“Life Is Like a Box of Chocolates”

by Tina Harper

On July 31st, the Hampton High School Marching Band opened its season with its annu-al band camp. Mr. Chad Himmler, HHS Band Director, and his staff began the arduous task of teaching 190 band, dance team, and color guard members to work in unison to create an enter-taining performance. Junior bass and tenor/quints section leader, Reid Burger, is optimistic, saying, “I’m feeling really good about the upcoming season. The drumline has a really positive attitude and really


Hampton Library Thanks Lemonade Girls: left to right: Emily Korpa, Camryn Ferderbar, & Kassidy Thompson who raised $112.00 for the library!

L ocal students Emily Korpa (1st grade), Camryn Ferderbar

(7th grade), and Kassidy Thompson (5th grade) re-cently decided to have a lemonade stand to raise money for new books for the Hampton Library. Emily came up with the idea and her friends wanted to help. The girls used a recipe from the Pioneer Woman's cook-book and made lemonade the old-fashioned way. They experimented with different recipes to create the perfect concoction. The girls squeezed 48 lemons, sliced strawberries, and made simple syrup. They decorated and hung signs to advertise the lemonade stand. Camryn said, "My favorite part was squeezing the lemons." The girls even enlisted their brothers help to flag down cars. The stand was located on the corner of Pembroke Court and Talley Cavey Road. Emily said, “I really enjoyed pouring the lemon-ade and serving the cus-tomers. It made me happy." The stand was on Friday,

Hormone Imbalance and Weight Gain

Everyday people come into our shop saying they want to lose weight. They claim to have “tried everything.” They’ve cleaned up their diet and cut-out the processed foods. They started a new exercise program and are moving their bodies regularly. Perhaps they’ve even added in some supplements to support their health. However, despite their best efforts, they are still not able to drop stubborn pounds. These folks are not alone, and perhaps you’re one of them. Weight-loss resistance is an epidemic today, and the driver of this frus-trating state is hormone imbalance. It’s NOT your fault that you can’t seem to drop extra weight. When your hormone system is out of whack, your cells can’t communicate properly and hang on to toxic fat stores. What’s more, taking supplemental hormones to balance your system is not a lasting solution to help you feel better and lose weight permanently. But what is causing such widespread hor-mone havoc leading to weight-loss resistance? The answer may surprise you, and we’ll bet it’s one that you haven’t heard before. Come visit Revelation Health and we will educate you on the root cause of hormone imbalance, and what you can start doing immediately to jumpstart weight-loss and increase your overall health. At Revelation Health, Alison Park’s Best Kept Secret, we battle misinformation. We

help people cut through the confusion and opti-mize their nutrition. More energy, reversal of symptoms, weight lost and an enhanced sense of well-being are the words we hear from cus-tomers and clients. We remain a best kept se-cret as we serve health practitioners around the nation, but since you’re a neighbor, and the secret is out, stop in! We can’t wait to share this life changing information with you.

Independence Day Celebration by Gail Scott

Hampton held its annual Independence Day Community Cel-ebration on July 3rd, and this year's event was bigger than ever. The Hampton pool had a free swim in the afternoon, which proved popular because of the abundant sunshine and warm tem-peratures. In the late afternoon and evening, the celebration fea-tured food booths, carnival style games, and inflatable play areas for the kids. The new community playground was a big hit and it was packed with happy children all day long. Families set up tents, picnics and blankets all around the parking lot area and soccer field and enjoyed the day with friends and neighbors. Unfortunately, a severe rain storm rolled though around 5 p.m., breaking many tents and drenching party goers. Happily, everyone quickly recovered and set up their picnics again. The Hampton Band performed, the scouts raised the Amer-ican flag and Hampton librarian, Suzanna Krispli, sang the Na-tional Anthem. Local band Austin Drive performed in the even-ing and had the crowd rocking and dancing. The night was capped off by a fabulous fireworks display. Another special feature of this year's celebration was the dis-play of the American Veterans Traveling Tribute – the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall. Hampton Township was proud to have the opportunity to host the traveling memorial from June 29th to July 4th. The wall was open day and night and huge numbers of people came to Hampton to pay tribute to our lost Vietnam veter-ans. The Hampton Township council’s focus for this year's cele-bration was Honor, Respect, Remember. The council thanked Hampton residents for their amazing help volunteering at the trav-eling memorial and assembling and disassembling the wall.

lided with the second vehicle. The second vehicle had been traveling on West Hardies Road at the time of the crash. One vehicle was towed from the scene, and one involved party com-plained of pain.

