We just thought it would be a good thing for the community to have some activities for the summer, Remlinger said. Because of my involvement with the YMCAs healthy living and group exercise programs the mayor entrusted me to do a community wellness programin the city.

Mayor Sherry Capello is also taking an active part in the wellness program by hosting three Walk with the Mayor one-mile walks, Remlinger said.

"I did see across the United States there are only a handful of these Walk with the Mayor programs, she said. I know the mayor is very into fitness. She is at the Y almost every day, so I didnt have to twist her arm.

The mayors walks will be held at the following days and times. It is free and there is no registration required. All participants will receive a free pedometer, as long as supplies last, and health tips fromRemlinger, including how to create a walking program. In the event of rain the walks will be held on the Y's indoor track.
