Spanish Flu of 1918, Part 1 of 5
Returning WWI soldiers. Photo courtesy of Larry Oberly. By LARRY OBERLY and ED PANY Today our families, schools, businesses and churches have been severely impacted by the Covid 19 virus. Looking back in history, our world and the United States faced a pandemic in 1918. My friend Larry Oberly researched the 1918 pandemic in
the articles of the “Old Cement News,” the weekly paper served readers in Northampton, Coplay, Whitehall and the Cement Belt for over a half of a century. Mr. Oberly writes. It may be difficult to appreciate the suffering of the1918 Spanish Flu even though we have our own pandemic going on right

from Europe by returning soldiers. The spread of the virus was actually very slow during the spring and summer of 1918. As the United States raised money for “Liberty Loans” to fight the war in Europe, there were traveling trains and parades that moved
Northampton Borough Looks ahead to vaccine Distribution and honors Police Chief
Also during the meeting, Police Chief Bryan Kadingo was honored for 30 years of service to the borough as a member of the police department. He was presented with a special gift on behalf of the borough. “We would have liked to have done this at a public meeting, but it does not seem to be playing out that way,” Brobst said. “But they have been a very good 30 years.” The gift Kadingo received was a watch, engraved with his 30 years of service. In other news, it was announced that rental inspections have begun. This is the third year of the program. All rental owners should be receiving notices from the borough.
now. Some things to remember as we look back at what happened then and now, we need to see the context of 1918 versus today. Back then there was a World War going on. It had begun in 1914 in Europe and we sent our soldiers to help the allies fight, beginning in April of 1917. As we sent our soldiers, we also sent
By KERI LINDENMUTH As the COVID-19 vaccine begins its roll-out across the country, Northampton Borough Council is discussing how its employees and residents can safely acquire their vaccines once they are available. During council’s virtual meeting on Thursday, January 7, Councilman Robert McHale asked borough manager LeRoy Brobst whether any borough
buildings were being considered as distribution centers. With easy access, traffic flow, and parking, McHale said they would be ideal locations. Brobst agreed and said the borough is considering either the recreation center or community center. However, there is no definitive date as to when the vaccine will become available to municipal employees, who are classified under Phase 2B.

Moore Township fifth grader wins Statewide Stock Market Contest By KERI LINDENMUTH The classrooms of Moore Elementary School may be a long way from Wall Street, but fifthgrader Kaya Pietryka still felt an adrenaline rush when she started buying and trading imaginary stocks during her class’s Stock Market Challenge. Everything could change in a minute, she soon learned, and nothing was guaranteed. “It was fun because of the adrenaline rush [and] seeing that all my stocks could just drop,” the Moore Township student says. “It was also hard to find stocks that are doing very well in the market.” However, Kaya, an avid student of math and business, picked up on the tricks of the trade rather quickly. “I learned that you really need to hunt for that one really good stock and look at it for maybe a few days,” she adds.
It was this determination that led to Kaya winning the Statewide Elementary School Division of the Stock Market Challenge, held by the Pennsylvania Council on Financial Literacy and sponsored by Fidelity Bank. Out of all of the participating elementary school students in the state, she had the highest return on investments. During the challenge, Kaya and her peers had access to a realtime, web-based stock simulation game. They watched the stocks, bought, sold, and learned the real-life value of investing early and thoughtfully. It’s an authentic platform with all of the info real investors on real trading sites have access to. This is the third year that Kaya’s teacher Chris Hoenscheid and his students have participated in the challenge. The benefits, explains Hoenscheid, are endless. “I believe that it's so important

for students to develop financial literacy beginning at an early age,” he says. But students learn more than just financial literacy. They also start to understand the importance of critical thinking. After all, one must think carefully before they decide whether they want to buy or sell their investments. It’s an activity students look forward to every year. Adds Hoenscheid, “I think they enjoy studying the data, looking at the charts and analyst ratings, and making the decisions on their own.” Another thing students enjoy? Seeing just how big of a reward

