A Winning Start Varsity Softball

The Hampton Varsity Girls Softball team

has gotten off to a fantastic start for the 2015

season. The varsity girls’ record is 7-2 and they

are 6-1 in the section as this article goes to print.

They have at least one win against each team in

their section.

Varsity coach Ron Fedell commented on the

team. “This is a fun group of girls to

coach. They've worked hard this year and they

are focused on our goal of making the

playoffs. We have a few section games left and

we hope to keep our momentum going.”

Scouts Earn Silver By Gail Scott

Lauren and Lindsey Turner earned

the Girl Scouts of America Silver

Award this winter while supporting a

wonderful cause. The sisters taught

special needs children to ice skate at the

North Park Skating rink from December

through March.

The girls chose this service project

because they love to ice skate and they

love kids (and helping them). The ser-

vice project required a minimum of 50

hours of service, but the girls actually

completed 60 hours. Lauren comment-


T he theme song –

“They’re creepy and

they’re kooky, mys-

terious and spooky, they’re

all together ooky, the Ad-

ams Family,” deftly de-

scribes the cast of Hampton

High School’s musical The

Addams Family. Stellar

performances by an excep-

tionally talented cast enter-

tained almost sold-out

crowds for two straight

weekends in April.

The musical show-

cased the quirky and dark

side of the Addams family,

such as the Alice Beinke’s

line “what’s wrong with

crazy – crazy is underrat-

ed.” Senior Erin Daly, who

played Alice, said, “I loved

the comical element of this

musical. I also really like

the story line. Everyone has

secrets that are exposed.

Playing Alice was a blast! I

love her dramatic transfor-

mation, and have found the

character so fun to play.

Deep down inside there is a

little bit of Alice in me.”

Swing Into Spring by Gail Scott

T he Hampton Middle School hosted a

“Swing into Spring” breakfast for

Hampton senior citizens on April 10th.

Eighth grade students at HMS have host-

ed this wonderful event for the past six years.

on different responsibilities such as cooks,

servers, hostesses, clean-up,

and other necessary jobs. Sev-

eral kids provided entertain-

ing the piano. HMS Principal

Dr. Stennett said, “This is an

one of the most important

groups of people in our com-

munity. It is a wonderful oppor-

tunity for the children to con-

nect with senior citizens.” After breakfast, the students and their guests

played bingo then went to the auditorium for some

entertainment. During that time, the 8th grade jazz

band played and some of the HMS Talent Show

“Play Ball!” A New Season Begins

by Gail Scott

T he 3rd annual Opening Day festivities of the Hampton base-

ball season was held on April 18th. The weather was beauti-

ful as the day started off with a parade for the players lead

by the Hampton Fire Department. The Pirate Parrot also put in an

appearance. There was a great turnout from the local community of

at least a few hundred people for the event.

There were several ball games scheduled throughout the day.

The baseball teams and softball teams ranging in age from 4 to 18.

The day was planned so that families can come to the ball park and

hang out as the new season begins and the cold winter days end. It’s

a good time to catch up with old friends and make new ones! There

was an auction offering awesome prizes along with tasty food from

Pasquale’s Pizza, Max and Erma’s, Chick-Fil-A, and the Club-

house. The Hampton teams also hosted the local competition of the

MLB Pitch Hit and Run competition. The results are as follows:

Chef’s Corner

A Superfood for Controlling Blood Sugar?

by John Rizzo

T ake it from a man responsible for nourishing over

1200 senior citizens on a daily basis; oatmeal is an

important staple in their diet. Putting aside the whole

“comfort food” and feeling of contentment, there are a lot of

good reasons that people of all ages can benefit from a daily

intake of oats.

I could spend a lot time talking about all the nutritional

benefits of consuming oats, but instead let me focus on oat-

meal and diabetes. It’s becoming common knowledge that

many carbohydrates are responsible for spiking blood sugar

levels to dangerous levels. For instance, white bread is al-

most immediately converted to sugar, while more fibrous

whole grain carbs release sugar into the blood stream at a

much slower pace. Not to be misleading; oatmeal is a carbo-

hydrate, but it is high in soluble fiber. It will digest slowly

and will not raise blood sugar levels quickly. Foods that are

high in soluble fiber leave us feeling fuller longer which is

important for people with diabetes. This will help reduce

snacking between meals and can also lead to weight loss

which could ultimately get them off insulin and other blood

sugar medications.

talked about how the early Italian immigrants were required

Combine all ingredients, with the exception of the ice, in a blender

to eat oatmeal as part of the assimilation process. They found it

belittling that they were being forced to eat this; for they only

knew of oats to be animal fodder and it wasn’t fit for human con-

sumption.

