Looking by Back Ed Pany Spanish Flu of 1918, Part 5 of 5
By LARRY OBERLY and ED PANY In this column, we conclude with a view of the Spanish Flu in the Northampton area and beyond. In November of 1918, the Cement News for the first time published how to treat yourself or your family if infected with the Spanish Flu. They said: Go to bed, remain quiet, take laxatives, eat plenty of nourishing food, keep up your strength, remember nature is the only cure. Always call the doctor. Deaths were reported to be about 1 in every 400 cases. People were under the impression that those hit hardest were those who did not go to bed soon enough or got out of bed too early. Evidence was reported that the flu was spread by human contact, chiefly coughing, sneezing or spitting (many men chewed tobacco), and avoiding colds. While no cure existed, it was thought that Quinine or aspirin or Dover’s Powders may be prescribed by the doctor to relieve aches and pains. Many over the counter and snake oil salesmen advertised like mad that their product was the best to rid the body of the effects of this disease. The number of obituaries in the weekly Cement News were on the rise and the most common cause of death was pneumonia. Due to the family celebrations of Thanksgiving, Pennsylvania reported 35,000 dead and infections were at 500,000. An army of volunteers who worked in the improvised hospitals were

In the week before Christmas the newspaper headline read, “Deaths Harvest of the Week.” Before Thanksgiving the number of cases in Northampton were on the decline. In early December they were rising again. People were again urged to avoid crowds. This would create a disproportionate impact Continued on page 4

on the young who always had a Christmas Program at Church or Sunday School. These would spread the illness even farther. In a resident school in Pennsylvania, 185 out of 187 students were infected. Many schools were forced to close again. People were advised to keep their children out of crowded stores. In the last month of the year in Northampton, a family of five had deaths within that month. The first was a mother who had just given birth in the month, she was followed a few weeks later by her new baby, and within a few days, the baby’s older brother and older sister, one day apart. The family of five had only the father, James Haldeman, survive. We hope you have enjoyed looking back at a period of our history 102 years ago, in almost the same time of year and under similar circumstances as present day. The more things change, the more they stay the same in many ways. The lesson may be that when confronted with a health emergency that we have never seen before, we have no option but to make decisions that benefit the wellbeing of the greatest number of people. Next time, join us for our next series where we travel to the year 1931.

Antibacterial wet wipes donated to Bath By CATHERINE STROH Volunteer Fire Dept. The Bath Volunteer Fire De-
partment received a donation of nine boxes of antibacterial wet wipes last Thursday, donated by the Lehigh Dialogue Center. Fire Chief Chuck Tully and Second Assistant Fire Chief Christopher Keenhold were present at the station to accept the donation. Chief
Tully expressed his gratitude and explained what goes into being a firefighter, for instance it costs over $8,000 to outfit one firefighter safely. Tully stressed the importance of being personable and professional while on (and off) the job. The fire department loves to be involved in the community, especially participating in local Halloween parades. They also visit local schools and meet with students to show them that
firefighters are not scary, that they are people just like me and you. “We try to instill that you should not be afraid of firefighters,” said Chief Tully. The volunteer fire department currently has around 35 volunteers and are always accepting new volunteers. Chief Tully explained that training is paid for by either them or the county; Continued on page 10

NORTHAMPTON AREA Northampton Borough Council Meets with Change on Main By CHRISTINA SANTO The Northampton Borough Council met on Thursday, March 4 at 7:30 p.m. to discuss routine township business and address any concerns from residents. Council passed a motion to hire a new part-time police officer at the recommendation of police chief Bryan Kandingo. The new officer, along with three other recent police department hires, were introduced to council. Rachel Puccio, a Certified Recovery Specialist (CRS) at Change on Main, discussed the organization’s goals and programs. Change on Main’s goal is to provide a safe environment for people in all stages of recovery from substance abuse. One program that Change on Main offers is the PAIR program, or Police
Aiding Individuals in Recovery; this is a grant-funded program that can assist the community by completing drug and alcohol assessments and offer certified recovery specialist support services. Change on Main is also working to bridge the gap between the Department of Veteran Affairs and recovery centers, so veterans are able to get the help they need. Next, borough council passed a motion allowing the Northampton Exchange Club to hold their annual Community Days Fair in the Municipal Park between July 7 and July 10, 2021; the fair was canceled last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Borough Planning Commission will have a meeting on Wednesday, March 10 at 7 p.m. in council chambers; the meeting
serves to reorganize and review the final plan for Willowbrook Farms phase II project. There is an opening on the Civil Service Commission, due to the passing of Barry Dorshimer; the term will expire Dec. 31, 2025. Interested parties can fill out an application in the borough office. Regular street sweeping will resume on March 8; the King Street Recycling Center will be open for borough residents once again, weather permitting. Finally, council discussed the possibility of creating an administrative assistant position to assist Borough Manager LeRoy Brobst with the added MS4 project responsibilities. It will be added to the next meeting as an executive session when all council members are present. The next borough council meeting will be held on Thursday, March 18 at 7:30 p.m. in the municipal building.

