walking down your blood sugarGet Fit Bridgeport – “Walking Down Your Blood Sugar”

The Black Rock Branch announces a physical fitness series using exercise DVD’s, that are available at the library. They are simple to use and appropriate for those who have not exercised regularly, or who need a gentler way of exercising, yet want results.

The first program is entitled “Walking Down Your Blood Sugar” from the Leslie Sansone ‘Walk at Home’ DVD Series. It includes an educational ‘Talk’ offering a doctor’s expert advice on the importance of fitness walking while managing diabetes

The format will be 15 minute welcome and education, 30 minute walking with the video, 15 minute handout /repeat education and close.

This program is free but registration required. Please call 203 337-9676 to reserve your spot. As with any exercise program, check with your doctor if you have any known health issues.
“Get Fit Bridgeport” will also include books and articles for education in nutrition incorporating those available at the library and on the internet. This will hopefully encourage people to use the Library resources to educate themselves about healthy lifestyle changes to manage and even possibly prevent some illnesses.
“The Get Fit Bridgeport” program will be conducted by RHONDA BIVINS who has studied wellness for over 25 years, incorporating spirit, soul, and body and the relationship each has to health. She enjoys teaching others what she has learned through her experiences and brings that knowledge in a fun and easy to understand way.
She looks forward to meeting you at the Black Rock Branch of the Bridgeport Public Library for the indoor fitness series “Get Fit Bridgeport” beginning November 7th, 2011 at 12:00 PM.

Fairfield Metro Train Station

Track repairs will cause a delay in the opening of the Fairfield Metro train station. The new date for the opening is scheduled for December 1, 2011. The opening had been scheduled for the end of this month until recently.

There are still a few more hurdles for the completion of the train station including agreements between the state Department of Transportation and United Illuminating on easements and the placement of utilities. The town of Fairfield is also waiting for a written agreement from the state for an additional $3 million in funds help with $7.5 million in cost overruns. To complicate matters, the RTM must vote on the agreement and and new RTM is due to be elected November 8.

Thank you to Stephanie Barnes of Black Rock for this great photo of the nearly completed train station that will serve Black Rock and Fairfield.
