Cheryl W. Anderson, EdD, APRN, cardiology nurse practitioner at the Praxair Regional Heart and Vascular Center at Danbury Hospital, will speak about âRisk Reduction for a Healthy Heartâ at C.H. Booth Library at 7 pm on Tuesday, March 28.

The talk is free, but space is limited, so interested parties should call the library at 426-4533 to reserve. Light refreshments will be served.

The talk is among several dozen heart-related events planned in conjunction with Danbury Hospitalâs traveling art exhibit, âHeARTbeat of Our Community.â As a backdrop to Ms Andersonâs talk, at least two of the three-foot high, three-dimensional painted hearts from that exhibit of nearly 50 hearts will be on view at the library from March 27 through April 9.

The exhibit and related Healthy Heart Education programs mark the first anniversary of the Praxair Regional Heart and Vascular Center at Danbury Hospital, and are a thank you to the community for its support during the hospitalâs campaign to bring advanced cardiac care to the region. Danbury Hospital launched heart bypass surgery, valve repair and valve replacement in January 2005 with angioplasty services beginning in October 2005. Last year, more than 150 surgeries and 100 angioplasties were performed at the hospital. The majority of the hearts will remain on view at Danbury Fair Mall through May 16.

Congratulations on your nomination. In your announcement, you mentioned that Newtown faces real pressures, including “traffic patterns that make everyday life more stressful.” One growing concern for many residents and business owners is the repeated traffic disruption on Main Street caused by large-scale protests and rallies at the flagpole — held without a unified permitting process. Given that Main Street is a state road with a history of serious traffic and pedestrian safety issues, how would you, as First Selectman, approach the impact of these gatherings on traffic flow, public safety, and local businesses? I ask this with sincere interest in understanding how your commitment to “thoughtful planning” and “unity of action” would apply to this very real and recurring issue.

Democrats To Run Walczak For First Selectman

I appreciate Ryan’s thoughtful and grounded perspective on the need for a consistent, transparent, and lawful permitting process for large public events in Newtown. His approach reflects common sense within the framework of the law, balancing public safety, free expression, and fiscal responsibility—exactly what we should expect from our elected officials. In contrast, I was struck by Bruce Walczak’s comment suggesting that informal and "extensive discussion" are the preferred solutions to complex public issues. While there is certainly value in dialogue, the idea that decision-making should replace the thoughtful legislative process is troubling—especially coming from someone running for First Selectman.

Says ‘No’ Vote Sidestepped Due Diligence

I am grateful to The Democratic Town committee. I can vouch for the careful consideration they took in selecting our candidates. I appreciate their confidence in my managing skills to address the many issue facing Newtown. Ill be conducting listening tours over the next few months to gain a deeper understanding of my Newtown neighbors concerns and will be ready to address then day one.

There has been a rash of dog attacks, at least three that I know about on the sidewalks in town. Owners of pets need to be more attentive and respectful of their neighbors. Aggressive dogs need to be watched carefully to protect all. This is a serious issue and should be addresses not swept under a rug.

We Need A First Selectman Who Cares

I attended the meeting, and the results were reached after extensive discussion. Thats why its important to attend these high profile meeting, you see the facts yourself, As Alex, in the following letter, said the solution is not always more rules and legislation. Speaking to each other often solves issue a lot quicker with more flexibility.
