Hampton Heroes by Deb Brady
Willy Wonka, Jr. by Brett Burkhart
As the crowd filed in, the commotion
began to come to a halt. The stage was
set; the auditorium was packed. Loud as
a crowd at a Steelers game, the parents,
family, and friends of the cast grew very
excited. The time had come, and Willy
Wonka was a go!
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Fac-
tory, originally filmed in Munich in
1971, has become a very popular play/
film amongst the American entertain-
ment over the past 40+ years. It is one of
the most well renowned shows in today’s

E ach year, the Hampton School
District invites residents to nomi-
nate military veterans connected to
the township for the Hampton Heroes
program. On November 14th, fifth graders
from Central, Poff, and Wyland gathered
at Hampton Middle School to host this
year’s ceremony. They honored the induc-
tees (and more than 40 other veterans in
the audience) through songs by the fifth
grade band, strings, and chorus ensem-
bles. Each fifth grade homeroom had a
representative give a speech on the topic
of heroism.
In addition to the stirring music and
words by the students, retired Marine
Colonel Ian Ferguson spoke to the gath-
ered crowd about the importance of learn-
ing the stories behind our veterans’ ser-
vice to our country, and encouraged the
young people in the audience to find out
more about them.
Wyland principal Dr. Laurie Tocci
said, “Hampton Heroes is one of the most
important Hampton traditions. This annual
event helps all of our students connect to

How To Avoid - And Reverse - Holiday Weight Gain
Are holiday pounds already creeping up on you? Even if you have iron-clad will power, the holi-
day season can be challenging for all of us. Fear not! Here at Revelation Health, your unique lo-
cal health and vitamin store, we’ve found many simple and effective strategies to prevent holiday
weight gain. Furthermore, these tips can also help you drop excess weight. What’s not to like?
Eat more (good) fat. Good quality fat in your diet can help to ward off pounds because it keeps
you satiated and, therefore, less likely to binge on holiday goodies. We eat plenty of good fats
like raw coconut oil, cold-pressed olive oil, MCT oil (also a great fat burner and brain booster),
grass-fed butter and quality meats and dairy.
Incorporate intermittent fasting. Contrary to popular belief (as we typically preach) eating less
often – but NOT less – can be a huge boost to dropping excess weight. Intermittent fasting has
been proven scientifically to support weight loss and optimal cellular health since the beginning
of time. For example, prior to a big holiday meal, skip breakfast and drink only water or coffee/
tea with some good fat like grass-fed butter or coconut oil blended into it. When it’s time to eat
later in the day, your body will be ready and you’ll enjoy it even more. Hunger is truly the best
spice!
Do a cellular detox. Once the holidays come to an end, it’s the perfect time to give your body
some much needed TLC. One of the best ways to improve your cellular health is by doing a True
Cellular Detox™. Our True Cellular Detox™ program is NOT your typical juice fast or colon
cleanse. We get to the ROOT source of what may be causing health challenges and weight gain
by supporting your body’s natural ability to remove deep-seated toxins to help you realize your
best health.
Wanna learn more? Stop by the store (M-F 9AM-6PM) and one of our certified health coaches
can share on our proven strategies (and many more) to help you drop weight, improve energy,
and get your best health ever.
At Revelation Health, Allison Park’s Best Kept Secret, we battle misinformation. We help
people cut through the confusion and optimize their nutrition. More energy, reversal of symp-
toms, weight loss and an enhanced sense of well-being are the words we hear from customers and
clients. We remain a best kept secret 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. Advertorial

An Amazing Midsummer Night’s Dream
by Diane Prem
T he Hampton High School Theater Depart-
ment presented William Shakespeare's “A
Midsummer Night's Dream" in Novem-
ber. This tried and true classic, full of old lan-
guage and prose, had a timeless, almost contem-
porary, overtone conveyed by the skillful deliv-
ery of the actors, creative minimalist sets, and
innovative costumes such as pointed ears and
unique colorful fairies. It was simply amazing to
watch this extremely talented cast deliver such
complicated rhetoric with familiarity and ease,
and it’s comedic timing that clearly captivated
the audience.
The play tells the story of a duke planning his
marriage, comedic star-crossed lovers, an en-
chanted forest, a misguided parent, and that love
can make us all fools. Demetrius, played by
Spencer Homitz, and Lysander, played by James
Omecene, whose characters vied for the same
love interest said, “It was really tough to learn
the lines at first, but once we did it was easier to
get into the acting. Even though we were at odds
with each other, we had a good dynamic. The (Continued on page 19)

