Kathleen Barton, co-creator of The Graceful Planet in Sandy Hook, completed her YogaEd teaching certification this summer at the Kripalu Yoga Center in Lenox, Mass. YogaEd is an educational program that combines a science-based exploration of the body, mind, and self with the exercise system of yoga to support and enhance learning, health, and personal responsibility.

YogaEd serves to help children be learning ready, physically fit, aware of self and others, and confident. Through the practice of yoga, students will learn how to move gracefully, breathe smoothly and deeply, and sustain their focus and concentration, developing strength, flexibility, balance, mental clarity, and emotional stability.

The YogaEd curriculum is also available as âYoga Tools For Teachers,â a workshop designed for teachers to use in the classroom. YogaEd classes will be held at The Graceful Planet, 7 Berkshire Road. Call 426-8215 for details.

Why Gun Violence Is Higher In The US

I want to clarify something that was not clear in my letter. Newtown DOES have an affordable housing plan, put together with the aid of the Council of Governments (COG) in 2022 and approved by the LC that year. The strategies in that plan are to "encourage", "support", "explore", "promote" various aspects of state and local affordable housing programs. Those strategies are largely repeated in the Housing Chapter of the Plan of Conservation and Development being finalized now. Newtown needs to measure its performance against those strategies and refine them to reflect the current situation and evaluate whether we are eligible for a moratorium on 8-30(g) projects if we have met the criteria. It's a question of being more specific and more rigorous in what we as a community would like to see to address this real and serious need, rather than to be on our heels when a developer proposes a project on their terms. An independent look outside the application process would be best for that. Thank you. Peter.

Discusses Affordable Housing

I on Glover Ave. walk my two Labs every morning and evening. Drivers are constantly cutting me off at the shopping center entrance and other driveways. There is no understanding of pedestrians rights. Drives make left turns onto Queen when its forbidden. Most cars cruse right thru the crosswalks without stopping for pedestrians. The Police have not issued one citation nor even a warming for crosswalk violations. The situation is out of control and now a loved resident, Pete, and a pet, Coby have been killed. Time for a plan. The problem is not Intersections, nor traffic, the problem 98s drivers and lack of enforcement. The plan need to create a culture that drivers obey speed limits and honor pedestrians right of ways. Isn't that the job of the Police Department and The Police Commission, to protect Newtowns citizens. This is a call to action.

Its already too late, the Nimby mob have scared developers so that their only option is to use the state wide 8-30 exemption to get around the local zoning board. Thanks Nimby mob.
