Scheduling and mask concerns Discussed at Northampton Area School Board meeting

By LAUREN SCHUSTER The Northampton Area School Board held their January meeting on Monday, January 10, at 6:30 p.m. in the Northampton Area High School auditorium. While the school board has previously met twice a month, this week’s meeting signaled the changeover to meetings held once monthly, with a set meeting date on the second Monday of each month.

The night’s agenda included confirmation of various scheduling and personnel items.

The board addressed the budget planning for the fall, saying

they plan to have no tax increase for the 2022-2023 school year.

Board President James Chuss stated that updates with further details would follow in coming months, after a budget address from Governor Wolf.

The board then accepted the resignation of Meghan Lloyd as the Assistant Director of Special Education, effective Feb. 2, 2022.

They also approved revised lists of district volunteers and substitute teachers for the ongoing school year, as well as the calendar for the 2022-2023 year.

Northampton Area High

School’s graduation for the class of 2022 was confirmed for Friday, June 3, at 7:30 p.m., with rain dates of June 4 and June 5. The full calendar of events, including school breaks and holidays, is available on the Northampton Area School District website.

Several parents and community members expressed concern regarding the status of mask guidelines in area schools, specifically anxieties that children foregoing masks could feel isolated or singled out from their peers.

Red Cross: National blood Crisis may put patients at risk

Dire situation facing blood supply, those in need of blood transfusions.

Donors have the chance to help save lives, win trip to Super Bowl LVI Submitted by LISA LANDIS The American Red Cross is facing a national blood crisis – its worst blood shortage in more than a decade. Dangerously low blood supply levels are posing a concerning risk to patient care

and forcing doctors to make difficult decisions about who receives blood transfusions and who will need to wait until more products become available.

Blood and platelet donations are critically needed to help prevent further delays in vital medical treatments, and donors of all blood types – especially type O − are urged to make an appointment now to give in the weeks ahead.

In recent weeks, the Red Cross had less than a one-day supply of critical blood types and has had to limit blood product distribu-

tions to hospitals. At times, as much as one-quarter of hospital blood needs are not being met.

Pandemic challenges The Red Cross continues to confront relentless challenges due to COVID-19, including about a 10% overall decline in the number of people donating blood as well as ongoing blood drive cancellations and staffing limitations. Additionally, the pandemic has contributed to a 62% drop in blood drives at schools and colleges.

Our Best Friends Have Hairy Legs The Best Way to Treat Dry Skin on Dogs, According to Veterinarians

The causes, symptoms, and treatments every pet owner should know. goodhousekeeping.com/life/pets/ a30151037/dry-skin-on-dogscauses-treatments

Just like humans, dogs can suffer from dry skin. And unsurprisingly, some of the same causes of the condition in humans are responsible for dry skin on dogs, too. Although it's generally more of a discomfort than a serious danger to your pet, dry skin can be spotted and treated effectively so that your pup is back to living his best life in no time. Here are the causes, symptoms, and most effective ways to treat dry skin on dogs, according to veterinarians.

What causes Dry skin on dogs?

When the weather changes — or even when the conditions within a dog’s indoor environment change — dry skin can strike. “Dry skin in dogs can be due to environmental changes, such as cold weather in the winter [or low air humidity],” says Dr. Juliette Bouillon, assistant professor at Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine.

Another factor could be your dog’s food. She notes that “poor nutrition,” including deficiencies in protein, vitamins, or essential fatty acids, could be a culprit.

Just like people, dogs can suffer allergies to a number of different factors in their environment. "Because allergies can cause excessive itching in dogs and cats, it is one of the major causes of dry skin,” says Dr. Amanda Nascimento, the head of integrative veterinary medicine and research at NHV Natural Pet. “It can be caused by ingestion of food, dust, or liquids, for example.”

Similarly, all those baths you think are helping your dog stay in top condition might actually have the opposite effect on their skin. “Excessive bathing can also lead to dry skin, especially when the shampoo is not followed by a moisturizer,” Bouillon notes.

In some cases, your dog’s dry skin could be something more serious. “Ultimately, scaling can develop in association with some illnesses such as endocrine diseases (hypothyroidism, hyperadrenocorticism, diabetes mellitus), skin allergies, resolving skin infections, parasitic infestations (mange, lice, Cheyletiella) and, more rarely, cancer or genetic diseases like ichthyosis (fish scale disease),” Bouillon warns.

What are the symptoms Of dry skin on dogs?

Because there are several different causes of dry skin on dogs, there are also a range of symptoms.