Twins Give Generously to the Animals by Gail Scott
Cole and Connor Butler had a wonderful 5th birthday in Octo-
ber and they made sure the dogs and cats at the Animal Rescue
League (ARL) had a great day, too. The twins asked their friends
and family to bring presents for the animals at the ARL instead of
giving them birthday gifts.
Cole and Connor have 2 pugs, Roxy and Coco, and their entire
family loves animals. The boys’ parents, Katie and Jim Butler,
volunteered at animal shelters growing up and they taught philan-
thropic values to the boys at an early age. The boys decided they
wanted to collect food and gifts for animals who don't always have
enough food and may not have a home yet. The family decided to
donate to the Animal Rescue League who is merging with the Hu-
mane Society in a new building on Washington Boulevard.
The twins had a magic themed party for their birthday in Octo-
ber. About 70 children and parents enjoyed a magic show, making
crafts, pizza, and custom balloon animals by Al Mazing. The boys
received tons of donations for the animals at ARL from their friends
and family at the party. The Butler family would also like to give
extra thanks to Cindy and the Gibsonia Target Team for their gener-
ous donation of a gift card to buy more food for the animals.
Cole, Connor, Katie, and Jim loaded up their car in early No-
vember and delivered a huge amount of food and supplies to the
animals ARL. The volunteers at the shelter were very thankful to
receive the boys gifts.
Cole and Connor will go to kindergarten at Poff next year and
they will have wonderful stories to share with their friends about
their 5th birthday and the animals at the Animal Rescue league.
For information about donations or adoptions, you can visit
their website at www.animalrescue.org.

Hampton Soccer Club’s New Tradition
by Tina Harper
T he fall soccer season had
ended and most players put
away their spikes for the win-
ter. However, on November 5, there
was one last game played that, hope-
fully, will be the beginning of a new
tradition. The Hampton Soccer
Club’s U19 Co-Ed team challenged
the Club’s coaches to a game. More
than 15 high school-aged players
and 10 coaches showed up for a fun,
pick-up game of soccer.
The coaches were excited about
the prospect of playing against the high-
school-aged soccer players. It was a great
way for coaches to meet
and interact with the next
generation of coaches.
Kareem Demian, a U7/8
coach, remarked, “This is
great! I hope they do this
again.” When mentioned
that the Club hoped this
pick-up game started a new Hampton Soccer
Club tradition, Kareem said, “We should do it
every month!”
The U19 Co-Ed players were surprised by
the skill and fitness of the adults. Despite
great effort on the part of the students, the
coaches won the game.
Thank you to ALL the coaches of Hampton
Soccer Club who give so much of their time
volunteering to help players hone their skills
and have some fun learning the game of soc-
cer.

HHS Band Motivates Runners for Armed Forces Charity Event
by Tina Harper
H ampton High School Band members and their direc-
tor, Mr. Chad Himmler, voluntarily got up early on a
chilly Sunday morning, November 5th, to support Op-
eration Troop Appreciation (OTA) and its annual 5K fundrais-
er.
Operation Troop Appreciation is dedicated to the active
and veteran members of our Armed Forces who serve and sacri-
fice for our country.
The twenty-six band members positioned themselves at the
Fridley Field gravel lot, near the steep part of Topnick Drive.
Participants in the 5K pushed themselves to run up the hill,
round the middle school, then headed back down the hill. The
band played upbeat tunes and cheered on the runners and walk-
ers during the duration of the race. Hampton Bands have a his-
tory of supporting community activities, including the Hampton
Memorial Day ceremony, the HAEE fundraising race, and the
Veterans’ Day parade in Pittsburgh. Participants enjoy the mu-
sic and the support, many thanking the band as they run past.

entertainment business.
Hampton Middle School did an outstanding job
with their production of the famous show. Among
the main characters were Mr. Willy Wonka, “the
greatest candy maker of all time,” who was played by
Lake Strobel, and of course little Charlie, who was
played by Brooks Brady. After Willy Wonka made
his grand entrance, the Oompa Loompas took posi-
tion and the show began!
The students kicked
off the evening with a
brilliant introductory
musical ensemble.
From there, the journey
of Willy Wonka and
the Chocolate Factory
unraveled, as did the
wonderful music. The
voices of the sixth,
seventh, and eighth
graders bellowed as if
they were part of a
broadway musical. The
play was off to a very
smooth start.
The show went on, and
the golden tickets were
found one by one. It was-
n’t until dead last, fifth out
of five, that Charlie finally
found his golden ticket.
After the play, Brooks
said, “my favorite part was
where I got to fly during
the fizzy drink scene. You
don't get to float 10 feet off of a stage every day!” The
special effects by the cast and crew were marvelous.
When asked if being in the play was chal-
lenging, Brooks encouraged future stu-
dents to try out, and he said, “I was really
excited after I got the part of Charlie, but I
was a little nervous too because I had
never been in a musical before.” His
nerves certainly didn't show, as his part
went off flawlessly.
After the intermission, the excitement
began again. The lucky winners of the
golden tickets made their way inside the
factory, and they got to meet Mr. Willy
Wonka. With brilliant special effects, the
play went off as if it were playing on a big
stage. Each student who participated,
from the cast, to the band, to the stage
crew, put in an incredible amount of hard
work and preparation. When talking about
a stunt in which she fell through a trap
door, Lindsey Schwartzbach commented,
“It was scary at first. Then I started prac-
ticing, and it became more routine and
fun.” She fell about 7 feet onto a gym
mat.
HMS Musical (Continued from page 1)
Ava Mushinsky was asked about being in the school play. She re-
sponded, “It was hard at first, but as time went on I got to meet so many
new people and made so many new friends.” All of the cast could agree
that it was a great experience, and they got to meet a lot of new friends.
Everyone’s hard work payed off, as the show finished without a prob-
lem. As Willy Wonka, Charlie, the Oompa Loompas, and the rest of the
cast and crew took their final bows, the friends and family in the crowd
showed their appreciation with a roaring applause. Congratulations to all
the students and volunteers who helped in making the 2016 production
of Willy Wonka such a success, and congratulations to Hampton Middle
School as a whole!