If you or your family just don’t like eating oatmeal, there are

other ways of sneaking it into your diet. It makes a great filler in

foods that call for breadcrumbs, such as meatballs and meatloaf.

And one of the easiest ways to consistently serve oats is in a fruit

smoothie. It can be added to almost any smoothie from a raw

state. But if you don’t like the slightly grainy texture that it may

leave; you can cook the oats first. If time permits let the raw oats

stand in your liquid (juice, yogurt, milk, etc.) for about 15

minutes; it will help soften them up.

Our Mother’s Day Breakfast Featuring:

Prime Rib & Eggs and Eggs Benedict


The team is anchored by two

experienced seniors, pitcher/first

base Megan Thornton and catcher

Rachel Pletz. This is a relatively young team with two juniors,

Katya Bittner and Samantha Clut-

ter, and four sophomores, Ashley

Sheets, Haley Dietz, Hannah

Dietz, and Amanda Zelnis.

Rounding out the starting lineup

is freshman Chloe Nelligan. Sen-

ior Megan Thornton commented

on the season so far, "It's been a

good year. I'm looking forward

to making the playoffs in my sen-ior year.” A number of freshmen

come off the bench in each game

to contribute to the team’s suc-

cess. They are Natalie Klaas,

Emily Morris, Julia Powers,

Maryn Mathews, and Gwyn Ko-

ladish.

The team gets contributions

from everyone in the line-up both

offensively and defensively, and it

seems like a different player is making big plays each

game. Junior Kat Bittner

said, "The team is doing very

well this year but we lost a

tough section game to

Mars. It was our on-

ly section loss so far and I

think we are in a good spot

to make the playoffs as long

as we keep playing hard.”

GKG Orthodontics now offers Accelerated Orthodontics! Treatment times can be reduced up to 50% using a

hands free appliance for just 20 minutes a day!

GKG orthodontics has always been dedicated to providing

our patients with the best and most current treatment options

available, and this continues with our practice now offering

AcceleDent Aura as a way to greatly reduce treatment times.

AcceleDent Aura is a first-of-its-kind medical device that

works along with conventional orthodontic treatment to accel-

erate tooth movement. It is used daily for a recommended 20

minutes, during which users can simultaneously carry out rou-

tine tasks. Its exclusive SoftPulse Technology, which generates

small vibrations (or micropulses), has been reported to make

the orthodontic experience not only up to 30-50% faster, but

also more comfortable. The technology and science behind

AcceleDent Aura has been used in the medical field for over 20

years and has been changing the orthodontic experience in pa-

tients around the world since 2009. More information on Ac-

celedent can be found at www.GKGOrtho.com.

Treatment times can be a major obstacle when deciding on

orthodontic treatment, especially for adults and older teens. For

those adults who would love to have a perfect smile and bite,

but just don’t want to commit to lengthy treatment, Acceledent

is a great option to reduce treatment times! In preparing for a

special event, such as weddings or graduation, Acceledent can

help to reach your target date with a perfect smile! Invisalign

patients in particular will have their treatment times cut in half,

as they can change their aligners once per week instead of once

every two weeks.

We at GKG Orthodontics are excited to add Acceledent to

our list of options for our patients. Please feel free to tell your

friends about Accelerated Orthodontics and take advantage of

our free consults to learn more about options available to you.

batteries from outside the

business. The actor was

caught on video surveil-

lance and the investigation

is ongoing.


6:52 p.m. HTP responded to

Sherwood Ave. for a theft

report. The caller reported

that someone stole an alu-

minum glider and a portion

of the fence that surrounds

the upper part of her above

ground pool. The caller

in color and the glider has a

green cushion on it. Investiga-

tion to continue.

Fight


7:02 p.m. HTP were dis-

patched to Wildwood High-

were at the fun center for a

birthday party and got into a

disagreement about a family

issue. The disagreement was

verbal and was never physical.

All parties involved went their

separate ways and were ad-

vised that they were not per-

mitted to return to Wildwood

Highlands again.

Stolen Property


2:55 p.m. HTP took a stolen

phone report. The victim stat-

ed that she bought a phone off

of Craigslist and when she

went to activate it at Verizon,

she was told that it was stolen.

