The Newtown Health and Fitness Club has announced the addition of two key members to its staff.

Ann Marie Mitchell, a certified personal trainer, has joined the staff as fitness manager. Ms Mitchellâs lifelong commitment to physical fitness and 15 years as a registered nurse motivated her to go into personal training with an emphasis on preventative health maintenance and enhancing daily life. She is certified by the National Association of Sports Medicine and the Aerobic and Fitness Association of America.

Ms Mitchellâs medical background gives her an extensive knowledge of the human body. This allows her to deal with all kinds of training issues ranging from sports specific training to strength training for everyday activities. She and her staff of certified personal trainers can help individuals of all ages and fitness levels achieve their personal goals with a balanced, comprehensive program including weight resistance, cardiovascular training, and nutritional counseling.

Also, joining the Newtown Health and Fitness Club as an aerobic instructor is Patty Gaffney, certified with the Aerobic and Fitness Association of America (AFAA). Ms Gaffney, known for her motivational skills, strength, and form, has been teaching all aspects of aerobics for the past ten years. She strives to make her classes fun as well as achieve results for all participants. She is currently instructing a weighted low impact class and cardio kick boxing at the Newtown Health and Fitness Club.

The public is invited to stop by the club, located at 23 Commerce Road in Newtown, for additional information on the gym, its group fitness and aerobics schedule, and the personal training programs available for individuals and groups. The club is currently undergoing extensive renovation and will be installing new, state-of-the-art weight resistance and cardio equipment within the next three months.

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.
