Winners all Around at Homecoming by Diane Prem

A Tribute to Police Sacrifice was O’Connors Eagle Scout Project

by Diane Prem

A small crowd gathered to witness the dedica-

tion ceremony held at the Hampton Township Po-

lice Building on October 10th to honor the efforts of

Hampton High School Senior and 10-year Boy

Scout, Daniel O’Connor for his Eagle Scout Award

Project. “Growing up in today’s society, I believe

the police don’t get the respect and thanks they

deserve. They risk their lives every day to keep us

safe, and I thought this would be a great way for

the community to give back and show our appreci-

O ctober 19th kicked-off a weekend of fun-

filled festivities that started with the Hamp-

ation to the police officers for all their

efforts and valor,” said an impas-

sioned O’Connor. “And I want to

thank my Troop 138 from Glenshaw

Bethlehem Lutheran for all their help

and support in making this project a

reality.”

His efforts culminated in the in-

stallation of a large sandstone rock

placed outside of the Police Station.

The rock is mounted with a bronze

plaque inscribed with the poem

“Tribute to Police Sacrifice” by an

unknown author. The poem details

the unique selfless courage and acts

required by the police officers in the

line of duty such as: putting on their

ballistic vests and guns to face the day

when everyone else is at home, warm

and awaiting their Thanksgiving or

Christmas dinner; paroling the area no

matter what type of weather; not just

striving to succeed but to survive;

when you tell your family “see you

tonight” as you leave for work, we tell

our family that we pray we will; and

an error by you means a demotion

when an error by us means a funeral.

Chief Dan Connolly who is set to

retire next month said, “When O’Con-

nor approached me, I thought wow--

that is going to be something! I’m

tickled and really honored by it. In all

my 41 years of service, no one has

ever done anything like this. I think it

will get people’s attention. It’s so

public and so lasting. My officers and

I certainly appreciate it, and it makes

us feel good!” Captain Michael Peco-

ra is slated to replace Chief Connolly

when he vacates the post.

“It’s not often young people out-

wardly express appreciation for the

police force. It was a very appropriate

enhancement to the property. I was

awestruck when I finally saw it and

the message. Thank you O’Connor

for a great job!” commended Hamp-

ton Township Council President Vic-

tor Son.

The project took three months to

complete, and O’Connor canvassed

approximately 100 local residents and

businesses for donations to cover the

cost of the sandstone and plaque. In

the future, O’Connor plans to attend

college to study music.

Hampton Resident wins Prestigious servePGH Award

by Autumn Edmiston

T he servePGH initiative was developed by Mayor

Luke Ravenstahl’s office to engage citizens to help

in addressing Pittsburgh’s greatest challenges and

recognize the impact of volunteers and community organi-

zations. The Citizen Service Award honors community

leaders who have contributed exceptional levels of service

and inspiration.

Doreen Tumminello, a BNY Mellon employee and

Hampton Twp. resident, received the Citizen Service

Award for her leadership role in fundraising efforts to ben-

efit the Alzheimer’s Association - Greater Pittsburgh area.

For the past five years, Doreen has been Captain of the

BNY Mellon Team for the Alzheimer’s Association Walk

and has led the team to be named “#1 Corporate Team” in

their fundraising efforts. Doreen explained, “Both of my

parents had Alzheimer's, so my three sisters and I know

how devastating this disease can be. I felt I wanted to

make a difference in the fight against Alzheimer’s.”

Tumminello doesn’t limit her volunteerism only to the

Alzheimer’s organization. She teaches at the Kid’s Club

for Allegheny Center Alliance Church, has worked with

Mother’s Voice - a program sponsored by Lydia’s Place, a

nonprofit agency that helps female offenders and their chil-

dren, and has been a Foster Parent and Team Leader for the

Animal Rescue League.

As a community leader, Doreen offers this advice to

encourage others to become involved and give back. “Pray

and listen to God's voice and He will direct you to start

giving yourself to others in positive ways.”

There’s an APP for That! by Autumn Edmiston

For Gene Cahill, Hampton High School alumni for the class

2007, that phrase has particular meaning. A research program-

mer by profession, Cahill now works at the Software Engineering

Institute at CMU in the field of advanced mobile systems.

While in college, Gene received a grant to research the An-

droid Development Platform from a local bank. Gene enjoyed

that project so much that during his senior year at John Carroll

University, he developed "Assignment Planner" to help track

assignments, due dates, homework, projects, courses, classes and

grades. He found the app so helpful that he decided to share it

with others.

