Boys’ Lacrosse are WPIAL Champs 

By Autumn Edmiston 

The Hampton boys' lacrosse team defeated 

Greensburg Central Catholic to win 

the WPIAL Division 2 Championship.

silver medal. Next year Hampton will 

move up to Division I playing against Quad 

A schools. 

Junior Andy DeMichiei was named Division 

2 player of the year and a US Lacrosse 

All-American. The-All American honors 

are for the entire WPIAL Division 1 and

Healthier Children with 

Chiropractic (Revisited) 

by Dr. Domenic Febbraro 

As a society, we (as parents) 

appreciate the importance 

of regular 

checkups for our children’s 

teeth, hearing, 

and vision, but we are 

Dr. Febbraro poorly informed of the 

need for spinal checkups. 

This is a distressing fact, because a Chiropractic 

checkup is one of the most important 

checkups your children will ever have! 

We can appreciate this by understanding that 

your child’s spine protects their spinal cord,

Indy 500 Here We Come! 

by Diane Prem 

T 

he 

Hampton High School Marching 

Band practiced many days after 

school marching around the high 

school in parade formation under the blazing 

sun to prepare for the three mile, hour and 

one-half march in the Indy 500 Parade on 

Saturday, May 26 th. “There are 154 students 

going, and they are very well prepared. It’s 

a gigantic event, one of the top three parades 

in the country, and is the culmination of a 

month-long racing celebration. Indianapolis 

really rolls it out. I am genuinely looking 

forward to the trip!” stated Band Director 

Chad Himmler. 

Everyday leading up to the event and the 

entire weekend was planned out to ensure 

things ran smoothly. The Thursday beforehand, 

students dropped off their luggage at 

the high school to have it inspected the next 

day by police dogs. Sousaphone player Matt 

Bauman said, “It’s a social event that everyone 

looks forward to and Mr. Himmler does 

a great job organizing the event.” “We are 

all so excited to be together all weekend, not 

only for the parade but for Cedar Point. It is 

going to be so much fun!” exclaimed “Clare 

Sisters” (a nickname for the clarinet players) 

Kat Omecene and Sarah Zbur. 

The students departed directly after 

school in motor coaches for the ten-hour bus 

ride that included a stop at the Golden Corral 

in Zanesville, Ohio. The next day, after a 

buffet breakfast at the Sheraton Hotel, students 

departed for the Indianapolis 500 Festival 

Parade in downtown Indianapolis. 

With a forecasted temperature reaching into 

the mid-90’s, this would be the hottest performance 

ever in the history of the parade. 

The parade was televised on the NBC 

Sports Network, while viewers watched the 

band’s outstanding performance on the 

checkered-carpet to a crowd of approximately 

300,000. This is the largest audience 

the band will perform for during their high 

school years. 

Olivia Newton-John and 

viewers were treated to a 

spectacle that included 

the Indianapolis 500 racecar 

drivers, celebrities 

such as Gladys Knight, 

Guy Fieri and Jana 

Kramer, mascots Smurfette 

and Clumsy Smurf, 

and 14 marching bands 

from across the country. 

The evening concluded 

with a dinner and 

party at the Children’s 

Museum of Indianapolis, 

The Grand Marshall was 

open to all of the bands performing at the 

parade. There, students danced to music 

spun by a DJ, mingled with other bands, and 

roamed the museum’s many displays and 

activities. The excitement and fun continued 

the next day with a trip to Cedar Point, Ohio. 

Clad in matching T-shirts, the band spent 12 

hours hanging out with friends, enjoying 

rides, attractions, and concession stands. 

The exhilarated and tired students returned 

to Hampton High School around 2:00 a.m. 

It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. 

The weekend was filled with great fun 

and never-ending excitement. Congratulations 

for an outstanding job!

the road. The accident caused the partial closure of East Hardies 

Road for the better portion of the following day. The driver was 

found to be under the influence of alcohol. Charges are pending. 

On Monday, May 14 at 4:30 p.m., police responded to the 

intersection of Oakhill Road and Lakemont Drive for a vehicle 

into a guardrail. The driver appeared to be intoxicated and was 

attempting to leave the scene. He was unable to complete field 

sobriety tests and was placed under arrest for suspicion of DUI. 

While investigating the accident, it was discovered that he 

crashed into a closed garage door and a no parking sign. After 

running over the parking sign, he crossed the intersection before 



Who Else Wants to Use 

this Ridiculously Simple 

Anti-aging Strategy? 

Dr. Howard Rosenthal 

I 

am often asked: "Dr. Rosenthal, what is 

your favorite research experiment of alltime?" 

