As part of an ongoing transformation of Sullivan County's premier acute healthcare facility, CatskillRegional Medical Center recently renovated two entrances of the hospital with canopied dropoffareas. Patients who are being dropped off can comfortably enter the building, which also featuresnew lighting and welcoming new vestibules to keep the lobby and suite entrances warm in thewinter and cool in the summer. After dropping off passengers, drivers can then proceed to newlypaved parking lots at the Harris hospital. Pictured above are Vice President of PatientServices/Chief Nursing Officer Rolland V. “Boomer” Bojo Jr., CRMC Construction Manager JonHeimbach; and CEO/CMO Dr. Gerard Galarneau. CRMC is in the midst of a $5 million capital cam-paign that will support this monumental renovation effort. To date, many patient care areas havebeen beautifully renovated, and the hospital has generously received $1.3 million from loyal sup-porters. With the community's help, the hospital will be able to continue to provide outstandingcare for the generations of local families. Community members who may wish to donate to thecampaign should visit www.crmcny.org/capitalcampaign or call 845-794-3300 x2104.

More than a dozen veterans, local officials and Wayne Memorial Hospital staff gathered outside the hospital on Veterans Day to remember one of the dark-est days in U.S. history, the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on December 7th, 1941. President Franklin D. Roosevelt called it “a date which will live ininfamy.” The surprise attack by the Japanese claimed more than 2,000 lives and marked the official entry of the U.S. into World War II. The ceremony, ledby VFW Post 531 and Wayne Memorial Health Foundation Executive Director G. Richard Garman included an audio rendition of the attack as well as read-ings of events that day. In addition to the Pledge of Allegiance, the group said a somber prayer and laid a wreath at the hospital’s memorial plaque dedicatedto soldiers who lost their lives in World War I.

Chocolate historicallymore than just foodMany cannot resist chocolate,

that beloved creamy, sweetconfection derived from

cocoa beans, milk and sugar. All overthe world people love to indulge inchocolate, especially comeValentine's Day.

According to data fromLeatherhead Food Research,Switzerland consumes more choco-late per capita than any country inthe world. Ireland, the UnitedKingdom, Austria and Belgiumround out the top five.

Despite its apparent popularity inEurope, chocolate was first popular-ized among the Olmecs of Mexico,who used the cocoa beans morethan 3,500 years ago. However, itwasn't until the last 200 years thatchocolate turned into the sweet treatthat is known and loved today.

Aztecs believed cocoa had aphro-disiac properties, and chocolate con-tains a chemical called phenylethy-lamine, which is released naturally inthe body when a person falls in love.The aroma of chocolate can inducerelaxation, and chocolate also con-tains dopamine, a natural painkiller.

While chocolate is now used pri-marily as a food, over the years it hashad many other uses - some ofwhich are quite unique. Here aresome of the many ways people haveused chocolate throughout history.

·Money: The Mayans once usedcocoa beans as a form of currency, asdid the Aztecs. In this instance,money actually did grow on trees.

· Dental health: ArmanSadeghpour, a researcher at TulaneUniversity, says an extract of cocoapowder could be an effective alter-native to using fluoride. Chocolate-enhanced toothpaste may be thenext big thing.

· Fuel: Chocolate has been usedto feed bacteria that produce hydro-gen, which can be used as a cleanpower source.·Medicine: Chocolate is full of

antioxidants, which serve all sorts ofdisease-fighting benefits in the body.Dark chocolate provides the greatestnumber of health benefits, as it con-tains flavonols, which stimulate thebrain and support the circulatorysystem.

· Fashion: Designers and choco-latiers worldwide collaborate tomake sweet outfits at Le Salon duChocolat's fashion shows.

· Special effects: Before the daysof computer-simulated specialeffects, moviemakers had to employother methods to produce realisticresults. Legend has it that Boscobrand chocolate syrup was used asblood in the famed shower scene inthe classic horror movie "Psycho."Bosco was used because it showedup great in black and white.

· Skin care: Cocoa butter, a com-ponent of chocolate, has long beenused to moisturize and soothe dryskin. Many spas now incorporateorganic chocolate into their healingand beauty therapies.

· Perfume: Chocolate producesmore than 400 distinct smells andhas been used to make perfumemore fragrant.

·Mood enhancement: Chocolatemay help to improve mood, as it is amild stimulant and can affect sero-tonin levels, which govern those feel-good feelings, in the brain.

· Postage: In 2013, Belgium's postoffice sold limited-edition stampsthat were varnished with 40 percentof a cocoa product. The stampssmelled and tasted like chocolate.

Chocolate has been tempting tastebuds for thousands of years. It's alsobeen used in some very uniqueways, even if, come Valentine's Day,the majority of people would be con-tent just to eat it.

Chocolate is delicious to eat, but it has served many other purposes over theyears, too.

Many people find it diffi-cult to discuss gastroin-testinal problems with

their doctors, yet such issues arefar more common than you mightrealize. For example, irritablebowel syndrome (IBS), which ischaracterized by recurring

abdominal pain with either con-stipation or diarrhea, impactsnearly 35 million Americans --and its effects go beyond physicaldiscomfort, according to a newsurvey.

