There is strong justification for the FoxCare Fitness center to remain open. The benefits of preventative health that include exercise have been well documented in the medical literature.
We get very excited about the new cardiac technologies: aggressive coronary angioplasty, non-surgical management of abnormal structural cardiovascular conditions and arrhythmia control. These procedures are very expensive and are life preserving. However, preventative cardiovascular programs are relatively cheap and, over time, will reduce healthcare costs.
I have been involved in cardiovascular affairs for more than 40 years. Prior to coming to Bassett Healthcare, I was the cardiology consultant to the Office of the Surgeon General, US Army. I spent years dealing with all aspects of cardiac issues involving cardiovascular disease states, including coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, sudden cardiac death and various aspects of adult congenital heart disease. I learned early on in my career that when healthcare costs rise, the first things terminated are preventative care programs. This is a mistake. Over time, programs such as exercise fitness, smoking cessation and weight control will have significant benefit to one’s health. These programs have the potential of reducing cardiovascular disease and, over time, will reduce the cost of healthcare.
If we were to use just the argument that healthcare costs are too high, we could shut down programs that are too expensive and are not being fully reimbursed; including some of the emergency room facilities, prime care facilities, inpatient rehab programs, etc. However, these programs are essential for the health of individuals that live in our community.
FoxCare Fitness has been used by many individuals of all ages. It is the premier fitness center in the Oneonta area. Many of my patents have been using the facility for a number of years. We should look at ways that the facility could be more cost effective. I strongly recommend that this unit be continued in order that fitness be part of an integrated health

When questioned, Village of Cooperstown Mayor Ellen Tillapaugh said the Templeton Foundation had applied for and received a curb cut permit from the village for that property.
“Private parties can apply for permits for various actions, which the project engineer has done for the curb cut, for instance,” Tillapaugh said.
The mayor also said that Zoning Enforcement Officer Jackson DuBois had confirmed that fewer than 30 percent of the viable trees are being cut down, in keeping with the tree code, and pointed out that there are white pine trees on the property with a disease that is denuding them of needles.
“Diseased trees are not included in the tree code,” Tillapaugh said.
In an e-mail correspondence received on Sunday, March 19, Templeton Foundation’s attorney, Matthew E. Hamlin of Persun & Hamlin, P.C. in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, wrote: “In my opinion the limited site work undertaken by my client Templeton Foundation in furtherance of the geotechnical testing of the involved parcel complies with all applicable local and state laws and regulations.”
Zamelis officially filed the second petition with the Madison County Supreme Court on behalf of his clients on March 19, including photographs of the work being done on the Averill Road site, stating that “the commencement of construction of the project by Templeton Foundation is in violation of the State Environmental Quality Review Act… Environmental Conservation Law Article 8 and the Special Permit requirements of the Village of Cooperstown Zoning Law.” It has also been reported that New York State Department of Environmental Conservation staff visited the site on Friday, March 24.

“Morning Shift,” a soap made from from shea butter and jojoba oil, designed to invigorate the user by delivering antioxidants to the skin.
“For ‘Morning Shift,’ I use 100 percent essential oil fragrances—rosemary, eucalyptus and peppermint oils. It’s the best product we can make,” Hovard said.
Other Hudson Made products available at 354 Main include Turkish towels, natural brushes, sea sponges and “pretty much anything for the bath,” Hovard said. More information on Hovard’s line of products is available at www.hudsonmadeny.com.
A wide range of antique and vintage objects, including pottery, glassware and an oldstyle manual typewriter, can also be found at 354 Main.
Hovard appreciates that 354 Main has been connected to Otego and its residents for decades, and he wants to continue that connection by working closely with the community. Two longtime residents in particular, Carolee Byrnes and Buzz Hesse, have given him valuable insight into local history. Byrnes, a member of the Otego Historical Association, compiled a binder of information on the history of 354 Main. Hesse, an archeologist by profession, founded the Roland B. Hill Memorial Museum of Indian Archeology, also on Main Street, and, with his wife Jackie, operated Otego’s Hesse Galleries for 30 years.
Hovard is making a special effort to work with local growers. From Star Root Farm in the Charlotte Valley, Hovard avails himself to calendula, chamomile, hyssop, lavender and cornflower, which he then infuses to make various kinds of body oils. He has also begun to grow botanicals with Colleen O’Hara, who owns and operates Otsdawa Berry on County Highway 8 in Otego.
“We use these locally grown botanicals in our ‘Grange Collection.’ The term ‘grange’ refers to the agricultural associations that used to be so prominent in rural communities,” Hovard said, adding that he can only turn over as much product from these crops as the growing season, with all of its contingencies, allows.
Hovard’s approach to his agricultural endeavors is holistic.
“Botanical crops support other agricultural crops by attracting pollinators, such as bees and butterflies,” he said.
In line with 354 Main’s art gallery function, Hovard held an opening in March for two artists from the Butternut Valley—ceramic artist Elizabeth Nields and abstract expressionist artist Timothy Atticus. Although the schedule is not pinned down as yet, Hovard plans to host five or six art openings per year, as well as a holiday “pop-up”—an event allowing vendors to connect with shoppers in person for a limited time.
Hovard is also planning a fundraiser for the Sweet Life Animal Ranch and Rescue in Morris, which will feature the photography of Vicki Whicker. Details on the event will soon be available on 354 Main’s Facebook page, 354Otego.com.
On July 2, in conjunction with the Annual Stagecoach Run Art Festival—a regional, self-guided open gallery tour—354 Main will host an open house spotlighting works by Stamford artist Jan Green. A relative newcomer to Otego, Hovard nonetheless appreciates the talent and potential in his new home.
“Otego has an incredibly vibrant artistic community, and I want people to have a place to show their work. 354 Main is evolving, and we’re going to see what comes next,” Hovard said.