The answer, my dear reader, is 

easy. It was a truly amazing experiment conducted 

by psychologist Ellen Langer, the first 

woman tenured at Harvard University. 

In 1979 Dr. Langer and four graduate assistants 

compiled a group of 70 to 80 year old 

men. She then placed them in a retreat setting. Dr. Langer told 

them to live as if it was 1959. Yes, their photo IDs were from 

1959. Yes, the magazines in their living quarters were from 

1959; and yes, when asked what they did for a living, the participants 

answered as if it was still . . . you guessed it . . . 1959. 

Heart throbs and super stars Bobby Darin and Frankie Avalon 

graced the waves of the AM radio stations. 

In as little as one week time (aging?) reversed for these 

men. Their arthritis and finger flexibility improved -- no pain 

pills necessary! Their skin and hormonal profiles improved and 

get this; people who saw their pictures taken at the time rated 

them as looking much younger. The clock for these men didn't 

just stop; instead it went backwards or counterclockwise. 

What will you be thinking about yourself today? Or as

striking the guardrail. Charges to follow. 

On Friday, May 18 at approximately 4:50 p.m., police 

were dispatched to a two-vehicle accident on Wildwood 

Sample Road. The driver failed to negotiate a curve properly 

and went into the oncoming lane striking another vehicle. 

The driver of that vehicle complained of head, neck and back 

pain and was transported to the hospital to be evaluated. The 

driver who caused the accident was still sitting behind the 

steering wheel complaining of head pain. While speaking to 

her, police could detect an odor of alcohol. She stated she 

had a couple glasses of wine. While medics removed her 

from the vehicle, police again could detect the odor of alcohol 

as she spoke to police and the medics. The police were 

unable to have the driver perform field sobriety tests at the 

scene based on her apparent injuries. She was transported to 

UPMC Passavant. Charges are pending. 

Chef’s Corner 

Beef Short Ribs are Tall in Flavor 

by John Rizzo 

I 

vividly remember my mother making a hot meal every night 

for dinner while growing up. It would be a rare occasion if she 

didn’t. Looking back, I’m sure it was very difficult for her to 

offer variety while living within our means. There were a lot of 

cuts of meat that were common and relatively inexpensive back 

then, but seem to have disappeared over the years. One of them is 

the short rib of beef. And like much else, they are making a comeback. 

Short ribs have grown in popularity in the food service industry 

over the past few years. I’m beginning to see them at upscale 

restaurants and high end catered events as well. 

So what exactly is a short rib? There are couple different cuts 

that are called short ribs. One is the single bone English Cut, cut 

from the chuck and the other is the flanken cut, from the belly. The 

latter is cross cut over 3 bones, my personal preference. Regardless 

of the cut, short ribs are not a naturally tender cut of beef; they contain 

a fair amount of connective tissue and fat. Therefore, they have 

to be braised (slow cooked in liquid) to become tender. Both cuts 

are extremely flavorful and will provide plenty of rich stock for a 

nice sauce or even a beef broth soup.

Heat the oil in a large heavy saucepan and brown the short ribs 

on both sides. It’s unlikely that all the short ribs will fit so you will 

need to brown them in batches. Set all the browned beef aside and 

add the remaining ingredients, with the exception of the sesame oil 

to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil and turn off the heat. 

This is your braising liquid. 

Layer the ribs in a large casserole or baking dish and cover with 

the braising liquid. Cover the pan and bake at 300° F for 

approximately 3 hours or until the ribs are very tender and falling 

off the bones. At that time, remove all the beef from the pan and 

strain the stock into a saucepan. Skim any grease off the top and let 

the mixture simmer for about 15 minutes, stir in the sesame oil. 

If you want a nice thin sauce, it’s ready to go as is. If you prefer 

a little more texture, thicken it slightly with a slurry of cornstarch 

and water. 

Cut off any remaining fat and sinew from the ribs. Pour enough 

sauce to coat the bottom of a meat platter and arrange the ribs on 

top. Serve with rice and the remaining sauce.

Lady Rockets Take Local 

Championship Title 

by Emily Stitt 

It’s Time to Register For The... 

The freshmen that make up the Lady Rockets basketball 

team have been playing together forever, or so it seems. The 

freshmen girls on Hampton’s AAU team have been playing together 

since 6 th grade. Ever since then, they have travelled together, 

going all over Pittsburgh, looking 

simply to play the game of basketball. 

They’ve lost some games, and won some, but 

along the way they’ve built a team chemistry 

that is unlike almost any other. The way typical 

AAU teams work is a collection of girls, 

usually one or two of the best from their particular 

district, form an All-Star team of sorts. 

