WYC Childrenâs Summer

Session Begins July 7

WOODBURY â Woodbury Yoga Center Childrenâs Summer 2005 session will begin July 7.

WYC Childrenâs Yoga engages children in an hour of playful, creative and natural movement that is also just plain fun. Yoga develops good coordination, posture, strength and healthy habits to release pent-up energy. Each class is facilitated in a way that promotes self-esteem, empowerment, respect and connectedness.

The four-week class will meet on Thursday mornings, July 7-28, from 10:30 to 11:30 am each week, at the yoga center, which is at 122 West Side Road.

Cost is $55 per child. Multiple class and other special discounts are available.

Instructor Laura McEvoy received her yoga teacher certification from Kripalu in June 2002. She has been practicing for 15 years.

She has a special interest in teaching children. Their ever present, unique and authentic spirit serves as a reminder that yoga can bring anyone home to that true being.

âSo often children are told to calm down and relax, yet they arenât taught how. Through yoga children learn to develop coordination, healthy habits and coping mechanisms,â says Ms McEvoy.

She has been the recipient of various diversity grants providing yoga instruction to economically disadvantaged children in various urban settings. Her work with children of diverse cultural background has been recognized in the KYTA Yoga Bulletin and the National Tides Foundation Publication.

She holds an elementary school teacher certification and masterâs degree in counseling. She recognizes student learning styles and teaches postures and relaxation techniques in a variety of ways.

Contact the yoga center at 203-263-2254 for more information or to register. Woodbury Yoga Center also has series of adult hatha posture classes (beginning the week of July 5), meditation classes (beginning July 11), and a one-night âCreating Your Own Realityâ workshop planned for July 21.

Yoga posture classes are held daily, and a Sunday evening meditation programs offer free instruction in meditation.

The Way We Were

Cindi Broughton

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.