The information was given to

Hampton Township's Detec-

tive division and the actors

who sold the phone were lo-

cated and charged according-

ly.

Disorderly Persons


7:04 p.m. HTP were dis-

patched to CVS at 4849 Route

8 for a disorderly male inside

the store giving management a

hard time. Two male actors

were attempting to fill pre-

scriptions that were not theirs.

Officers identified the males

and several citations were

issued. end

Warrior Challenge Fundraiser by Gail Scott

T he Hampton Middle School and the PTO hosted an

event called the Warrior Challenge last month. The

middle school students were treated to a carnival-like

atmosphere with games, snacks, and a DJ. The fundraising

event supported The Pittsburgh Project and the “It’s About

the Warrior” Foundation.

Every year the HMS Student Council, Helping Hands

Club, and the principals sit down to discuss charities to sup-

port. The “It’s About the Warrior” Foundation (http://

www.iatw.us/) supports post-9/11 veterans in the tri-state

area. One of the veterans that the foundation supported was

our guest speaker for the Hampton Heroes, Brandon

Rumbaugh. Brandon, 24, is a local veteran who lost his legs

while serving our country. He is a very positive person and is

incredibly motivational.

The HMS administration wanted to have an atmosphere where

the students could support the causes while having fun. The event

had a DJ doing Karaoke and games such as bowling, hula hooping,

limbo, corn hole, darts, golf putting, and more. Students were able

Mandarin Classes & Culture Club by Tina Harper

Hampton Township School District offers Mandarin I, II, and

III at the middle and high schools, with IV being added as an hon-

ors class next school year. They are all taught by Ms. Jun Gee.

Ms. Gee grew up in China and came to the U.S. to study at the

University of Pittsburgh. She has taught biology, chemistry, ESL

(English as a Second Language), and Mandarin. Ms. Gee re-

marked, “I appreciate that Dr. Hoover and the school board initiat-

ed and implemented the Mandarin program.”

Many students find Mandarin interesting, but think it would be

difficult to learn. Ms. Gee explains, “Mandarin is not dif-

ficult. It’s just different.” In addition to teaching Manda-

rin, Ms. Gee offers the after-school Chinese Language &

Culture Club. Students can participate beginning in 6th

grade. The Chinese Club has created origami (the art of

paper folding), learned Chinese games, made dumplings

and moon cakes, and more.

Ms. Gee will be traveling with the Mandarin II and III

students to China in June 2015. They will be visiting

three major cities, numerous notable sites, observe the

process for making silk, and visit a partner school to learn

about the Chinese educational system.

Ms. Gee enjoys teaching Mandarin and reiterates, “I

appreciate the superintendent and school board’s long-

term vision and making this 21st century investment.”

The thread of craziness continued in a

comically sweet rendition of “The Moon

and Me” when Uncle Fester, played by

Wilson Leibering, declares his love for the

moon. Leibering added, “The set and

technical aspects of the show were great

and a ton of fun to con-

struct, and the choreog-

raphy and acting were

all spot on. My favor-

ite part of this show is

the family we all be-

came. I think the real

magic in theatre isn't the

show that the audience sees, but rather the

whole process of a hundred people getting

together and putting on a killer perfor-

mance. We did an excellent job taking the

title 'Addams Family’ to heart.” Gomez

Addams, played by Alex Apostolides,

summed up the performance: “Bottom

line, it's just an entirely creative and dedi-

cated environment that every student is

submerged in. If anyone is in that place,

it's impossible not to do great things.”

Congratulations to the cast, crew, and

orchestra for an outstanding performance!

ed, "It was one of the most fun and rewarding experienc-

es I’ve ever had. I really enjoyed watching the kids learn

something new.“ Lauren and Lindsey have been mem-

bers of the North Park Ice Skating Team for four years.

The girls, with the help of their coaches and peers on the

skating team, taught their students a life-long skill doing

something they enjoy. It involved a lot of planning, lo-

cating the students with the help of the Pine Richland

Community Center, as well as referrals and instruction

on Saturday mornings.

The girls had a lot of fun ice skating with the chil-

dren. Lindsey said, “I was given such an amazing oppor-

tunity to help the kids try something new. The smiles on

their faces as they made it around the ice inspired

me." The students and their families loved the time spent

on the ice and the lifelong lessons they were given. All

of the feedback from the families was extremely positive.

At the end of the project, Lindsey and Lauren collected

donations and sent a contribution to Autism Speaks.