one little investment can make. “When I introduce the competition and teach the students about what a stock is, I always use Amazon stock as one of the examples,” Hoenscheid says. “When they see that a $100 investment in Amazon in 1997 would be worth about $185,000 today, they get pretty excited.” Learning the stock market may seem daunting to college students, let alone to elementary students, but for Kaya, it was a welcomed challenge. “We’ve noticed that she tries more things now because the stock market has...taught her to work through tough situations,” explains Kaya’s parents, Katarzyna and Dominik Pietryka. “And [it showed her] that it is important to take risks.” Kaya is the third student from Moore Township to win statewide. In Spring 2019, another one of Hoenscheid’s Moore Elementary students placed second in the state. In Fall 2020, one of Hoenscheid’s students at George Wolf Elementary also placed second in the state. This experience has inspired Kaya to potentially consider a career in business or math when she grows up. “It does seem pretty fun to make a business and try to succeed on top of all the others,” she says. And after her amazing achievement in the Stock Exchange Challenge, her parents have no doubt that she can succeed at anything she sets out to accomplish. “We were very proud of Kaya when she won,” they say. “We always tell her that she can do anything she puts her mind to.”

Not that I am awake early enough to see the sunrise...I get to see it through all the pictures on Facebook though...How about the Steelers and the Browns game?? I’d call myself a Steelers fan and I had a real hard time sittin’ through that game. Some are sayin’ the Steelers were not prepared, and I’d have to agree. It showed.

Start Expecting More From Yourself
As a parent, who hasn’t expected certain things out of our children? At the very least we expect our children to keep their rooms clean and put forth their best effort at school. I expect my kids to be polite and show respect. I expect my children to have good personal hygiene, diet, and routine exercise. I also expect them to seek the Lord. I always will. My parents had expectations of me also. My mother still does. Clearly they are a little different than when I was an adolescent, yet appropriate expectation just the same. My mom expects me to love my siblings no matter what. My mother expects me to be faithful, kind, and generous. She also expects me to call her daily and see her regularly. Still, others have certain expectations of all of us. Our employers expect certain things. My patients expect certain things also and rightfully so. I would like to feel we exceed expectations in this regard. Not to be left out, our friends expect certain things of us as well. Even our society has certain expectations of citizens in general. A lot more could be said, yet let’s leave it there. What I would like to focus your attention on with this discussion is we should have clear expectations for ourselves. Clearly this
differs from person to person and perhaps decade of life to decade of life. With that said, at what point do you think we actually stop expecting things from ourselves? I hope never. Lord knows 2020 was arguably the strangest year any of us have had. That said, you would think all expectations could be thrown out the window. On one hand I would have a challenging time arguing the point. On the other, I have come to expect more. For clarification purposes, I expect more out of myself these days. What I expect from myself isn’t over the top. I do not set personal expectations that wear and tear me down. I have done that before and no good comes of it. Fantasy expectations and real world application expectations are vastly different. If we expect ourselves to be perfect, we are only inviting failure and dismay. I do, however, expect myself to work towards becoming a better version of myself each day. In 2020 I earnestly expected more of myself and from myself. If this pandemic has shown me anything it’s that each day needs to be lived fully present. No use living in the past and no use living for the future. Tomorrow will take care of itself as the old adage goes. Before one would be able to set self-imposed expectations, I feel it is important to determine your “why.” Perhaps this is the most important step to take. Once you have a real firm handle on your “why,” a lot comes into focus. Perhaps one of my biggest reasons why I set my own high level of self-expectations is that I want to make my children proud of me. Who wouldn’t? At the end of the day, at the end of the month, the year, and even my life, I want my three amazing children to be able to say, “That’s my dad!” If they cannot, then perhaps I completely missed the mark. Now that’s just one of many important areas to me. There are others, just as you have as well. Today I would encourage you to Continued on page 5

Finally, Brobst gave an update on the Cementon Bridge construction. Work has been delayed
for about nine months “for various reasons,” he said. However, he anticipates that work will begin around April 2022. When members of council asked what will happen to the bridge’s metal trestles, Brobst said nothing has been announced so far. However, he did say that they “are deteriorating to the point where they are not a whole lot of good.” Council’s next meeting will be held on Thursday, January 21.

