Springfield Township cele-brated its bicentennial underBryan, and the township builtits senior center during his dec-ades of service. TheSpringfieldTownship Fire Department wasborn from the Northern Hillsdepartment during his time as atrustee. The township devel-oped a facility plan for build-ings: the civic center, the policeand service department build-ings were all included.

The township undertook theWinton Road streetscape pro-ject, adding decorative lightposts, sidewalks and brandingWinton Road overpass at theRonald Reagan/Cross CountyHighway with special signageto raise awareness of the com-munity.

The township also undertookthe Winton Road Corridor andOverlayDistrictduringhis timeon the board. Trustees tackledzoning and property mainte-nance in the township whileBryan sat on the board.

The Springfield Townshippolice and fire departments re-ceived accreditation and thetownship fire department’s ISOrating improved from 5 to 3.

The township also created anarts and enrichment council.

Fellow Trustee Joe Honer-law said Bryan always servedthebest interest of the townshipand its residents.

Bryan, 67, said he hasbeen involved with thetownship in some way foralmost half his life. Heworked as a police officerbefore he ran for trusteein the township.

He said he has beenmindful of what kind of

legacy he would leave.“I wanted to do this in

such a way that when mykids and my grandkidswalked through Spring-fieldTownship, theycouldbe proud because of how Ihad conducted the town-ship’s business. Yourname is really what youleave behind, so I havetried to be fair and to dowell. I wanted my familyto proud.”

He says he is mostproudof thequalityofser-vice the township is nowable to provide to the resi-dents with its limited re-sources. “I amdisappoint-ed to see what the statehas done to local govern-ments in the area of fund-ing,” he said.

Bryansaid thefarewellat theDec.10meetingwasunexpected, but he wasgrateful for the kindnessof the township staff withwhom he has worked.

“It was unanticipatedand a suprise,” he said. “Iwill miss the people, butit’s time to do somethingelse.”

That something else in-cludes launching a busi-ness that repairs pres-sure-relief valveswith hisson.

Men – pay attention to your healthAlthough November was

Men’s Health Awarenessmonth, attention should bedrawn throughout the year tothese common issues for men.

A common problem in men’shealth is low testosterone (Alsoknown as Low T). Testosteroneis a hormone produced in themale body. Low T occurs inabout 39 percent of men age 45or older.

Some symptoms of Low Tare increased body fat, de-creased muscle mass, de-creased energy, depression,loss of body hair and de-

creased sexualdesire or activ-ity. A simpleblood test isdone to mea-sure theamount oftestosterone inyour blood.

Some healthconditionsconnected with

Low T are Type 2 diabetes,kidney disease, obesity andobstructive lung disease. It isnot always easy to talk aboutsymptoms of Low T with your

health care provider. The goodnews is that symptoms of LowT often times can be treated.

Treatments vary for Low T.First of all, a blood test is doneto show what your testosteronelevel is. Once this is known,testosterone replacement ther-apy is started. Testosteronereplacement comes in severalforms. Gel can be applied onyour skin and covered. A patchcan be applied to your skin.You can take a tablet by mouth.Sometimes you and yourhealth care provider canchoose an injection or a pellet

that is placed under your skinto release the testosterone.

Remember this is not lifethreatening and treatment iseasy and can change your life.

About one man in six will bediagnosed with prostate cancerduring his lifetime. The risksignificantly increases afterage 50 in white males and after40 in black males or men whohave a close relative with pros-tate cancer. Prostate canceroccurs approximately 60 pe-rent more often on African-American men than in whiteAmerican men. There are a

few different tests your pro-vider can perform to screenyou for prostate cancer. Besure to check with your provid-er to get tested.

Men also need to be sure todo self breast examsmonthlysince we can get breast cancertoo.

The holidays are a time offamily, friends, traditions andgratitude.

When a loved one has aterminal ill-ness, the sea-son can alsomean addedstress, fatigue,and financialburdens. Mostfamilies wouldnot want tospend theholiday seasonin and out ofan emergencyroom, yet

nearly one in five Medicarebeneficiaries is readmitted tothe hospital within 30 days ofrelease. According to the NewEngland Journal of Medicine,this translates to $17.4 billion

in Medicare spending on pa-tients whose return tripscould have been avoided.