Lindsey and Lauren are part of Girl Scout troop 50039, led by

Barbro Kelley and Marsha Turner. The members of the troop, in addi-

tion to Lauren and Lindsey, are Maeve Kelley, Sarah Schreiber, Molly

Wojcik, Paige Bucha, Ana Dematteo, Allison Dietz, Emily Johnston,

Mya Wood, Katie Cyphers and Ava Retsch. Most of the girls have

been together since kindergarten and are now in middle school. The

whole troop has decided to stay together and continue in Girl Scouts,

as many of the members enter high school next year.

Help Wanted/Classified “Penn” Pal Awards at Aquinas Academy

Aquinas Academy, located in

Hampton Township, has awarded

its annual Penn Pal award to four

students. Named in honor of Wil-

liam Penn, founder of Pennsylvania,

the award recognizes the best cover

illustrators for the fourth grade’s

soon to be published book, P is for

Penn’s Woods. Students initially

researched the life of William Penn.

They then wrote and illustrated an

original alphabet book with entries

ranging from “A” (Admiral Penn,

father of William) to “Z” (Penn’s

zeal in creating what, he called, his

“Holy Experiment”).

Leslie Mitros, head of the inde-

pendent private Catholic school for

students in grades pre-Kindergarten

through 12, presented the awards.

Framed certificates were given to

Sarah Hall (first place), Julia

Meland (second place), John Paul

Henry (third prize), and Grace

Gasior (honorable mention). The

panel of judges included representa-

tives from the administration, facul-

ty, and alumni. Winning entries

were recognized for being both ar-

tistic and compatible with the story

of the founding of our state.

Kerry Crawford, fourth grade

history teacher, initiated the project.

“Students were surprised in re-

searching William Penn to uncover

a man whose Quaker beliefs led to

his imprisonment in England and

influenced his establishment of

Pennsylvania as a haven for

people of all faiths,” Craw-

ford said. The fourth grad-

ers, she added, were especial-

ly impressed by the fair treat-

ment offered by Penn to the

Native Americans and his

belief that education was for

everyone—including girls.

If Your Kid Has Braces, READ THIS!

by Gina Hussar

Imagine having your child's

braces removed, anticipating

their new, beautiful smile only

to see that a pattern of stains,

discoloration and the start of

decay have been left behind!

It happens to a lot of people,

leaving both the child and the

parents disappointed in the re-

sult and in the position of hav-

ing to schedule further dental

work.

You've spent thousands to

get them straight, but are they

getting clean? Hampton ortho-

dontist Dr. Joseph Stofko wants

to be sure!

Dr. Stofko, one of our town-

ship’s most popular orthodon-

tists, has invented a toothbrush

that is specifically designed for

kids (or adults) who have brac-

es.

The Easy Braces Brush was

created with the technology to

clean under your child's braces,

where typical toothbrushes

simply cannot reach.

The patented bristles angle

inward, allowing for a more

thorough, healthy cleaning.

Dr. Stofko explains, “The

Easy Braces Brush reaches the

gums and decalcification areas

first, with less conscious effort

by the patient. If you want to

make sure that you are protect-

ing their teeth and your invest-

ment, I recommend using this

brush as it’s made to go where

electric and sonic brushes can-

not."

Keeping the teeth and braces

clean is vital to the long term

success of orthodontic work and

improper hygiene can have dis-

astrous consequences.

While the braces brush is

available at local retailers such

as Shop-n-Save on Route 8, the

best way to grab one is at

www.easybracesbrush.com.

Stofko has a patent in the

works for a flosser, also specifi-

cally designed for braces.

to purchase refreshments courtesy of the PTO

such as pizza from

Pasquale’s, popcorn, can-

dy, and Bruster’s Ice

Cream. The students pur-

chased tickets to play the

games, where students

earned stars to redeem for

prizes. Prizes were sorted

to mirror the rank of the

Army such as private,

corporal, sergeant, and

general. The school

raised about $2,800. It

truly was a great way for

the kids to support an in-

strumental foundation for our post 9/11 veter-

ans. HMS Principal Dr Eric Stennett com-

mented,” I am really proud of the children at

Hampton Middle School.

They realize the sacrifice of

our service men and wom-

en, they are always willing

to support organizations

such as these. The "Its

About the Warrior" founda-

tion does wonderful work

for our veterans. It is really

no surprise to me the suc-

cess of this event because

of the community here at

Hampton and the wonderful

children in this school.”
