Boy Scout Soars to New Heights

Christian Harper, a member of

Boy Scout Troop 17, recently got the

chance of a lifetime - to fly an air-

plane.

Last June, Christian, fellow

scouts of Troop 17, and other area

scouts spent the day at Butler County

Airport to learn about flight, how

planes work, and other aspects of air

travel in order to earn the Aviation

Merit Badge. As part of the require-

ments, the participants made foam

plate airplanes and flew them inside a

hangar. Christian’s plane flew farther

than any others, winning him a certif-

icate for one hour of in-flight instruc-

tion.

In July, Christian, a seventh

grader at Hampton Middle School,

and his dad redeemed the prize at

Butler County Airport with Corey

Manton, a certified flight instruc-

tor at AirQuest Aviation. Manton

taught Christian about pre-flight

inspection, cockpit controls, and

post-flight inspection. Christian

got to sit in the pilot’s seat while

the instructor was the co-pilot.

After take-off, the instructor let

Christian fly for about 20

minutes. Because the dashboard

was so high, Christian couldn’t

see over it. He had to steer using

the instruments.

Christian was surprised when

Mr. Manton told him to fly the plane.

He thought the prize was just going to

be talking about flying, not actually

doing it. Once on solid ground again,

Christian remarked, “It really was the

chance of a lifetime - an amazing

experience!”

Christian Harper next to the Piper

Warrior low-wing plane that he flew

Change the Moment IN a Moment

reality? Maybe on the surface, life looks great but

inside, you are overwhelmed, lost, maybe angry.

I am here to tell you that you have the power

right now to never feel that loss of control again.

When you find yourself thinking “nothing is ever

thing needs to—your MIND!

Isn’t it time to LOVE your LIFE?

You know that something needs to shift in

your life but you have a family and a job and a

million other things going on. The planner is

packed and is it really possible to pencil in en-

lightenment? You bet it is. True enlightenment is

a life-long journey but I promise you that there

are tools you can learn to instantly shift your

mind from stressed to blessed; tools that you can

use to remain in peace and unlock your power no

matter what you are facing. It works! And more

cle. The car was parked in his driveway all night. The ve-

hicle would not start and was towed to a mechanic to be

looked at. The resident was told that something was placed

into the gas tank causing internal damage. No other infor-

mation is available at this time.

Fire

On Sunday, June 16th Hampton Police were dispatched

to a residence on Wildwood Road Extension for a report of

a gas grill on fire. Prior to arrival, County Dispatch advised

the fire had been extinguished, but the caller wanted the

units to continue in to verify. Upon arrival, officers were

met with the homeowner who stated her gas grill on the

back porch was fully engulfed prior to the police arriv-

ing. The resident stated her daughter was able to put out the

flames with a fire extinguisher. Hampton Fire units verified

the fire had been put out and moved the grill from the deck

onto the driveway for precautionary purposes.

Theft

On Sunday, June 16th a resident from Tall Timber

Drive reported that sometime that afternoon his two garbage

cans were stolen along with his recycling container. No

suspects at this time.

Property Damage

On Saturday, June 15th a resident from Hampton Oaks

Drive reported that someone damaged his front yard over-

night with a vehicle. It appeared as if someone drove up to

the house and then tried to back down the driveway. There

was a set of tire marks in the yard to the pole light, which

had been knocked down. The driver hit two bushes, then

crossed to the other side and hit another bush. Debris from a

car was next to the pole. There was also debris on Middle

Road at the entrance to the plan.

On Tuesday, June 18th a resident from Oakhurst Ave-

nue called the station to report that this morning around

1:00 a.m., someone turfed his lawn and left. No description

of the vehicle. He said someone also took his landscaping

rocks from the roadside and placed them at his front door.

He did look outside and saw one person walking down the

street. Residents are advised to call 9-1-1 immediately if

they see or hear anything suspicious.

University of Pennsylvania. The Class of 2014’s top three dozen male

and female students earned their invitation by overachieving in aca-

demics and athletics. They received an early education in leadership

training that will stay with them into their future.

The week involved leadership training and development program-

ming with instruction from Wharton professors and executives from

the NFL Sports Business Initiative. Guest speakers included James

Harris of the Philadelphia Eagles and Spencer Tillman of CBS Sports.

The students participated in coursework and breakout sessions involv-

ing motivation, career development, negotiations, and much more. To

close the program, the NFL and Wharton brought in Terrie Williams,

who has been overseeing PR for the some of the top entertainers in

NYC for over 2 decades who spoke with the students about the value

of networking.