Avoidable hospital read-missions among Medicarebeneficiaries has become atop priority for both policy-makers and the Centers forMedicare and Medicaid Ser-vices as hospitals feel addedpressure to help patients re-main at home. The CMS hastaken on several initiatives toreduce readmissions frompenalizing hospitals with highreadmission rates to imple-menting shared savings pro-grams in an effort to increasecare coordination among pro-viders.

There are some returntrips to the hospital that areunavoidable due to complica-tions, new and unrelated prob-

lems, or anticipated steps ofcertain treatment plans. Somepatients are also readmittedbecause they live in a regionwhere hospitals are used morefrequently as a place of carefor illnesses.

Regardless of where pa-tients reside, education andsupport are key factors inpreventing readmissions. Toooften, a rushed dischargedprocess and a lack of neces-sary follow up care leavesdischarged patients unable tofollow instructions about anew diagnoses or new medica-tion. The Agency for Health-care Research and Qualityreported that while patientswith one or more chronic con-ditions represent just fivepercent of the patient pop-ulation, they account for more

than 50 percent of the healthcare costs.

Increasingly, hospitals areforming collaborative part-nerships with palliative careand hospice providers to com-bat avoidable readmissions.For terminally ill patients,hospice is one resource avail-able to help patients remainhome for the holidays. Hos-pice and palliative care pro-viders work closely with pa-tients and families to identifycare preferences, managesymptoms, and address clin-ical, emotional and spiritualneeds through a team ap-proach. This type of care al-lows patients to pick up thephone in a time of crisis andreceive medications at home.During the holidays, familiescan spend more time creating

memories and sharing tradi-tions instead of making emer-gency room trips.

Integrating palliative careservices early, and makingtimely and appropriate hos-pice referrals can not onlyimprove patient experiences,but address some of the mostimportant issues faced byhospitals today: quality im-provement, increasing coor-dination, preventing complica-tions, reducing costs – andultimately, return trips to thehospital in a patient’s finalstages of life when the com-forts of home and quality timewith family are most impor-tant.

There has been muchwritten about the spiritof this season.

One of the most fam-ous was the letter writ-ten by 8-year-old Vir-ginia O’Hanlon in a letterto the editor of NewYork’s Sun. The newspa-per’s journalist, FrancisPharcellus Church,printed an editorial onSept. 21, 1897, titled,“Yes, Virginia, there is aSanta Clause.” The firstpart of editorial is: “Vir-ginia, your little friendsare wrong. They havebeen affected by theskepticism of a skepticalage. They do not believeexcept what they see.”

My response comes inthe form of poetry, enti-tled, “I Still Believe”

“I remember, I oncebelieved in unicorns thatdanced at rainbow endswhere gold like magicwas a leprechaun’s play.

“I believed in thetooth fairy that show-ered me with star dustand sweet dreams ofquarters for teeth lost.

“I believed in a bunnyrabbit that hopped andhid chocolate eggs alongwith jelly bean pies.

“I believed in SantaClaus because he hadreindeers and bells; wasold, was wise, and re-sponded to my mis-spelled requests.

“Like my mom’s fam-ous oatmeal cookies, I

ate, I de-vouredthese leg-ends withthe hungerof a boyishappetite.

“Whenmy worldwentwrong,they made

it right!“Then one day the bell’s

ring I couldn’t hear; not asound. The unicorn dis-appeared, as did the toothfairy; now a Sunday newscartoon.

“The Easter bunny hitby a car and Santa Clausreplaced with a newermodel; a hero with a capeand a letter S inked on hischest.

“A war broke out in afaraway land and bloodfound a hole to pour fromthe body’s dam.

“My childhood ended asa TV reality show tookover. I tried to save whatmemories I could by mold-ing them into a candle.

“As hours move intoweeks and days becomeyears, I still make time tolight the candle’s flame, tolight the inner self, tolight the lost spirit.

“I place this candle inmy earth’s window and myspirit awakens to believeonce more.”

Dec. 11 questionDo you think Ohio legislators

should approve a bill to allowback-to-school shoppers to buycertain itemsfreeofstateandlo-cal sales taxes?Whyorwhynot?

“This is essentially a salestax reduction. If we really donot need to collect so muchmoney from the sales tax whynot just reduce the tax?

“This is political smoke andmirrors designed to make thepeople sponsoring the bill lookgood at very little cost. It is asham that will create a lot ofgame playing and fraud on thedayswhen there is no tax, poli-tics at its worst.”