our veterans and see "real" people who
made significant sacrifices in order to
defend our country. It's especially poign-
ant when the fifth graders from across
the district host the event. It's important
to connect our students to the men and
women who have served in the armed
forces. As one of the fifth grade essay
writers said, they may not wear capes
and masks, but they are the true heroes
of our time.”
The Pledge of Allegiance at the be-
ginning of the program was led by
Hampton students Austin, Nathan, and
Caitlyn Garrett, whose grandfather Nich-
olas Salvia (USMC) and uncle Todd
Salvia (USAF) and were among the
day’s honorees.
In addition to the Salvias, the other
Hampton Heroes recognized were Robert
Fagan (US Army), James Fetterhoff (US
Navy), the late George Graf Sr. (US Ar-
my) and his son, George Graf Jr. (US
Army), Joseph Hrason (USAF), the late
Catherine Smith (US Navy) and her hus-
band, the late John Smith (US Army Air
Corps), and the late Anthony Soloman
(US Army) – a survivor of the Pearl Har-
bor bombing.

framing the show. Their love interest flipped off and on again
between two women, Helena and Hermia, superbly played by
Esme Rubinstein and Caroline Collins. James McDaid who
played Oberon the fairy king said,” It’s was hard to understand
at first, but once everyone learned their lines it all came togeth-
er. I’m very happy how it turned out.” Fairy Chloe Sinagra and
Titania’s Train Hanna Bernett concluded that the play was
amazing and everyone worked hard to make it successful.

Al’s Bike Drive Begins its 8th Year
Hello Neighbors!
The 2016 Bike Drive has begun! Donations are
being accepted and volunteer support is needed to
make this year’s drive a success. This year, the goal is
600 bicycles. Yes, 600!
Why bikes? They began this bike drive in 2008
with the support and help of the Pittsburgh Chapter of
the National Association of Insurance and Financial
Advisors who have sponsored an annual luncheon to
support Toys for Tots. Financial Planner, Al Todd had
served on the board for many years and had learned
that larger, more expensive items must be donated to
the Marines as they are limited on what they may pur-
chase. The Marines
made mention that
some bicycles were in
need. Al grew up rid-
ing his bike every-
where. He decided
that every child should
have the opportunity
to have a bike to ride.
That year, and with the
ongoing support of his
company, Thrivent
Financial, he raised funds to purchase 31 bicycles. In 2009, funds were
raised for 78. 2010 saw 166 bicycles delivered, and it just kept growing.
Last year, 511 bikes were donated to the Marines’ Toys for Tots Program
far and wide.
Spread the love this holiday season, and put a smile on a child’s face.
With your donation, a child will have the opportunity to have the right of
passage of riding a bike. Al’s Bike Drive is a registered 501(c)3 non prof-
it organization. If you are able to donate by check, please make your
check payable to “Al’s Bike Drive”. You can mail it to “Al’s Bike Drive,

Current Events Carolers Do What They Enjoy
This holiday season,
a group of Hampton
High School students
will ring in the season
by caroling throughout
Hampton in support of
their award-winning
theatre program. Eager
to create holiday mo-
ments within local homes and neighborhoods,
the “Cast of Carolers” showcases the talents of
the cast, stage crew, and orchestra for the
spring musical, Big Fish, which will grace the
HHS stage April 7, 8, 21, and 22.
Last year, the self-supporting theatre pro-
gram brought together student carolers to pro-
vide holiday cheer to a handful of neighbors.
The singers became so popular that they were
invited to entertain at private parties, ultimately
performing to hundreds throughout the commu-
nity.
The group operates under the direction of
Hampton CATS (Creative Arts & Theatre Sup-
porters), a non-profit booster group. For up-