Selection for the program

was based upon academic tran-

scripts, athletic experience, lead-

ership activities, recommenda-

tions, and personal essays. When

asked about his experience in the

program, Anthony said “I was

honored to have been chosen for

the program and feel that it al-

lowed me to learn more about

business and college athletics that

can be applied in my future be-

yond school.” Anthony is an hon-

or roll student who plays football

at Hampton High School. He will

graduate in the spring of 2014

and plans to study business in

college.

Grapes for Snacks? by John Rizzo

I t’s not easy to find fault in eating fruit, but to a diabetic not

all fruits are created equal. The glycemic index is one way

to determine what fruits are better tolerated for a diabetic

diet. It signifies how quickly blood sugar may rise after eating

specific carbohydrates. And the glycemic load correlates the

amount of carbs in a particular food and its glycemic index. For

example, watermelon has a high glycemic index and can ad-

versely affect a person who has difficulty with blood sugar bal-

ance. But grapes are considered to have a medium glycemic

index and a low glycemic load. Grapes contain a lot of water

and fiber which release the sugars into the blood stream at a

slower pace.

Resveratrol, a polyphenol found in grapes, has long been

suggested to have antioxidant properties which protect the body

against heart disease. Red wine comes to mind when discussing

the heart healthy properties of resveratrol which is found in the

skin of red grapes. There is now focus on its benefit in prevent-

ing insulin resistance which can be a precursor to diabetes. Stud-

ies have shown that mice that have consumed large quantities of

resveratrol have been able to live on high-calorie diets without

obesity-related health problems. These same studies also corre-

late grape intake to better blood sugar balance, better insulin reg-

ulation, and increased insulin sensitivity.

Watermelon Waldorf Salad Yield: 6 Cups

Combine the watermelon, celery and grapes and mix well.

Gently fold in the vanilla yogurt and mix until the fruit is coated

evenly.

Place in a serving bowl and chill thoroughly. Just before

serving, sprinkle the top with toasted almonds.

Tournament Winners!

Head Coach and Manager, Steve

Thornton formed a group of 15U girls

and took them to the Deer Lakes Tourna-

ment at the end of July. They managed

to come out big winners! This newly

comprised team of Hampton girls beat

Canon-Mac in the semi-finals 14-4. They

went on to play Deer Lakes for the cham-

pionship and brought home a big win of

12-2!

Coach Thornton was very pleased

with the positive attitude from the entire

team this year and will truly miss coach-

ing the girls that move up to the u18

league next year. Megan Thornton,

Katya Bittner, Ashley Stokes, Maddie

Nelligan, and Abbie Morris will all move

struggle, overcome defeat and continue to work together

as a team. The team is made up of Ethan Apaliski, Shane

Bischke, Justin Bigatel, Logan Breitenbach, Reece Carter,

Dawson Dietz, Brock Mattiuz, Colin Murray, Johnny Riz-

zo, Max Smith, and Ethan Varley. Coach Dietz is joined

once again by assistant coaches, Blaise Smith, Jeff

Mattiuz and Scott Bischke.

The boys started off their season with a hard fought

battle at North Shaler right after the 4th of July, followed

by a tournament hosted by our neighbors to the north,

Pine-Richland. The boys then excitedly hosted their own

“Wood Bat” tournament the weekend of July 18th, which

included a Home Run Derby and Speed Pitching contest.

Although they didn’t make it to the finals, the boys cer-

tainly enjoyed tooling around and watching the playing

field leveled off by a simple change in bats. Max Smith

“brought the heat” and won the Speed Pitching contest

with an impressive 61 mph pitch! The boys went on to

finish the season with a look to the future by trying out

their skills at the Bronco level by participating in the

HAA 11U tournament.

For some though, the highlight of the season might

have been their trip to PNC Park. The entire team had an

opportunity to watch batting practice from inside the Pi-

rate dugout. If that wasn’t cool enough, they also got to

meet Pirates’ center fielder Andrew McCutchen, catcher

Michael McKenry and pitcher Mark Melancon. The boys

and their families then stayed to watch the Pirates vs. the

Oakland Athletics.

New Playgrounds at Park by Gail Scott

T he Hampton Community Association held their first golf

outing in June to raise money for the new playground

planned for the Hampton Community Park. The Inaugural

Golf Outing took place on June 21st at the Pittsburgh North Golf

Club. The weather was beautiful and the golfers had a wonderful

time participating in the event. Sixty-four golfers played in the 18-

hole scramble and enjoyed the food and prizes. The event raised

approximately $5,000 toward the playground. The HCA’s goal is

$100,000. We have currently raised $15,000.