The Cardinals’ Kiss By Charles McIlhaney Jr.
If you have ever kept a bird feeder, you may have noticed the peculiar practice of a male
and female cardinal occasionally touching their beaks together. A pair of cardinals will usually mate monogamously for their lifetimes. During their breeding season in warm months, the female pays full attention to building the nest and then hatching the eggs, while the male feeds her. Many ornithologists attribute their beak touching, even in cold months, as a carryover
from the nesting ritual. But to a romantic eye of the beholder, it can only be interpreted as a gesture of affection and confirmation of fidelity- a kiss. The male cardinal dressed in red Against the snow, a stunning find. With scarlet hood upon his head, All of a chivalrous kind.

For easily seen by hawks on the prowl, His garb is a daring fassion. And yet, his red flair and tufted cowl Evokes in his mate such passion. And when at the feeder they alight, Paired in mutual bliss, She rewards her gallant knight With a gentle kiss.

not think they should have let him go. Maybe they shoulda let someone else go...Anywho. We’re now unveiling a soup share. We figured ‘tis the season for soup, right? We thought it might be a nice way to embrace the coziness of winter and find some connection within our readership to do a soup share. Basically, share your favorite soup recipe with us, and we’ll feature one each issue in print and on Facebook. Easy enough right? We made good and featured a proper article in this week’s issue about the Moore Elementary student that won the stock market challenge. This issue also unveils the five-part
series on the 1918 Spanish Flu. Hope you enjoy it. The youngin’s are full of creativity, I saw that the fourth-graders of George Wolf Elementary School in Bath spread the message of kindness, unity and diversity with a Legacy Tile project. This project coordinates with NASD’s No Place for Hate initiative. We could all use a little less hate in the world right now... Need something to do? The ladies of Mountain View Wesleyan Church are still seeking volunteers to help make mats out of plastic bags for homeless veterans. You can even work on them from your own home if you’d rather not be around others at the moment... Well I gotta get goin’ and make some lunch, cya next time.

received the first dose of the vaccine “The distribution process is slower than we’d like, but it’s great to see more employees and so many residents getting vaccinated,” says Lamont McClure. “The sooner we can break the cycle of transmission, the sooner our residents can see their friends and family in-person again.” Additional vaccination distributions at Gracedale are scheduled through February. As of January 9, 246 personnel at Gracedale have received the first of two inoculations; 202 of those are County employees who are eligible for the $750 incentive. On Dec. 17, 2020, County Council approved Resolution 164-2020 authorizing a $750 incentive for Gracedale employees who get the vaccine. The money comes from residual CARES Act funding to address infection control in nursing homes.

from city to city to sell the notes. In September 1918
the show arrived in Philadelphia with a large contingent of wounded soldiers who had returned from the front. Tens of thousands lined the parade route. Within 10 days, 200,000 of the city were infected and more than 1,000 were already dead. By March of 1919, more than 15,000, citizens of that city were dead. It would take two years to bring the epidemic to an end. In larger cities the hospitals became so over crowded that schools, theaters and even private homes became makeshift hospitals, some staffed by medical students due to lack of medical help. This was the state of the pandemic in the fall of 1918. The Philadelphia outbreak would make Pennsylvania and the Northampton area the scene of intense action to prevent the spread of the disease. In two weeks, we will take a look at the “Local Effort.”

short-term rentals, it's really become a thing now," said David Backenstoe, Township Solicitor. "Many townships now regulate them. The case law has become extremely complicated and complex. Because they are something much different than we are used to, they are not a home you live in, and they are not a bed and breakfast. The phenomenon has become that some places are little hotbeds, like Lehigh Township, where shortterm rentals' popularity has grown. These rentals
Sandra Kaye Massimini 3452 Howertown Rd. Northampton, PA 18067
are usually in single-family residential dwellings, right next to other single-family residential homes. "Lehigh Township has a couple of people that had Bed and Breakfasts and no problems at all," Backenstoe said. "Wonderful residence, did a great job, the township didn't even really know they were there. There were even a couple of Airbnbs where they literally are rentals and advertised on the internet and the township didn't even know they were there because they were so good. People would come, they were nice, they were respectful, and they stayed for a week and then left. All of a sudden, a couple of, I believe, corporations, in New Jersey or Philadelphia, purchased some very upscale residential homes in some very upscale neighborhoods and rented them to people and it was a nightmare.” Backenstoe suggested assigning this to the planning commission, allowing them to conduct some research on the process of short-term rentals and see what they think and let them come up with some ideas, iron out the details and then bring it to the Board of Supervisors for their consideration and possible adoption. The Board of Supervisors passed a motion for the planning commission to start the researching process for short-term rentals in the area. The next Moore Township Board of Supervisors meeting will be held at 6 p.m. on February 2 through Zoom.

