by Diane Prem 

A small crowd gathered to witness the dedication 

ceremony held at the Hampton Township Police 

Building on October 10 th 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-

Eagle Scout Project 

(Continued from page 1) 

ation to the police officers for all their 

efforts and valor,” said an impassioned 

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 installation 

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’Connor 

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 Pecora 

is slated to replace Chief Connolly 

when he vacates the post. 

“It’s not often young people outwardly 

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 Hampton 

Township Council President Victor 

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 organizations. 

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 benefit 

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 children, 

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! 


For Gene Cahill, Hampton High School alumni for the class 

2007, that phrase has particular meaning. A research programmer 

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 Android 

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. 

Gene Cahill 

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 enhancements 

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 expects 

additional ideas will present themselves to develop apps 

in helping him with productivity, organization and other educational 

focused needs. Who knows what apps will come 

from Cahill’s imagination during grad school

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.

Cranberries are gathered with a boom in a flooded bog 

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

beginning in mid September and running through mid November. 

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 referred 

to in the industry, stir up the water in the bogs and cranberries 

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.

Place the almonds on a baking stone or parchment lined 

pan, sprinkle with sugar and toast at 350° F for 5 to 10 minutes

A Soccer Legend Hangs 

up his Spikes 

by Tina Harper 

Local soccer legend and winningest 

girls’ soccer coach, Frank Christy, will 

retire as the Hampton High School Girls’ 

Soccer coach at the end of this season. 

Mr. Christy began his soccer career 

playing for Fox Chapel High School, then 

Bethany College, WV. He started coaching 

youth soccer in 1973 including positions 

with Fox Chapel Girls’ Varsity; 

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 400 th 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 experience, 

“It has been a great pleasure being 

coached by Mr. Christy, one of the best, 

most dedicated, and well-respected coaches 

in WPIAL. His many Photo years by Donna of experience 

and knowledge of the game is what 

Falso 

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!”

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 sudden, 

one of the kids 

turned around, bent down 

Ivy smiling 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 contact. 

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 outdoors. 

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. 

Pet Food Donations Accepted 

Many pets are ending up at shelters due to the economic downturn. 

Local families need your help to keep their pets at home. 

Bradford Hills Veterinary Hospital, Pet Hotel and Pet Salon is 

accepting donations of good-dated, unopened, non-prescription 

dog and cat food for NHCO to assist local families in need. Donations 

accepted through November 15 at Bradford Hills Veterinary 

Hospital, 13055 Perry Highway, Wexford, PA 15090.

Hampton Junior Selected as One 

Young World Reporter 


Hampton Junior, Madeline (Maddie) Adamczyk, was selected 

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 journalism 

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 Pennsylvania 

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 related 

to storytelling and story development, use of various media – 

including video, audio, photography, blogs, writing and infographics 

– 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.

stated Adamczyk. 

Maddie enjoyed

and was honored to represent 

Hampton High School 

at the event. She plans to 

utilize her writing skills in 

her career choice. Her advice 

to others, “Keep writing, 

it pays off. This event 

broadened my skills and I 

believe it will provide opportunities 

for the future.”

David Tusick is 30th District Endorsed Candidate 

by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 

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 communities 

for the common good. You could have a conversation 

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 commonwealth. 

His roots run deep as a 3 rd generation member 

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

High School. He is honored to have the opportunity 

to be elected to represent the 30 th District in Harrisburg. 

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. Additionally, 

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

education. 

Endorsed by the PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE 

as the 30 th 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 

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.
