to affordable health insurance entirely because their incomes are too low to be eligible for federal subsidies provided under the law, which envisioned they would be covered by the Medicaid expansion. Connecticut was the first state in the nation to expand Medicaid enrollment to low-income adults in 2010 so one would expect the extended coverage to remain.

‘Forward thinking’ Bellizzi lives in Berlin with her three daughters. Sarah Bellizzi is a junior at UConn studying physiology and neurobiology, while Taylor Bellizzi is a junior and Marissa Bellizzi is a freshman at Berlin High School. Bellizzi earned a bachelor’s degree in legal studies and sociology from Quinnipiac University, a master’s degree in elementary education from St. Joseph College, a sixth year certificate from the University of Connecticut and an advanced official certificate — which prepares a person to be a school district superintendent — from Central Connecticut State University. Bellizzi began her career in education teaching at Mary
E. Griswold Elementary School in Berlin. She worked with Brian Benigni, Berlin’s superintendent of schools, who was the assistant superintendent at the time. He described her as positive and smart, someone who got along well with her colleagues, and “very committed to the profession and very committed to the kids.” Laurie Gjerpen, Berlin’s district-wide director of literacy and social studies, was principal of Griswold Elementary School when Bellizzi began teaching, fifth and then first grade. Gjerpen said that “right off the bat,” Bellizzi made connections with kids, families and school staff. “She recognizes that relationships are the basis for everything that we do in school.”
