Continued from page 4 adults maintain their quality of life and independence longer as they age.
Regular physical activity can relieve stress, anxiety, depression and anger. It is that “feel good sensation” you get after doing something physical. Exercise serves as a pill with no side effects.
Most people notice they feel better over time as physical activity becomes a regular part of their lives. Isn’t this what Bassett should be advocating for their patients and the community at large?
In addition, the therapy pool provides natural resistance and buoyancy that reduces the stress on joints.
Many adults who live with arthritis find that water therapy is a great way to stay active and lessen the pain on their joints. Many adults find that they are able to do certain exercises in the water that they are not able to in a traditional exercise class.
Many times the social setting increases confidence, cardiovascular health and reduces overall mental stress all the while enjoying a relaxing atmosphere. Again, all the more reason to maintain the aquatic facility at Foxcare Fitness.
The members have come to trust, appreciate and value all the hard work that the dedicated, professional staff at Foxcare has done over the years to develop relationships with their members— from the minute we walk in the door until the time we leave. We are met with a sincerity that we matter, and that is just one of the many reasons many of us have joined there. The staff is welltrained and willing to help in any way, from answering questions about wellness goals to designing personal fitness training programs in a relaxed, non-judgmental atmosphere. Foxcare Fitness adds immeasurable value to the Bassett Healthcare Network and A. O. Fox Hospital, and it should continue to play a greater role in preventative health maintenance.
It is time for Bassett to give Foxcare Fitness the promotional attention that is long overdue and that it deserves—to promote health fairs, continue to encourage employees to become members, and engage in and financially support Foxcare to continue as an extension of community health. It is vital to this community to keep this premiere center open at any and all costs.

SUNY Morrisville will forever hold these titles in large part due to the hard work of colone-Microni, whose drive and determination to be the best resulted in an equally-impressive highschool career.
“Taylor left our basketball program as one of only seven players to score 1,000+ points, finishing fifth all-time with 1,070 points. She’s currently the 14th alltime leading rebounder in school history, 10th all-time in assists, 5th all-time in steals, and she holds the alltime program record for 3point shots made in a career, at 206,” Miller said. colone-Microni, the daughter of Frank and Jeanine Microni of Oneonta, leaves big shoes to fill at both OHS and SUNY Morrisville. She’s going to be a hard act to follow.
Every good beginning requires a great ending and, although colone-Microni has achieved tremendous success in her young life through basketball, when college is over she plans to retire from the game.
“I’ve been studying criminal justice and love the idea of a career path in the field. I’m not sure where my career will start, but I know I have a place in life within the industry,” she said.