On July 10, 2017 at 4:46 p.m., Hampton Township officers responded to the intersection of East Hardies Road and Turner Road for a two-vehicle accident. Two vehicle occupants were transported by private vehicle to the hospital for evaluation. Both involved vehicles had to be towed from the scene. The accident occurred when the operator of one vehicle failed to stop at a stop sign and their vehicle collided with the other car.

Motorcycle Accident

On June 20, 2017 at 11:33 p.m., Hampton Township offic-ers responded to Wickline Road for a motorcycle versus deer accident. Upon arrival, the operator stated that a deer ran out in front of their motorcycle, and they were unable to avoid collid-ing with the deer. The operator sustained a leg injury and was transported to the hospital by ambulance for further treatment.

Attempted Fraud

On June 16, 2017 at 12:32 p.m., a Hampton Township of-ficer responded to a local business on Route 8 for a report of attempted fraud. The responding officer spoke to the reporting party, an employee at the business, who was concerned that a customer was falling victim to a common phone scam. The cus-tomer advised the responding officer that they received a phone call from an individual claiming to be with Duquesne Light Co. They reported that the individual told them that they owed an outstanding bill, and that they would come over immediately and shut off the power at the reporting party’s office unless the bill was paid off. The customer stated that the male advised them to go and buy $1,500.00 worth of CashPak gift cards, and to call him back after getting the gift cards so that they could remedy the unpaid balance. The cashier at the business inter-cepted the customer and advised them that many phone scams result in gift card purchases, and proceeded to call 911 for the suspicious incident. The customer was advised that the phone call they received was a common scam, and that actual business entities would not require an unpaid balance of a service in the form of gift cards.

On June 26, 2017 at 10:21 a.m., Hampton Township police were requested to respond to a business on Route 8 to take a report regarding attempted fraud. Upon arrival, the responding officer spoke to the complainant, who stated that they received a phone call from a girl who was crying and saying that she had been kidnapped. A male voice then got on the line saying that he would kill the girl, and asked how much money the com-plainant had. The reporting party stated that they had ten dol-lars, and the male hung up the phone. The reporting party had checked to verify that all of their family members were safe and was advised that this is a common phone scam.

Water Main Break

put a lot of effort in.” This year’s theme is Forrest Gump, based on the 1994 mov-ie of the same name. The show will feature several famous clas-sic rock tunes. Special effects include a 10’ feather prop, remi-niscent of the start and end of the movie, and eleven park bench-es symbolizing the scenes where Forrest tells his life’s story. The benches will move throughout the show to create focal points and "stages" for the students to perform in and around. Sarah Rock, junior flute player, is excited about the new season and remarked, “I believe the park benches will be a crowd favorite.” Mr. Himmler summed up the anticipation by saying, “I'm very excited for this new year and the opportunity to work with these band students who are tremendous young adults who work very hard.” See the band perform each Friday night during halftime of the football games. In addition, plan to attend these other special Band performances:

Jen's Brigade Runs Again By Gail Scott

T he Pineapple Classic, an exciting and family-friendly 5K obstacle course and race, is set to take place on Saturday, September 16th at Hartwood Acres – and

Jen's Brigade will once again be a big part of it. Gary Bergman founded Jen's Brigade after his wife Jen-nifer passed away from lymphoma 5 ½ years ago. Jennifer loved Hartwood Acres, so the race is a great way for her fami-

ly and friends to keep her memory alive. Jen and Gary's four daughters participate in the race each year. Jen's Brigade grows each year, from its initial two teams to last year’s 13. This

year, the family is hoping for over 100 people to sign up for the Classic as part of the Brigade. Participants can run individually or in teams up to 4. Every team must carry a pineapple through the course and all the obstacles. There are 18-20 obstacles including a large slip and slide, a spider web, 2 fire jumping pits, a tunnel crawl, a potato sack race, a dunk tank, and more. The obstacles are easy and kids can participate more easily than most adults! Go to Pineapple5kclassic.org for more information and to register. Anyone interested in joining Jen's Brigade can contact Gary at 412-720-6411, and he will get you a Jen's Brigade t-shirt. You will also get a Pineapple classic t-shirt in your official race packet when you register on-line. There is a luau after the race a small obstacle course with inflatables for the kids.