Soup Share Heritage Slovak Christmas Sauerkraut Soup
Submitted by Reverend Jerry Mraz This is a traditional soup that is served on Christmas Eve dinner in the Slovak (Slavic) community. Ingredients 1 large can sauerkraut 1 small can sauerkraut 2 large cans of water 1 whole onion ½ tsp Caraway seeds 1 clove garlic 2-3 bay leaves 1 small can tomato sauce ½ c. dried mushrooms 6-7 peeled potatoes 1-2 lbs. smoked pork ham hocks, smoked tenderloin, or smoked spareribs

Directions Put all ingredients (except the potatoes) into a big pot and let cook for 1½ to 2 hours until the meat is tender. Put peeled potatoes in when nearly done (about ¾ hour before the end.) If too sour, add some water before it is finished. (If you save the juice from the sauerkraut and you find that you do not have enough liquid for soup after cooking, you can use the liquid to increase the volume of liquid soup. Add some warm water and some of the juice and add it to the cooked soup. This will increase the volume of liquid for the soup. Just remember that it is very sour, so a little goes a long way.) This soup is good with thick noodles or cooked buckwheat. Buckwheat: Bring about a quart of the sauerkraut soup liquid to a boil in a pot. Put in a half cup of Buckwheat. Continue to simmer until the buckwheat kernels start to crack open (like mini popcorn). Remove from heat and ladle into sauerkraut soup on soup plates.

If you are interested in helping, please contact Gloria at 610-837-1190 (leave a message) to see what time is available while still social distancing. Normally each frame can be worked on by up to five people at a time and can be completed in as little as three and a half hours. With the current limits the goal is to complete at least one each week. If you are interested but not quite sure you’re welcome to stop in and see the process, just give a call to arrange the best time to visit. If you don’t feel comfortable coming out, there are various steps you can do at home as a family project. Each mat takes over 600 bags that need to be prepped before the weaving can begin. If someone is interested in crocheting the bags, please let them know. It is also a goal to support the Wounded Warriors; if you would like to buy a 6x4 mat for camping, hunting, sports events or the beach, the Mountain View Wesleyan ladies are selling them for $25.00 - call for availability and color options.

March is National Pet Poison Prevention Month
Submitted by HANNAH STEMBER Watching your dog or cat get sick from toxic items or poison is a nightmare for any pet owner. Symptoms of poisoning can be especially traumatic, ranging from seizures and vomiting to nosebleeds and diarrhea. "Nobody wants to see their pets suffer in such a painful way or, worst-case scenario, have a fatal incident. That's why it's important to make sure your home environment keeps dogs and cats as safe as possible," said Dr. Erin Katribe, veterinarian and medical director for Best Friends Ani-

Medications – prescribed and over-the-counter Nicotine products Pesticides for insects Pool or pond products "Pets can be very inquisitive, so it's always best to keep these items in a sealed cabinet area that your pets cannot have access to, whether that's in the home, in a shed, or in a garage," Katribe said. "If you use any of these products, always make sure to clean up any spillage immediately and thoroughly so ingestion can't happen that way, either." Food can be toxic to pets, so it's always important to remember to never give or allow your pets to have access to any of the following: Alcoholic beverages Substances containing caffeine, such as coffee Chocolate Fatty foods, especially drippings and grease from cooking Chicken and turkey bones Grapes and raisins Onions and garlic Macadamia nuts Salt and sugar Yeast or bread dough "Plants can also be toxic and poisonous to pets," Katribe said. "These plants include English ivy or holly, lilies, Chinaberry, iris, poinsettia, pokeweed and daphne. For cats, even contact with the pollen of some lilies can be severely toxic."