Three-quarters of IBS suffererssurveyed reported feeling frustrat-ed and/or depressed according toa new survey from the AmericanGastroenterological Association(AGA). And over half (52 percent)of all respondents said theirsymptoms were extremely or very

bothersome – so much so thatthey reported they would give upcaffeine (55 percent), their cellphone or Internet connection (47percent), or even sex (40 percent)for one month for the chance tofeel one month of relief.

The “IBS in America” survey,

commissioned by the AGA andconducted with the financial sup-port of Ironwood Pharmaceuti-cals, Inc. and Allergan plc, revealsmany insights that could proveuseful to both patients and doc-tors. For example, a majority ofsufferers said they wait more thana year before even talking with adoctor about their symptoms.

“Talking about bowel functionhabits is never easy, but it is con-cerning to see how long therespondents in this survey often

waited to talk to a doctor. Theremay not be a cure for IBS, butthere are treatments. Patientsneed to see a doctor, and doctorsneed to be proactive in bringingup this topic in conversation withpatients,” says Dr. Michael Camil-leri, president of the AGA.

The AGA recommends threesteps that can improve doctor-patient communication:

• Speak Up Early: The studyrevealed that many sufferers takethe advice of friends or familywithout speaking to a doctor orattempt to self-medicate withover-the-counter products, with-out success. Instead of suffering insilence or taking advice from peo-ple who aren’t health-care profes-sionals, talk to your physician

about recurring abdominal painand bowel symptoms.

• Speak Up Completely: Insteadof just saying “I have constipation”or “I have diarrhea,” tell a doctorabout the full extent of symptoms,how they impact your life, andwhat approaches you havealready tried to manage them.

• Speak Up Often: Tell a doctor ifsymptoms return despite treat-ment efforts. Your doctor can thenassess alternatives.

Full survey results and moreinformation about IBS can befound at ibsinamerica.gastro.org.

If you suffer from chronicabdominal pain and bowel symp-toms, remember, you’re not alone.

“IBS is the seventh most com-mon diagnosis made by all physi-cians and the most common diag-nosis made by gastroenterolo-gists,” points out Camilleri.

The sooner you seek profession-al help, the sooner you and yourdoctor can discuss all of youroptions for managing your symp-toms.

• In Japan: Hot green tea is poured

over a crushed ume, which is an alka-line-rich Japanese pickled plum.Drinking this “umeboshi tea,” full ofiron and potassium, is said to helpease fever associated with the flu.

• In the DominicanRepublic: A paste

of

• In China: A restorative dishis made from healing fritillariabulbs (Chuan bei mu) and anAsian pear. The center of thepear is scooped out to form abowl. A teaspoon of honey ismixed with fritillaria extract,which is then poured into thepear. The covered dish issteamed for 45 minutes to cre-ate a warm elixir to soothe thethroat. For maximum effect, ahoneysuckle and licorice roottea chaser provides addedimmune support.

“We make house calls”

Millions of Americans made theresolution this New Year tolose weight. But goal setting is

the easy part. Staying on the weightloss track and maintaining thatweight loss is where the challengesbegin.

Here are 10 tips to help you stickwith your weight loss resolution thisNew Year and beyond.

• Drink up: Hunger and thirst canoften be confused, so stay hydrated.But remember, beverages are not aplace to splurge on a ton of calories.Drink water. For a flavor boost, addfresh fruit slices or mint leaves.

• Snack mindfully: It is all too easyto derail an otherwise flawless diet bybinging at snack time. Be mindful ofyour snacks, and make sure theyoffer nutritional value and aredesigned to keep you satisfied untilyour next meal.

• Sleep: Studies show a linkbetween sleep deprivation andexcess pounds. While there are manytheories as to why this is, at the veryleast, getting enough sleep will pro-mote clear-headed, healthful choicesthroughout the day.

• Jumpstart your weight loss: Stud-ies show that early weight loss is apredictor of long-term success. Lookfor programs that keep you motivat-ed. A steady stream of constant

weight loss will add to your motiva-tion to continue with your programand keep you on the right track.

• Eat small: Research suggests thateating smaller, balanced mealsthroughout the day promotes greaterweight loss and maintenance. Sched-

ule meals every two to three hours,six times a day.

• Get moving: Exercise doesn’t haveto be daunting! Get started with 10-minute sessions, three times a day.Movement sets your metabolism inmotion so make sure it’s a consistent

part of your weight loss efforts.• Eat out, right: Restaurant por-

tions can be monstrous. Set asidehalf the meal and save it for later.Avoid key menu terms like “bread-ed,” “fried,” “crispy,” and “smoth-ered.” At buffets, fill your first plateup entirely with greens before mov-ing on to other options. Fill up onhealthy items.

• Embrace setbacks: Sometimesdiets get temporarily thrown offcourse by a missed workout or a sec-ond slice of birthday cake. Ratherthan throwing in the towel entirely,view the setback for what it really is,a temporary hiccup.

• Be accountable: Keep a food andexercise diary to reinforce goodhabits. Log food, drinks, activity,weight and more to stay accountable.

• Seek support: Weight loss andmaintenance is no cakewalk. Turn toweight loss counselors, dietitians andonline communities for support withyour weight loss journey. Many med-ical practices have weight loss coun-selors or nutritionists on staff.

With the right attitude and theright tools, you can make 2016 theyear you finally lose the weight forgood.