“The first step is to be able to identify dry skin,” says Wag! advisory board member and veterinarian Dr. Ann Eliopulos. “Typically, these dogs will have a lackluster coat and flakes, which are dead skin cells that are sloughing off. A certain amount of flaking is normal, but excessive amounts and/or chronic flaking is not.”

Other symptoms are more serious and often require a visit to the vet, says Dr. Gary Richter, a veterinarian with Rover.com. These symptoms include redness, which can indicate inflammation in the skin from an allergic or infectious cause; crusting, which may indicate a fungal, bacterial, or parasitic infection; itchiness, which could indicate parasites, allergies, bacterial, or fungal infections; hair loss, which could indicate endocrine changes, autoimmune disorders that attack the skin and fur, parasites, or fungal infections; or an odor, which is usually indicative of a yeast infection that is a common secondary infection with bacterial or other infections. In many of these cases, your vet will recommend effective prescription medications as a next step.

What are the best Treatments for Dry skin on dogs?

If there are no underlying causes requiring further treatment, follow a healthy, vet-advised protocol

Consider donating to a shelter or Rescue on January 17

By HOME NEWS STAFF Betty White’s recent death and upcoming 100th birthday have inspired fans to donate to local pet rescues and animal shelters.

Betty White was an avid animal lover, and on her birthday, January 17, consider donating to a local rescue or shelter in her memory.

Being toted as the “Betty White Challenge,” the movement will surely help out furry friends in need and the people who selflessly work to keep them safe and taken care of until they find their forever home.

Some local shelters and rescues (this is not a comprehensive list): Pibbles Paws Safe Haven, Outcast Rescue, Peaceable Kingdom, Forgotten Felines and Fidos, LoveAble Ferals, Feline Finish Line Rescue, Furry Feet Rescue, Christina’s Reptile and Animal Sanctuary, Foxy’s Cradle, Lehigh County Humane Society, Pets in Need, Hound Hunters of NEPA, Inc., Sanctuary at Haafsville, Last Chance Ranch, Center for Animal Health & Welfare, Starting Over Animal Rescue, Harnessed to Hope Northern Breed Rescue, Friends of Feline Urban Rescue and Rehab, Tattered Tails Animal Rescue of PA, Fureverhomes Doberman Rescue, Be Their Voice.

to keep your pet’s skin moist and decrease dry skin.

First, make sure your dog’s shampoo is gentle and moisturizing (human shampoo is at the wrong pH), then follow up with a conditioner, suggests Dr. Richter. After the shampoo, don’t blow dry your pet’s coat. “Even cool blow dryers will dry out the coat, Richter notes. “Toweling down and blotting to absorb the majority of the moisture will be effective enough and your pet will naturally take care of the rest.”

Make sure your dog’s food is nutritionally balanced. Most packaged pet food from pet stores is nutritionally balanced for dogs, but “look for the AAFCO symbol on the back of pet food to be sure,” Richter advises. “If this symbol is not on the feed packaging, then it is not being appropriately regu-

lated and may not contain the nutrients your pet needs to maintain healthy skin and a fur coat.”

Consider supplementing your pet’s diet with products like fish oil and probiotics to improve the coat and skin condition. Adding a little moist food and supplying abundant fresh water will also increase your pet’s hydration intake and add moisture to the skin.

Beyond that, make sure you’re keeping up your flea-prevention treatments all year long. "This is a standard veterinary recommendation, even if you rarely see a flea.

That’s because as soon as a flea jumps on and bites your pet, the saliva is allergenic enough to cause itching and scratching which creates a vicious cycle of inflammation and infection,” Dr. Richter says. “It’s better to just prevent a bite.”

It is a FELONY to keep a dog outside longer than 30 minutes in any temp below 32 degrees!

munities in need, part of the engineers’ training was to sharpen their skills helping the public.

Ruch recalls, “I did repairs and put coils in heaters in 96 civilian homes in the village.”

In October, the unit was notified they would be leaving Fort Belvoir for an unidentified destination.

The engineers left the fort and boarded two pullman cars and started north. The young soldier from the village of Weaversville would embark on the journey of a lifetime. He boarded the train Oct. 5, 1944. A commercial train, they would transfer to an Army train later.

The train left Richmond, Va., Oct. 5 with stops at Cincinnati, Ohio; East St. Louis, Mo.; Kansas City, Mo.; Hutchinson, Kan.; Pueblo, Colo.; and Salt Lake City, Nev. At Salt Lake, they boarded an all-servicemen train for Pittsburg, Calif.

It reminded this writer of Willie Nelson’s song “On the Road Again.”