The HCA is currently in the process of raising funds to help

redesign and replace the current playground equipment in the com-

munity park. It has been many years since the project has been done

and we are in a great need of new playground equipment. The HCA

is hoping that the playground theme will be an all-inclusive multi-

generational area. Without our community supporting this project it

cannot be done.

Clear plastic “Playground” banks are being passed out for free

to the community. The idea is that you take home a “Playground”

bank and fill it up with change. When your jar is full, you can take

it to the Hampton Community Center and pour your money in a

large bank that marks how much money we have currently raised.

You can take your jar home and start filling it again. Plastic jars are

available for free at the Community Center and at the Hampton

Pool. Please stop in today to one of these locations and pick up a

bank. Help raise money for the new playground equipment project.

We will be looking for members of the community who are able to

help in the construction of these playground areas when the time

comes to have the playground assembled. A small playground addi-

tion will be made next to Drake Pavilion this September. Be sure to

stop by this fall and see it!

Hampton 9U Tournament Team

by Gail Scott

The Hampton Bomb Squad traveled to Aberdeen, Maryland in July to play in the Cal Ripken Jr. Tournament. The Bomb Squad is a

tournament baseball team made up of 9 year old boys from Hampton. The team played 2 games on Saturday July 27th and won both

games with a score of 16 to 2 over the Lake Shore Gray Sox and 6 to 2 over the Bethpage Eagles. They played in the quarter-finals on

Sunday July 28th and beat the Marlboro Mustangs by a score of 10 to 9 with a walk-off win in extra innings. The Bomb Squad lost a

hard fought battle on Sunday afternoon in the semi-finals by a score of 6 to 2 against the Spookynook baseball team. The Bomb Squad

finished 3rd overall out of 16 teams ending a successful tournament season.

Robotics Team Places Fourth, But Wins in Sportsmanship

T he Hampton High School Ro-

botics Team displayed the true

meaning of sportsmanship dur-

ing a recent Botball Competition, held

April 8-12 in Norman, Oklahoma.

During an elimination round with

a competitor from the Greater D.C.

Region, the team donated their only

time out to their competitors, who

were struggling with a technical issue

with their robot. The competing team

already had used their time out and

was unable to fix the issue, so Hamp-

ton’s Robotics Team voluntarily

agreed to let the competitors use their

time out as well. With the additional

time, the other team was able to fix the

issue and the competi-

tion resumed. Howev-

er, Hampton’s team

later experienced a

minor issue with its

own robot, but was

unable to take time out

to fix it because they

had forfeited their

allotted time out to the

other team. The issue

with their robot caused

the team to lose in that

round.

According to the

team’s faculty advisor,

Mr. Vincent Kuzniew-

ski, their generosity

may have cost them a

higher ranking in the overall tournament.

“The kids don’t regret it, because if they

wouldn’t have done it, it wouldn’t have been

From Left to Right: Brandon Duderstadt, Ian Waldschmidt,

and Charlie Bares

a fair competition with the other team’s

robot not working properly. The kids said

they wanted it to be a more fair game.

We went down, but we went

down with glory.”

Their generosity did not go

unnoticed. The team won the

Spirit of Botball award, which is

given to the team that displays

the best sportsmanship during the

competition.

In addition to the Spirit of

Botball award, the team also

placed third in the Double Elimi-

nation Round, fourth in the Seed-

ing Round and fourth overall.

The Importance of Oral Health in Pets

by Dr. David Sherer

The condition of the mouth is

very important to overall health and can

provide clues about other diseases in the

body. An unhealthy mouth can seriously

affect overall wellbeing. Without proper

hygiene, bacteria can cause severe oral

infections, bad breath, lead to tooth loss,

and affect the liver, kidneys and heart

(among other things). Maintaining your

pet’s oral health care is an important part

of keeping them healthy.

The most effective thing that you

can do to prevent dental problems is to

brush your pet’s teeth. Brushing teeth

daily to every other day is the most effec-

tive way to prevent buildup of bacteria as

well as lessen the need for dental clean-

ings. Here are a few tips to help with

brushing your pet’s teeth at home:

-When brushing teeth go slow in the

beginning to let your pet get accustomed

to the process. Let them lick the tooth

paste off the brush (offer as a treat) then

slowly build up with short increases in

the amount of brushing. Do only as much

as your pet will tolerate and slowly build that up.

