Girls get gold and silver at Scout ceremony

Three seniors at Greenwich High School received the Girl Scout Gold Award and 10 Cadette Girl Scouts received their Silver Award at the Hyatt Regency at the first annual Greenwich Girl Scouts Gold and Silver Awards Ceremony June 1 Selectman Lin Lavery was the keynote speaker for the event, which included the Girl Scouts, their friends and families, and Barbara Lawrence, a former officer of the Girl Scout Council of Southwestern Connecticut. ALSO: Town says show permit or face fines Written by Ken Borsuk, Staff Reporter People with parking permits now have extra incentive to properly display them: a fine if they don’t. The Board of Selectmen unanimously approved Parking Services Director Allen Corry’s request to issue a $15 ticket for failure to display for people who don’t display their permits for handicapped spaces or for commuter spaces at town train stations. Previously when those permits weren’t displayed and the driver was ticketed for illegal parking, the fine was voided once the permit was shown to parking services. Now, the driver will still be able to get the parking ticket voided, but will be subject to a fine for not displaying in the first place.... Emergency services play ball On June 28, the three town emergency services will hold the first annual Greenwich Police/Fire/EMS Charity Softball Game at the Old Greenwich Civic Center from 3 to sundown. The afternoon includes fire truck and ambulance tours, a bake sale, and special guest stars including Regis Philbin and Judge Judy Sheindlin. Donations will be accepted at the event for this year’s chosen charity, the Greenwich Department of Parks and Recreation Scholarship Fund. All are welcome to come as spectators and cheer on the three teams.