Pvt. Ruch wrote, “We marched right through the town of Pittsburg, Calif., which I cannot understand. They wanted to keep the

movement secret but marched us straight through the main street of town. We arrived at the docks and boarded a ferryboat named Catalina. It was a 2-mile walk to the docks.”

Finally, there was the USS Zeilin. The ship was acquired by the Navy in July 1940. It was classified as a Haskell Class attack transport. The ship left Oct. 5 and passed under the majestic Golden Gate Bridge.

“The voyage across the Pacific Ocean ended at Finschhafen, New Guinea, Nov. 11, 1944. The sea was rough, and sea sickness made the passage very unpleasant for the men. When they crossed the equator, there was the traditional King Neptune festival, a rite of passage for seamen who never crossed the equator. It is a series of hazing rituals. The festivities provided a welcome break from the tedium of a long voyage.

There was not much to do on the ship but read.”

On Nov. 7, 1944, they sighted land and landed at the port of Finschhafen, New Guinea. Most of the men never even heard about the country, yet it was a key battleground of World War II. Pvt. Ruch was a prolific writer.

He wrote more than 200 letters and was very surprised that all letters were censored for security issues. Did any of our readers ever see a V-Mail-Victory Mill?

V-Mail letters cut the weight and volume of mail. When a serviceman or woman wrote a letter, it was censored and placed on microfilm. When the letter was received A.P.O. at San Francisco, it was transferred to thin sheets of paper and forwarded to your home, wife or friends.

We’ll be in New Guinea in two weeks.

Red Cross

Continued from page 1

“Winter weather across the country and the recent surge of COVID-19 cases are compounding the already-dire situation facing the blood supply,” said Dr. Baia Lasky, medical director for the Red Cross. “Please, if you are eligible, make an appointment to give blood or platelets in the days and weeks ahead to ensure no patient is forced to wait for critical care.”

Over the next month, about 44.8% of donation appointments remain unfilled in our area. Make an appointment to give blood or platelets as soon as possible by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

The Red Cross and the NFL are partnering this January, during National Blood Donor Month, to urge individuals to give blood

or platelets and help tackle the national blood shortage. Those who come to give blood, platelets or plasma in January will automatically be entered for a chance to win a getaway to Super Bowl LVI in Los Angeles. As an extra thank-you from the Red Cross, those who come to donate will also be automatically entered to win a home theater package and a $500 e-gift card. Terms apply; visit RedCrossBlood.org/SuperBowl for more information.

Who donations help Kala Breder knows all too well how dire not having blood available can be. In July 2020, hours after the birth of her son by emergency Cesarean section, Breder developed a complication and began bleeding uncontrollably.

As doctors fought to save her life, they exhausted the entire blood supply at the hospital as well as all available blood within a 45-mile radius. Ultimately, she was flown to another hospital because there wasn’t enough blood locally.

Breder credits the 58 different blood products she received with helping save her life. “Without

one of those, I probably wouldn’t be here,” she said. “I needed every last unit.”

Volunteers needed In addition to blood donors, the Red Cross also needs the help of volunteers to support critical blood collections across the country. Blood drive volunteers play an important role by greeting, registering, answering questions and providing information to blood donors throughout the donation process. Blood transportation specialists – another volunteer opportunity − provide a critical link between blood

donors and blood recipients by delivering blood to hospitals in communities across the country.

Blood drive safety Each Red Cross blood drive and donation center follows the highest standards of safety and infection control, and additional precautions – including face masks for donors and staff, regardless of vaccination status – have been implemented to help protect the health of all those in attendance. Donors are asked to schedule an appointment prior to arriving at the drive.

As I am sitting down to write this week's column, it's only 19 degrees outside and later tonight we'll be in the single digits! We finally got a sufficient amount of snow, enough to make travel a pain in the butt. Looks like more snow along the way, 1-3 inches here and there, I'd take that over the big one we got last year.The Nazareth Arts Center had to postpone their upcoming production of "12 Angry Jurors." Stay tuned on rescheduled dates.Feels like spring of 2020 all over again with fears of Covid and stuff getting shut down/cancelled/postponed.

I read that starting on Saturday, private health insurers will be required to cover eight at-home COVID-19 tests per month for people on their plans. That is good news seein' as they're not exactly cheap. Cowboys really whooped the Eagles on Saturday night, although I wonder what the score woulda been if first string players had been in for the Eagles? Oh well, let's see how they do on Sunday afternoon against the Bucs. The Red Cross and the NFL are teaming up for January, National Blood Donor Month.