All true AAU teams are comprised of girls 

who lead their school teams, making most 

travel teams fierce foes. Hampton has struck 

something truly unique. During the offseason, 

all of Hampton’s freshmen girls play 

together. As stated above, their record isn’t 

always perfect. But the experiences they have 

in the off-season make them a nearly unbeatable 

team for schools in their section. Collectively, 

as of the past two years, Hampton’s JV 

basketball team has lost only two games. And 

their chemistry is starting to pay off during 

travel ball too: the Lady Rockets recently 

won a tournament run by Basketball Stars of 

America, taking place at North Allegheny 

Senior High School. They overcame 4 different 

teams in order to become champions, including some out-ofstate. 

Hannah McAfoose, a forward, says, “We support each 

other, especially when someone’s having an off day.” Stephanie 

Murray, another forward, also comments on the close knit nature 

of the team: “We’ve learned the meaning of a team working together 

to win…we work on developing a team, not individual 

players.” The Lady Rockets have been successful because of 

their team-centered attitude.

Hampton High School Rowing Teammates 

Row their Way to College 

By Autumn Edmiston 

F 

rom learn to row day, national bronze medal winners and college 

bound scholarship awardees, Jordan Bamrick and Kelley 

Bittner have what it takes to be winners! This was the third 

consecutive appearance for the Women’s Varsity Four boat to attend 

the SRAA National Rowing Championship and the second consecutive 

First Place win at Midwest Championship! 

Their Women’s Varsity Four boat with teammates Emily Wilson, 

Katie Dukovich, and Jessica Garver just won the Bronze Medal at the 

National Scholastic Rowing Championship held Memorial Day weekend 

in Camden, NJ. This is a tremendous accomplishment for Hampton 

competing against the biggest and best teams in the nation. 

A friend encouraged Jordan to try rowing at the teams “Learn to 

Row” day four years ago. The friend didn’t like rowing, but Jordan 

fell in love with the sport and has been rowing ever since. Bamrick 

states, “Rowing forces a team to work together. When you're on the 

water, you can't just walk away if you have a problem. You're forced 

to work through the problem, and it creates a special bond with the 

other people in your boat." It will be exciting to go to college where 

my coach is also a coxswain (directing the boat) like me.” 

Like Jordan, Kelley Bittner began her rowing career at “Learn to 

Row” day. Prior to rowing she ran track, but really found her niche on 

the water. Bittner enjoys the adrenaline rush she gets when rowing. 

Bittner said, “As a 2 year Captain, it’s rewarding to see new rowers 

grow. I hope to carry this with me as I move on to Robert Morris University 

and look forward to the intensity of rowing at a college level.” 

Bittner received a $12,000 per year scholarship to row for Robert 

Morris University and Bamrick received a $2,000 per year athletic 

scholarship from Canisius College in Buffalo New York. Hampton 

hasn’t heard the last of this dynamic duo!

Alex Merz Chosen For Team 

USA Roller Hockey Team 

by Autumn Edmiston 

Photo courtesy of Madia Photography 

Alex Merz, a sophomore 

at Hampton High 

School, began playing 

hockey when he was 5 

years old. For the past 

eleven years he’s 

honed his skills and 

earned a spot on Team 

USA Roller Hockey 

and will be playing in 

Bucacamuranga, Columbia 

in July. 

He was coached by 

his father, his brother 

Bryan, who coaches in 

Namibia and South 

Africa, and Dustin 

Roux, who plays for 

Team USA's men's 

team and for Team 

Reebok. At the urging 

of John Roux, President 

of the Amateur 

Athletic Union, Alex 

sent his hockey resume 

to qualify for TEAM 

USA. The officials then 

interviewed his coaches, 

and in Alex's case, 

scouted his play in the 

AIHL. 

His work in the 

PIRHL as a referee has 

expanded Alex’s circle 

of friends beyond Hampton 

and has encompassed 

a broad range of 

ages. 

When asked what’s 

next, Alex responded, “I 

hope to attend Pitt or 

Robert Morris and play 

in-line hockey. I want to 

bring awareness to the 

sport and make others 

aware that professional 

in-line hockey is as competitive 

as ice hockey - 

just not as expensive.” 

Alex would like 

to make the AIHL minor 

team next year, and 

hopes to play for whatever college he 

attends. Wherever he ends up - 

hockey will be in the cards for Alex.

Young Talent Dazzles 

at St. Ursula 

A 

n 

outstanding performance of the 

Broadway Junior show “Willy 

Wonka, Jr” was given by 36 students 

at St. Ursula School in grades three 

to eight on May 10 th and 11 th in the St. 