F.S.D.

“No – why single out thisparticular group for tax-freestatus? And how would youeven determine what is aschool-related expense?

“What I would support: sea-sonal tax-free shoppingweeks,such as NewYork City offers -eithera totalmoratoriumonallsales tax for that period or notax on a specific item such asclothing, cars, furniture, etc.This could be a huge boost tothe economy.”

J.S.B.

“Now that is not a bad idea.Teachers already have salestax exempt status for supplies,why not students and familiesfor their learningmaterials?”

O.H.R.

“Since 1965, the Depart-ment of Education has proventhat the federal governmentneeds to get out of the state’sway with regard to the educa-tion of children. Ohio legisla-

tors are also guilty, and need tostand down. Legislators needto fix the roadsandbalance thebudget and quit wasting timeon abortion and pandering toparents.”

K.P.

“Talk about complexity!How do we ID someone whofits thisdescriptiononlineor inthe store?

“Then, consider the admini-stration of this at the store lev-el; another thing for the mini-mumhourlywageclerk tohan-dle.

“Then, what interest groupwould be next in line for spe-cial consideration?

“We should be looking forways to simplify our tax sys-tems and this proposal failsmiserably. We have a widerange of prices available toshoppers, some of which willmeet their budget limitations.A big ding to this idea.”

T.J.

“I would always think it is agood idea to get something taxfree. I am also sure that therewill be abit of scamminggoingon ... oh well.”

DECEMBER 18, 2013 • HILLTOP PRESS • B3LIFE

I wrestled with myselfabout sharing, onceagain, my latest clone ofWilliams-Sonoma pepper-mint bark. After all, my

recipe lastyear wasexcellent,and thedifferencethis year isthat I usedpremiumbar choco-lates onlyandtweakedthe recipe

a tiny bit. Well, I’ve beengetting lots of requestsfor this special barkalready, so I’m takingcreative license andsharing what I now callmy latest and greatest.And, I might add, myvery last recipe for thistreat!

However you cele-brate, I hope each of youhas the best holiday sea-son. Remember, the bestthings in life aren’t“things.”

Rita’s ultimate cloneof Williams-Sonomapeppermint bark2013

Use the best qualitychocolates and candy (noimitation peppermint inextract or candy) tomake it as close to Wil-liams-Sonoma as pos-sible. As mentioned, Iused the highest qualitybar chocolates, which Ichopped. Whether youuse bars or morsels, readlabels. The semi-sweetchocolate should be realchocolate, not chocolate-flavored.

The first two ingredi-ents in white chocolateshould be sugar and co-coa butter. No palm,palm kernel or coconutoil if you want it to belike Williams-Sonoma.These oils may be a cul-prit for layers sometimesnot bonding, resulting inseparation.

That doesn’t mean youcan’t make wonderfulbark with whatever choc-olate fits your budget. Ialso have more barkrecipes on my blog, asingle-layer one for kidsand a three-layer one.

Prep pan:Line a cookie sheet

with one piece of foil,about 10 inches by 12inches. Or do the same ina 9-inch by 13-inch pan.

First layer:

2 cups (12 oz.) semi-sweetchocolate, divided into 11⁄4and 3⁄4 cupmeasures

1 teaspoon peppermintextract

Use a double boiler ifyou have one, or put 11⁄4cups chocolate in heat-proof bowl. Set oversaucepan that has 1 inchof steaming water, mak-ing sure bowl does nottouch water. (This is amakeshift double boiler).Heat should be turned tolow so no steam/waterescapes into chocolate,which can turn it grainy.Stir until chocolate isalmost melted but stillhas a few lumps, thenremove bowl and stir inremaining chocolateuntil smooth. Stir in ex-tract and pour onto foil,spreading evenly. Let setat room temperature orin refrigerator until

hard.Second layer:

23⁄4 cups white chocolate,divided into 21⁄4 and 1⁄2 cupmeasures

1⁄2 teaspoon peppermintextract

1⁄4 to 1⁄3 cup crushedpeppermint candy, sievedto remove tiny particles

Put 21⁄4 cups whitechocolate in clean bowland repeat process formelting, stirring in re-maining chocolate afterremoving bowl. Stir inextract. Let cool a bit.Pour over chocolate lay-er and spread.