Cahill explained, “I uploaded it to the market never expecting

it to grow. But, the app became so popular it made it to #13 in

its category. I continue to receive feedback and make en-

hancements to Assignment Planner. Ideas for apps that I can

apply for personal use are of particular interest to me.”

Gene plans to start graduate school in January and ex-

pects additional ideas will present themselves to develop apps

in helping him with productivity, organization and other edu-

cational focused needs. Who knows what apps will come

from Cahill’s imagination during grad school?

The harvest is all but complete in the New England states;

beginning in mid September and running through mid Novem-

ber. There are two methods of harvest –wet and dry. Walk

behind machines remove the berries from the vines and fill

burlap bags in a dry harvest. These are often removed from the

bogs in helicopters. From there they are graded based upon

color and their ability to bounce. The firm berries will bounce

and the soft will not. These are packaged and sold fresh.

During a wet harvest, the bogs are literally flooded which

cause the cranberries to float. “Egg-beaters”, as they are re-

ferred to in the industry, stir up the water in the bogs and cran-

berries drop from the vines. Booms are used to pull the berries

to one area in which they are lifted by a conveyor or pumped

into trucks for delivery. These cranberries are primarily used

for sauce, juice, and dried.

I find the dried cranberries can add a burst of flavor to a lot

of dishes. They especially compliment salads with color and

flavor.

Tis the Season… Or Always the Season for Cranberries

by John Rizzo

N ow that November is here and it’s beginning to feel like

Autumn; cranberry season is in full bloom. Cranberries

are synonymous with the holiday season, but thanks to

frozen and dried cranberries, this has become a multi-billion dollar

year round industry.

Cranberries grow on vines in what they call bogs -marshy beds

that are generally found near wetlands.

Linsly, WV Boys’ Varsity; and Hampton

Boys’ Junior Varsity. For the past 22

years, Mr. Christy has been the head

coach of the Hampton Girls’ Varsity.

Since 1974, Mr. Christy has taught

science and physical education / health,

with the last 25 years at Hampton Middle

School. He decided to retire as the soccer

coach, because he is nearing retirement in

his teaching career and is interested in

pursuing coaching at a different level;

namely college.

In 28 years of coaching girls’ varsity

soccer, Mr. Christy boasts 434 wins, 120

losses, and 38 ties. In 2009, he recorded

his 400th win, a Pennsylvania state record.

Other notable memories include WPIAL

championships at Fox Chapel in 1985 and

at Hampton in 1994 and 1995.

This year’s girls’ team had a regular

season record of 11-7-1. They advanced

to the playoffs, beating Fox Chapel in the

first round 2-0 and losing to Peters Twp.1-

0 in the second round. The team gave Mr.

Christy a season to remember.

The players show their respect and

admiration for Mr. Christy. Sophomore

goalie, Alyssa Hunkele admires his cool,

“Mr. Christy always knows what to do

and he never seems angry or upset. He

always seems calm."

Sophomore sweeper, Lexi Meglio

expressed her appreciation, “Mr. Christy

has changed and shaped the HGS program

to where it is today. I have grown up

hearing his name, and I have been truly

honored to have gotten the chance to be

coached by someone with his knowledge

of the game of soccer. He has touched

many people's lives throughout the years,

including myself, to make us all smarter

and better players. He will truly be

missed, but never forgotten.”

Mr. Christy reflects on his youth

coaching experience – “the tremendous

rapport and admiration I have for all the

women and men I’ve had the pleasure of

coaching during that time period. It’s

incredible to see what they have all been

up to since their playing days!” Mr.

Christy is appreciative of his assistant

coaches, especially Bill Paholich who has

been there since Mr. Christy became a

head coach.

Senior captain and midfielder,

Vanessa Ceravolo summed up her experi-

ence, “It has been a great pleasure being

coached by Mr. Christy, one of the best,

most dedicated, and well-respected coach-

es in WPIAL. His many years of experi-

ence and knowledge of the game is what

have made us better soccer players. Mr.

Christy not only taught us the game, he

also instilled the virtues of teamwork,

respect, and good sportsmanship. He has

touched many lives over the years and has

made a positive impact for girls’ soccer at

Hampton High School. We wish him the

best of luck in the next chapter of his

life. We love you Coach Christy!”

Members of the Soccer Team Sport their Feminine Side

Despite a downpour and

chilling temperatures, the

Hampton girl’s soccer

team did not disappoint

themselves or their fans.