Ursula School Hall. “Willy Wonka, Junior” 

is a Broadway, Jr. show based on Roald 

Dahl's timeless story of the 

world famous candy man and 

his quest to find an heir to continue 

his candy-making. The 

story is a stage adaptation by 

Leslie Briscusse and Timothy 

A. McDonald of the novel 

“Charlie and The Chocolate 

Factory”. Words and music 

are written by Leslie Bricusse 

and Anthony Newley. Mrs. 

Patty Cross creatively directed 

and choreographed a very entertaining 

production. Mrs. 

Cross volunteered many hours 

to put together this show which 

was her twelfth quality full 

musical production, so that St. 

Ursula students can experience 

the benefits of participating in 

theatre and the arts in education. 

Assisting Mrs. Cross 

were several other teachers 

who also volunteered their 

time. Professor Lillian Coury worked 

with the children on their songs and harmonies. 

Mrs. Mary Heyl constructed 

great props such as the Pink Candy Boat 

and the Willy Wonka factory set with the 

middle school students. Mrs. Diane Pontoriero 

and daughter, Eva, contributed 

artistic pieces such as the Wonka gate, 

Wonka doors, and lollipops along with the 

help of the students Mrs. Diann Ranallo 

worked the sound and music cues during 

many of the practices and during the 

shows. Parents of the cast gathered costume 

pieces and Mrs. Cross also gathered 

prop pieces, costumes, and made the 

twenty-four Oompa Loompa headpieces. 

Congratulations and best of luck to the 

eighth grade students who appeared in 

their final musical at St. Ursula School: 

Erica Davis, Riley McKee, Matthew

Students Win 

Scholarship Contest 


Kudos to Hampton High School Juniors Ashton Watts and 

Melissa Gorham and 6 th grader Adam Watts for being winners 

in the Take A Shot Contest sponsored by Steeltown Entertainment 

Project. They were awarded $1,000 for being the Fan 

Favorite in the 10-12 

grade division for their 

creation of a Pittsburghthemed 

rap video. 

"Take a Shot at Changing 

the World" began as a 

student "viral" video 

competition that aimed to 

educate a new generation 

about the miraculous 

efforts of Jonas Salk and 

the Polio vaccine. In its 

second year, "Take a 

Shot" has expanded its 

scope and asked students 

to make short films about 

social issues that are 

meaningful to them or the 

region. 

Melissa commented, “We chose the topic of innovation in 

Pittsburgh because Ashton will be moving to Tennessee and 

wanted a last memory of the city. I’ve lived in Pittsburgh my 

whole life and thought it would make me find out information I 

might not have known otherwise.”

Petsitting, Training and Behavior Counseling 

“Itch” 

by Jan McCune 

Often dog owners ask about 

their dogs licking their feet or 

scratching. Please understand 

I’m not attempting to play doctor 

but just from experience 

there are a few things you can 

try before you get into really 

expensive tests. I always suggest 

changing your dog’s food. 

Many dogs that have been on 

the same food for a long time 

develop 

intolerance 

to the food. 

It could be 

one of the 

ingredients 

such as 

poultry, 

lamb, gluten, 

etc. 

Take a look 

at the list of 

ingredients 

on the bag 

of your cur- 

Archie 

rent dog 

food. If the 

main protein 

is chicken, try lamb, or duck or 

fish or vice versa. As with any 

food, gradually change your 

dog’s food. If you do it all at 

once your dog may get an upset 

stomach. Give your dog’s system 

a chance to acclimate to the 

new food. It can take several 

weeks; this only applies to itching, 

no other medical issue. It’s 

amazing how a subtle change 

can make a huge difference. If 

your dog eats canned food and 

sometimes has a little bout of 

diarrhea or soft stool try putting 

some canned pumpkin (not 

pumpkin pie filling) in a bland 

diet (boiled chicken or ground 

meat and rice), about 1- 

tablespoon. 

Try it and you 

should see 

a difference. 

Unfortunately, 

this time of 

year dogs 

that have 

allergies 

are miserable. 

Grass 

allergies 

are difficult 

for dogs. 

Lastly, always 

remember, 

if 

your dog is 

really sick get him or her to the 

vet or emergency vet as soon as 

possible. Senior dogs and puppies 

that experience unchecked, 

long bouts (more than 1 day) of 

diarrhea can be fatal due to dehydration. 

Celiac disease 

(Continued from page 1) 

Hampton High School. “With glutenfree 

foods 242% more expensive, on 

average, than their gluten counterparts, 

there are people who need gluten-free 

food, but cannot afford to buy 

it.” 