-You only need to brush the outside of your pet’s teeth

(surfaces facing the cheeks).

-Brush gently in a circular pattern around the teeth and base of

the gums- about a minute of brushing total should be good.

-Brushing should be done with a toddler soft bristled tooth

brush, a finger brush, a wash cloth or gauze square.

-Veterinary toothpaste should be used (we recommend CET

enzymatic toothpaste). Never use human toothpaste because the

fluoride is toxic to pets.

A Heartfelt Thank You

Hi Hampton community, I am Connor Michalek’s mom, Brittany.

First I just want to start by saying a huge thank you for everything, be-

tween all of the prayers, positive thoughts, donations, coming together for

support and showing your love for Connor.

So as a lot of you know Connor’s cancer showed through his MRI in

April that it had grown again. It started slowly, he started an experimental

chemo and then he had another MRI 6 weeks after the start of that chemo.

Last week after the MRI and meeting with his oncologist we learned that

the new chemo had not worked at all...his cancer has grown, and spread

through new spots (including his brain again, as it has just been in his

spine since 2011). Obviously the news is devastating and extremely shock-

ing....Connor seems so well lately, better then ever actually, I (we) as-

sumed the new chemo had to be working really well. There was a lot of

upsetting talk at the appointment, things we haven't been told before...no

good news... by any means.

Connor will be starting a different chemo within the next week or two.

At best we are hoping that it will give us some more time and provide

good quality of life for as long as possible. We are just continuing to pray,

keep faith and hold out for the miracle that he so very much deserves.

We have so many wonderful things planned for Connor. Great dis-

tractions and such enjoyment for him! Between camping (glamping real-

ly), Myrtle Beach (his favorite beach) and Disney. We really have all of

you to thank for it. We would never be able to do (afford to do and pro-

vide) all of these things with him. It brings tears to my eyes thinking

about it and we’ll forever be grateful and hold you all so close in our

hearts!

Connor has touched more lives and been more of an inspiration in his

short 7 years than I could've thought humanly possible. He's my rock, my

superhero, my charming, tan handsome little boy...my everything. He

gives me all the strength, hope and faith possible and I will never stop be-

lieving in him, and thank you all for never stopping either!

Brittany Caligiuri, Connor’s mom

O n September 7th, Family

House will hold its Annual

Polo match at Hartwood

Acres, and celebrate the charity’s 30th

anniversary. Family House is one of

the nation’s largest hospital-affiliated

hospitality houses. Since its inception

in 1983, Family House has provided

affordable and comfortable accommo-

dations for patients and their families

who are awaiting medical treatment at

one of Pittsburgh’s hospitals. To date,

more than 150,000 families from every

state in the nation and from all points

around the globe have stayed at Family

House.

The polo festivities begin at 11 am

with tailgating, a silent auction and

children’s activities. At noon the How-

ard Hanna Real Estate Services Vir-

ginia International Polo Club and their

competitor, the #1 Cochran Potomac

Polo Club, warm up and demonstrate

polo shots for those new to the sport.

The opening ceremonies start at 1 pm

followed by the match at 1:30 pm. At

half-time, guests will be invited to

come onto the field and stomp the div-

ots to the playing of “Pretty Woman.”

At the conclusion of the match, the

Family House Cup, Best Playing Pony

and the Most Valuable Player awards

are handed out at the closing ceremo-

nies.

The day-long fun kicks off with

the on-field vintage car display and

activities in the Children’s Entertain-

ment Tent such as face painting and

finger castings. Specta-

tors can look forward to

the new Sip, Savor &

Shop tent where they can

sample food and drinks

while browsing boutique

shopping booths.

Family House invites

We prefer to recycle. Do you own a barn, garden center, garage or machine

shop? Do you compost or own a pet?

We currently have 5 dump truck loads of clean (and no

walnut) sawdust and are continually making more.

importantly, peace is contagious. As we each experience

the internal shift, we can begin to raise the vibrations

around us and be catalysts for lasting external change.

We can begin to change our collective consciousness and

as a result, make a positive impact on the world. It begins

with you.

Are you ready to discover the secrets of your own power?

If you want to feel at peace, in your home, with your

children, with your finances, in your job, in your world,

you are in the right place. If you want to take every heavy

feeling you are carrying, toss it out, and keep only love,

joy and serenity, you are in the right place. I want you to

wake up every day deeply fulfilled, in love with your life

and equipped with the tools to keep it that way. Let’s do

this!