On Saturday, October 20th,

during WPIAL first round

soccer playoffs, unseated

the Fox Chapel Foxes with

a 2-0 victory! Senior and

captain, Amanda Spencer

scored both goals and

Hampton’s strong defense

kept their opponents

scoreless. The win made

the fun of Hampton’s

homecoming dance, which

took place later that even-

ing, all the more exciting

ously as they can play!

travel. The vehicle was pulled over at the BP Station at Wild-

wood Road. The driver immediately exited his car and began

stumbling toward the police unit. He was escorted back to his

vehicle and advised he is not to exit the vehicle when stopped

by the police. The operator’s license was found to be under

suspension, DUI related and had been expired since March 31,

1979. After failing field sobriety tests, he was placed under

clock the vehicle at 70 MPH in a 40 MPH zone. A traffic stop

was initiated. The driver displayed signs of being impaired as

well as there being a strong odor of alcoholic beverage upon

his breath. The operator submitted to a PBT, which registered

positive for the presence of alcohol in his system. After failing

field sobriety tests, he was placed under arrest for DUI. Charg-

es pending.

Vehicle Crash - DUI Arrest

On Thursday, September 27th, Hampton Police were dis-

patched to the area of 3004 E. Hardies Road for a two-vehicle

crash at approximately 9:50 p.m. While in route, officers were

advised that one of the operators was attempting to leave the

scene. The reported vehicle was swerving and hitting signs and

trees. The vehicle struck a mailbox and came to rest. The male

operator exited and attempted to flee the scene on foot. Police

located the male in the 3100 block of East Hardies Road. He

was unable to maintain his balance and showed other signs of

being under the influence. The driver was placed under arrest

for suspicion of driving under the influence. He was also found

to be in possession of a small amount of marijuana and drug

paraphernalia. Charges to be filed.

President Halli Larkin and Vice President Brian Shields pre-

sented a dozen yellow roses to Steinmetz. Fellow 1977 class-

35th reunion on Saturday evening at Wildwood Country Club.

Another halftime highlight was the unveiling of the win-

the Hampton High School. The other top contenders for the

title from each school were: Middle School‘s "Sydney" Loe-

big; Central Elementary’s "Trixie" Bianco; Poff’s "Julie"

Bouch; and Wyland’s “Lucy” Obringer. A ceremony will be

held at Central Elementary to award Shocka and her family

with a special plaque and dog tag. Students at each of the

schools donated money to vote for their favorite dog. A total

of $1,631.80 was raised from the contest and was used to help

three local families in need.

Setting a new record, over 725 students attended the high-

ly anticipated Homecoming Dance on Saturday night at the

Hampton High School. Colorful mums decorated the en-

trance, and students needed a school ID to enter the cafeteria

that was decorated in the theme of “Under the Sea.” Girls clad

in elegant cocktail dresses and guys in suits with colorful shirts

and ties danced the evening away to music spun by a DJ.

Cookies were provided, and everyone had a great time.

A Great Tournament Season

The Hampton U15 Girls Fast Pitch Soft-

ball Tournament team had a rough start

in the Saxonburg Tournament in late

September. The girls could not manage

to win a single game in the seeding, but

with some tough coaching and determi-

nation to win, the team came from be-

hind to win first place in the Saxonburg

Tournament. Their competition this year

was Natrona Heights, Saxonburg, Penn

Township and the toughest win of all

Karn City. Thanks to coach, Steve

Stokes in helping with the win!

Dawgs through another undefeated regu-

lar season within their division. Their

offense and defense have scored a com-

bined 273 points this season, while only

allowing 38 points! For the Senior

Dawgs, this will be a bittersweet game as

the culmination of all of their hard work

and preparation will come to an end this

Saturday when they take on Mars Blue in

the UYFL Super Bowl. The boys are

gearing up and looking forward to a great

rematch against Mars Blue.

The HJFA offers an instructional foot-

ball program for boys, ages 6 to 12. The

organization provides the boys with an

opportunity to learn the fundamentals of

football while having a lot of fun, work-

ing hard and meeting new friends. HJFA

participates in a competitive league

called the United Youth Football League

(UYFL) along with other schools in our

area including Pine Richland, Mars, Shal-

er, Saxonburg and many others.

