TheBerlinCitizen|theberlincitizen.comThursday,August18,2022 A3 When Cheshire resident Hayley Falk first started her group, Because of the Brave, the then 16-year-old was simply hoping to educate those in her generation about the sacrifices made by veterans. Now, in 2022, what started as a blog has turned into a non-profit organization that organizes events, participates in regional activities, and is constantly looking for ways to show men and women in the military just how much their efforts are appreciated. Falk, now 18, recently was a named a finalist for the Citizens Honor Youth Service Award by the Congressional Medal of Honor Society. She was nominated by Harvey “Barney” Barnum, former Marine, Cheshire native, and Medal of Honor recipient, for the dedication she’s shown to veterans and veteran causes. Falk’s group will have a booth at this year’s Cheshire Fall Festival & Marketplace as well as at the Berlin Fair, and Because of the Brave is organizing a trip for veterans to visit the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington, D.C.

“I always knew that one of the most difficult things I did as a child was to do a paper route at such a young age. That is where I learned a lot of skills,” Vitelli said. “I re flect on how I encountered a skunk. That part is real. The rest is metaphoric to repre sent the challenges in the life of falling into potholes and using our inner energy tools to become resilient, learn lessons and overcome obsta Withcles.” “Potholes” now com plete, Vitelli is calling out to local artists to help create the book cover. Gallery 53, a 114-year-old visual arts orga nization in Meriden, is ac cepting artwork drop-offs.

“No child or parent should ever have to worry about the things that Daniela and her parents have had to worry about or fear that there won’t be the blood that she needs to survive,” Porter said. “Those chil dren and their parents should know that their community has their back and that there will always be blood when she needs Nicoleit.” Ciriello grew up in Berlin and appreciates how the community has rallied to help her family.

The pair met through the dating app Grindr; this was their second time. He ex plained that during June, his sexual activity increased. “I played, I paid,” Rivera said. At the time, his partner showed no symptoms and didn’t have any lesions but complained about feeling Tolethargic.minimize possible expo sure, the DPH recommends washing your hands often, limiting sex partners, avoid ing close skin-to-skin contact with people who have a monkeypox-like rash and avoiding touching their linens, towels, clothing, fetish gear or sex toys. A person can only be tested for the virus if they have a rash consistent with mon keypox or have had close contact with an infected per son. The DPH states that testing is available at the state Public Health Laborato ry and five commercial labs. What to do if you test positive When symptoms begin showing, the CDC recom mends immediately isolating from people and pets until all lesions have healed and a new layer of skin is formed, which can take upwards of a Ifmonth.aperson is required to leave for a medical check-up or an emergency, the DPH recommends wrapping up lesions, wearing long-sleeve shirts and wearing a mask around others.
primary method of transmis sion is through prolonged close contact, like during sex, said Wu. The other transmission methods include respiratory secretion, skin-to-skin con tact with infected body fluids or lesions and sharing items such as towels and linens. It can also spread through do mestic pets, but he explained that these transmission methods are not as concern
The treatment available for active monkeypox is TPOXX, which is often used to treat chickenpox. TPOXX is still considered an experimental drug but was streamlined by CDC as safe for use. However, Wu said that many people recover without med ication for this strain. The CDC monkeypox web site has an extensive list of recommendations to prevent reinfection while in quaran tine. This includes properly disinfecting tables and coun tertops, disposing of contam inated waste and cleaning bedding and towels. Those without in-home laundry machines should co ordinate with their local public health department. Rivera recommends that people experiencing symp toms rely on their support system to get essentials with out leaving quarantine. “I thought going into it that I was going to do this solo, own my own, like any other problem that you would in your mundane life as an adult. I was rather optimistic that this was only going to last for a week or two,” he said. “Later, it was quite clear that this was going to be a long road and I needed to reach out to people and uti lize all the resources I could.”

Although a person is not infectious until they are symptomatic, Wu recom mends those receiving the vaccine quarantine until they are fully immunized to pre vent further spread. “Vaccines are not 100%,” he said. “If you were exposed to somebody who had it and you had close physical con tact and you received the vaccines, there’s no guaran tee that you’re not going to get it. So it just really de creases your chances; but, if you develop symptoms, you could also expose somebody else.” Local efforts Lea Crown, director of the Meriden Department of Health and Human Services, said her staff is monitoring a handful of monkeypox cases in the Followingcity.the infectious dis ease protocol used for COVID-19, the department is contact tracing both for peo ple testing positive and any close Crowncontacts.saidifsomeone tests positive, the department will check in with them to see how they are doing and if they need any essentials un til they are out of quarantine. Then, the department will reach out to those identified as close contacts to check in and make a vaccine referral. Crown also said they are connecting with other local health departments to find best practices for interview ing and creating workgroups to prevent further spread. “This is obviously a new dis ease for us,” she said.

Public education to curb LGBTQ+ stigma Rivera, who identifies as gay, said he had received nothing but support during his recov ery; however, he recognizes that is not the case for others in the LGBTQ+ community. According to the DPH, all of the Connecticut cases as of Aug. 8 are people who identi fy as male and almost all identify as LGBTQ+. Howev er, anyone can contract the Riveravirus. explained that one of his friends overheard a group of men making homophobic remarks in downtown Hart ford. They remarked that they couldn’t understand why gay men were proud since they were spreading “monkeypox.The[LGBTQ+] community, with good reason, is con cerned that … [monkeypox] can be used to stigmatize the gay community and be weaponized against us to strip us of our rights,” Rivera Wusaid.said that one of the best methods of prevention and curbing stigma is through public education and easy access to monkeypox infor “mation.Weare dealing mostly with a group that this is predomi nantly a cohort of [men who have sex with men] and be cause of that a lot of people think that [monkeypox] doesn’t concern them or that this is not a disease that they have to worry about nor do they have to be educated about,” he said. “Public health education only works when everyone is involved.” However, he recognized the importance of getting mon keypox information to the LGBTQ+ community since the virus is circulating cur rently in that community.

TheBerlinCitizen|theberlincitizen.comThursday,August18,2022 A17 women should be the de ciding factor on what is best for their own bodies. Not the government. This ruling takes our country back over a half century. Now, the main stage of the issue of abortion rights and access falls to our State Capitol, where I plan to re sist and reject any effort that would strip women in Connecticut of their right to choose what is best for 2.them.”“Isupport the Safe Har bor law. It will protect women who travel to Con necticut for an abortion. This was a wise and proac tive step that the legislature took knowing that the Supreme Court was poised to strike down Roe v. Wade. Not only is this law the right thing to do, it also makes clear that Connecti cut will not be an accom plice to any jurisdiction reaching beyond their bor der to prosecute someone seeking a legal medical pro cedure in our state. I'd like to especially thank and ap plaud Rep. Abercrombie and Rep. Linehan for their support of this vital legisla tion.” Lou Arata, Republican 1. “First and foremost, we are a people who follow the rule of law and to be able to exercise personal free dom should not be in fringed. Abortion should be safe, legal and rare. In situ ations of rape, incest or medical emergency, I sup port the woman's decision. I believe the ultimate deci sion is between the mother and her God. Late term abortions and abortions used as contraception, I am vehemently against. Are we not supposed to protect our most vulnerable?