Finishing with candy:Sprinkle candy and

gently press into choco-late. Let set at room tem-perature or in refriger-ator until hard. Peel barkoff foil and break or cutinto pieces. If it’s been inthe refrigerator, let it sitout a bit so it’s easy tobreak or cut. Store inrefrigerator.

Note: If you meltchocolates in microwave,check frequently as theycan turn grainy and burneasily.

Classic macaronisalad

For Celia, a DelhiTownship reader, whowants to make this along-side her holiday ham. “Ihad the recipe for yearsand misplaced it. Some-times we added shrimpto it,” too, she said. Go totaste on ingredients.

Salad:Mix together:

8 oz Mueller’s Small ElbowMacaroni, cooked andcooled

1⁄4 to 1⁄3 cup onion, diced2 ribs celery, diced1 small bell pepper, diced

Dressing:Combine and pour

over cooled pasta. Youmay not need all of it, soadd half, taste, and addmore if you like.

2 tablespoons preparedmustard

2 teaspoons sugar

1⁄4 cup cider vinegar or moreto taste

11⁄2 cups mayonnaise

Chill before serving.To add shrimp: Add 1⁄2

pound cooked smallshrimp to salad.

Can you help?Chick-fil-A’s apple

cider dressing for AmyM. who loves the dress-ing and hopes someone

can clone it or sharesomething similar. “Mar-zetti used to carry a simi-lar one, but discontinuedit”, she said.

At TriHealth, we’ve been building something important in the

fight against cancer. It’s bigger than any hospital, it’s the TriHealth

Cancer Institute. Residents of the West Side who are diagnosed

with cancer receive the experienced care of their local physician

along with the strength of an entire health system of doctors and

specialists. Each cancer patient’s case is reviewed by a team of

doctors we call a “tumor board,” who will then determine the best

treatment options. Plus, patients get to stay focused on recovery,

as our nurse navigators schedule appointments and keep them on

track. It’s this team approach that’s helping us turn cancer patients

into cancer survivors. To learn more, go to TriHealth.com.

B4 • HILLTOP PRESS • DECEMBER 18, 2013 LIFE

A lot of us have lifeinsurance policies, butmay not be aware of allthe provisions in thepolicy. One area womansaid not knowing about aprovision in her hus-band’s policy has costher a lot of money.

Kathy Thompson ofBridgetown said she’supset with the life insur-ance company and her-self for not realizing akey money-saving provi-sion was in the policy.Thompson said of herhusband, “He becamedisabled about two and ahalf years ago and whothinks of looking at yourinsurance policy. Recent-ly, the insurance compa-ny called and they want-ed to sell us more insur-ance.”

The life insurancepolicy is a small one, just$9,000, and is one ofseveral her husbandbought. What she didn’t

remember,until theagent re-mindedher, wasthe policycontains adisabilitywaiver.she saidthe agenttold her,

“You have a disclaimeron your policy where ifhe’s disabled we’ll payhis premiums. I said,‘Really?’”

Thompson said theproblem was, even afterexamining that policy,the waiver wasn’t veryclear. “There’s differentcolumns and they’ve gotsuicide exclusions.They’ve got all thesetitles over here butthere’s nothing aboutdisability. You have toreally, really look for it,”she said.

The Thompsons pay

more than $14 each yearfor the disability waiver.But, I noticed even onthe policy itself it justsaid disability waiver. Asa result, Thompson haspaid the yearly premiumfor more than two yearssince her husband be-came disabled. The in-surance agent told her,unfortunately, she canonly get back the premi-um for one of thoseyears.

Thompson then calledthe insurance companyitself and spoke with amanager who told hercompany policy is toreimburse for only oneyear. “She said, ‘Thereare people that have hada policy with us for 30years and have beendisabled and they havethat waiver and theydon’t know about it. Westill only give them backone year.’” Thompsonsaid she thinks that’s a

terrible policy and wantsto alert others.

The disability waiveris not automatic in mostlife insurance policies,it’s a separate provisionyou can buy. So, you maywant to check to see ifyou have that waiver inyour policy.

Thompson said shelearned a valuable lessonto get a copy of that pro-vision in writing. Notonly will it help you re-member you have thatprotection, but it willalso explain exactlywhat’s required beforethe insurance companyconsiders someone to bedisabled so the disabilitywaiver will apply.