So come out this Saturday, say fare-

well to the Senior Dawg Football players

and Cheerleaders and join the HJFA

Cheerleaders, parents and fans as they

cheer on the Dawgs to a Super Bowl vic-

tory. The Super Bowl game will be held

this Saturday, November 3rd at 2:00 at the

Teach Your Children Well by Jan McCune,

Owner of Doggone Happy Pet Service

A s the lyrics say, “teach your children well”, that applies

to teaching them about dogs too, even if you don’t own

a dog. Recently I was walking two dogs when a school

bus stopped and dropped off young children, probably between

the ages of six and eight. As often happens, the kids were all

over the street and most unfortunately unsupervised. The kids

ran past us and were just being kids. I kept the dogs on a short

leash and they were managing the chaos well. Then all of a sud-

den, one of the kids

turned around, bent down

towards the dogs’ faces

and screamed at the dogs.

Fortunately, these two

dogs’ reaction was to turn

and look towards me for

instruction on what to do

and how to handle this.

Thank goodness they did.

In another situation, a

fearful dog could have

snapped at the little boy

and possibly made con-

tact. And, I’m sure the parent of the little boy would have

blamed the dog had he made contact. My reason for using this

as a subject is to try and remind parents to teach their children

that dogs have teeth and they will use them to protect themselves

at any time. Even when an adult is walking them on leash out-

doors. Please instruct your children that if someone is walking a

dog, to leave room around the dog in case the dog doesn’t like

children or is nervous. Remind them as I said, dogs have teeth

and will use them if your child frightens them.

Hampton Junior Selected as One Young World Reporter

by Autumn Edmiston

Hampton Junior, Madeline (Maddie) Adamczyk, was select-

ed as one of 36 reporters in the region, for One Young World, a

global youth leadership summit held in Pittsburgh in October.

“Our goal is to provide an intensive youth journalism project

that engages high school students in globally focused, fact-based

reporting and well-reasoned opinion pieces,” said Jennifer

Snyder-Duch, associate professor of communication at Carlow

University and co-founder of the YMAP coalition. “The One

Young World summit presents a unique opportunity to immerse

local students in global issues and help them hone their journal-

ism skills.”

One Young World, which

has the largest representation of

countries other than the Olympics

and United Nations, attracted

1,500 delegates from 186 countries

to discuss the most pressing global

issues, tackled daily by our

world’s leaders. One Young

World was launched in London in

2010.

YMAP partnered with the

World Affairs Council and One

Young World to offer a “Media

Boot Camp” that equipped high

school students from 26 school

districts in Southwestern Pennsyl-

vania to cover the summit as youth

reporters. During the two-day boot

camp in October, supported by

The Heinz Endowments and a

Spark Award from The Sprout Fund, students learned skills relat-

ed to storytelling and story development, use of various media –

including video, audio, photography, blogs, writing and info-

graphics – and publishing.

“The Media Boot Camp taught me how to write a story with

a deadline. During camp we worked independently and in

groups. I chose education and health as my topics. Attending

the breakout sessions and

home dinner, enabled me to

interact with future leaders

who addressed these topics,”

stated Adamczyk.

Maddie enjoyed

hearing former president

Bill Clinton speak, meeting

people from other cultures

and was honored to repre-

sent Hampton High School

at the event. She plans to

utilize her writing skills in

her career choice. Her ad-

vice to others, “Keep writ-

ing, it pays off. This event

broadened my skills and I

believe it will provide op-

portunities for the future.”

T oo many of us feel the time of admirable

and respectable politics has passed. We can

remember when the gloves were removed

after a campaign and our elected officials would

work for the betterment of their respective communi-

ties for the common good. You could have a conver-

sation with a friend of different ideology and agree to

find common ground.

David Tusick is a candidate that believes in that

ideal and is fighting to bring it back to our common-

wealth. His roots run deep as a 3rd generation member

of the 30th district and a graduate of Fox Chapel Area

High School. He is honored to have the opportunity

to be elected to represent the 30th District in Harris-

burg.

In David's professional career, he has founded

and managed several businesses while earning his

degrees in Economics and Marketing from Robert

Morris University. Currently, he is co-founder and a

partner of Optimal, an advertising agency. Addition-

ally, he sits on the board of a non-profit focused on

education.

Endorsed by the PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE

as the 30th District’s Candidate of Choice, it states

David T. Tusick has the potential to go onto great

things.” David Tusick is asking for your vote this

November. Tusick's campaign platform consists of 5

main points:

A Voice for Small Businesses

Fighting for People with Disabilities

Restoring Funds to Public Education

Supporting our Aging Population

Reforming Property Tax

David Tusick is 30th District Endorsed Candidate by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

It's time we put some new faces in office. Tusick knows

the issues affecting our community and will focus on

what's right for us, not a specific party. This year, at the

bottom of the ticket, you will have your easiest choice.

Vote Tusick.