Runners can sign up for the race at 

http://5kforceliac.wildapricot.org until 

Friday, June 22 nd or on the day of the 

race, starting at 7am at Hartwood 

Acres. The races start at 9am and all 

runners who pre-register will get a t- 

shirt. There will be gluten-free snacks 

for all runners, as well as people available 

to answer questions about celiac 

disease and gluten intolerance, including 

an area where kids can ask other 

kids about living with celiac disease. 

Runners can also bring a gluten-free 

food item, such as cereal, cookies, 

crackers or pasta for the Pittsburgh 

food pantries. This event is being 

sponsored by the North Hills Community 

Outreach and the Gluten Intolerance 

Group (GIG). 

Doctors estimate that 1 in 133 

Americans have celiac disease and 

over 97% are not diagnosed. Between 

5 and 10% of all people may suffer 

from a gluten sensitivity of some 

form. There are over 300 symptoms 

associated with celiac disease, including 

bloating, weight loss, anemia, 

chronic fatigue, weakness and bone 

pain and the only known “cure” is 

eating a gluten-free diet. For more 

information on celiac disease, visit the 

GIG website at http://www.gluten.net.

Depreciation Lands Museum 

Adventures in 

Pioneer Living Camp 

The Depreciation Lands Museum, a living history 

museum and village in Allison Park, just north of 

Pittsburgh, will offer two sessions of its popular pioneer 

living camp. The first session, for kids eight to 

eleven, will take place June 18 through June 22, from 

9 a.m. to noon. The second session, for kids eleven to 

fourteen, will run from August 6 to August 9, from 6 

to 8 p.m. 

At pioneer camp, the year is 1792. Revolutionary 

War soldiers have been purchasing land here in western 

PA since 1783 with Depreciation Land certificates, 

payment for their time in the military. The Iroquois 

are still reluctant to give up their ancient hunting 

grounds in the area, though, and now the land has 

also been opened to homesteaders! 

Campers will choose to experience life as an Indian, 

pioneer, or soldier. Each day features time to 

work on a craft, prepare foods, and learn the history, 

lore, and skills of campers’ chosen group. The August 

camp will focus in more detail on skills required to 

survive and thrive during the early days of the Depreciation 

Lands. 

Tuition—$100 for non-members or $80 for members—includes 

a costume to borrow for the week and 

all materials. Slots fill quickly, so those interested 

should contact the museum for a registration form, or 

download one from the museum website, to reserve 

their place.

which contains billions of nerve fibers that send “well” 

messages and life-giving energy to every part of their 

body. 

Interference to these nerve fibers can occur when 

tiny spinal misalignments called vertebral subluxations 

exist. Subluxations distort messages from the 

brain to the rest of the body, leading to a state of disease, 

and a lowered resistance to illness results when 

the body is in a state of dis-ease. In effect, vertebral 

subluxations rob the body of its optimal ability to heal 

and repair itself from within, thus diminishing a child’s 

capacity to express health and vitality. 

Reasons for the cause of infant and childhood 

subluxations include labor & delivery difficulties, such 

as breeched births, C-sections, and the use of forceps 

or vacuum extraction at birth. Slips and falls associated 

with play-time, and sport-related injuries also play 

a role in the occurrence of subluxation early on. In 

fact, health problems in childhood, or even adulthood, 

have been traced back to spinal damage at birth. 

Warning signs of vertebral subluxation may include 

fatigue, joint pains, “noisy” bones, frequent falling, 

hyperactivity, postural imbalances (shoulder/ 

hips appear unlevel), and recurring illnesses such as 

headaches, ear, nose, and throat infections. Chiropractic 

care specifically corrects subluxation, thereby 

restoring the body’s natural and optimal healing ability. 

It is not necessarily a “treatment” for all of the 

above named conditions, but an approach aimed at the 

underlying cause in many cases. 

The focus of my practice is to educate and encourage whole 

family participation toward the goal of optimal health through 

Chiropractic care. Recognizing that prevention is always the 

best defense against the possibility of disease is critical for our 

existing and future generations of truly healthy, drug-free 

children.

to pediatric health care, visit www.icpa4kids.org. 

At Health First Chiropractic, Dr. Domenic Febbraro serves 

Hampton Township and surrounding communities with over 15 

years experience in pediatric and adult corrective spinal care. A 

graduate of Central Catholic High School in 1988, he received 

his doctorate from Life University, School of Chiropractic in 

1996. He is a member of the Chiropractic Fellowship of PA, and 

the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association. His purpose 

is to educate and care for as many families as possible toward 

optimal health through natural Chiropractic care! (located