Are nuts safe for dogs to eat? www.petmd.com Many of the nuts we have in our pantries are technically safe for dogs, but there are a few types of nuts that are toxic to dogs, and any nuts that have gotten moldy are toxic to dogs. While small amounts of certain nuts and nut butters may be safely fed to your dog, it is important to be aware of all risk factors and potential toxicities. Although they are small in size, all nuts are high in fat and calories. Even when
only offered as a small snack or treat, a little goes a long way. For many dogs, it may be wise to steer clear of nuts and select a safer treat option that provides fewer calories, less fat and salt, and less concern for toxicity. Here are some risks of giving nuts as treats. They Are High in Calories and Can Cause Weight Gain For dogs that are overweight or
prone to weight gain, nuts should be avoided, as there are much lower calorie human foods that could be given as treats instead, like green beans or airpopped popcorn that’s free of butter and salt. If you do give your dog small amounts of peanut butter to take pills, for instance, you should not allow the calories provided by all combined treats (including the peanut butter) to exceed 10 percent of their total daily calories. This helps prevent treats from unbalancing your dog’s diet. Nuts Have High Fat Content That Can Cause Pancreatitis Additionally, the high fat content

of nuts can cause gastrointestinal (GI) upset in dogs with sensitive stomachs or those prone to developing pancreatitis. Pancreatitis is a condition where the pancreas becomes irritated and inflamed, and it usually requires a visit to the veterinarian. Symptoms can include decreased or no appetite, vomiting, lethargy, and sometimes diarrhea. Some breeds, like Schnauzers, are prone to this condition, and a high-fat diet in sensitive dogs can sometimes trigger the irritation. Nuts Can Have Coatings That Are Dangerous for Dogs Nuts can be coated with ingredients like cocoa or spices like garlic and pepper, and they also can have a high salt content. Those flavorful coatings can cause GI upset in dogs, and the high salt content is dangerous for a variety of reasons. Some dogs can develop high blood pressure as a result of eating too much salt. For other dogs prone to developing urinary stones or that have underlying heart or kidney disease, high-salt foods can worsen these conditions. Which Types of Nuts Are Safe or Toxic for Dogs? While some nuts are technically safe for dogs, there are still concerns you should keep in mind based on the type of nut. Peanuts and Peanut Butter- Peanuts are generally safe for dogs to eat, outside of the considerations mentioned above. Nut butters, like peanut butter or almond butter, are commonly offered as treats or used to administer medications. However, it is important to remember that like nuts, nut butters are

also high in calories, fat, and salt, so they should be used sparingly. Look at the ingredient list carefully, because some nut butters are made with the artificial sweetener xylitol. Xylitol is very dangerous for dogs, as it causes low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), and in some animals, liver failure. Walnuts- Be sure you know what type of walnut you feed your dog. English walnuts are generally safe for dogs to eat, outside of the considerations mentioned above. But black walnuts (a type of walnut not commonly eaten by people) are toxic for dogs. The symptoms of toxicity are vomiting, muscle weakness and tremors, a high temperature, and seizures. These types of nuts should never be fed to dogs. Macadamia Nuts- Macadamia nuts are toxic to dogs and can cause the same symptoms as black walnuts (vomiting, muscle weakness and tremors, a high temperature, and seizures.) Pistachios- Pistachios, with or without their shells (or hulls), can be choking hazards for dogs due to their size and shape. Cashews- Cashews are generally safe for dogs to eat, outside of the considerations mentioned above. Pecans- Pecans are generally safe for dogs to eat, outside of the considerations mentioned above. Almonds- Almonds, with or without their shells (or hulls), can be choking hazards for dogs due to their size and shape.
