by Kim Ferer
Hampton Middle School students competed in
the annual Battery Car Race at Duquesne Universi-
ty ballroom in late February. The 6th grade division
was challenged to build a car frame and battery
with a battery pack, motor and at least one drive
wheel. The 7th and 8th grade participants had the
same requirements with the additional challenge of
transporting a payload of a full 16.9 ounce water
bottle in a compart-
ment at the top of
the car. Hampton
students worked
after school and
weekends with
their team, made up
of 2-4 members to
build their cars.
This project was
supervised by Miss
Gwen Cohen,
Hampton Middle
School’s Enrich-
ment Facilitator.

The Smoothest Secret
Every day we talk to people . . . a great many people . . .
about how they should change their diets. While the world of
nutrition has grown complex with the insurgence of GMOs and
processed grains, there are some basic rules that can get even
the most uninformed to make better choices.
The challenge for most people, once they understand what
to do, is figuring out how to do it. In theory it's easy, but in the
real world, it's not always simple to find the time to whip up
some free range, cage-free eggs and cheese from grass-fed pas-
tures. We don't always have the opportunity to cook, grill, bake
or prepare.
In that lies the power of the secret shared among body-
conscious celebrities, busy athletes, and those who walk in per-
fect health while balancing families, lives, careers, and stresses.
They drink their meals! No, not all of them, and no, this isn't the
"shake in the morning, shake at night" strategy the weight loss
programs have shoved down our population’s collective throats.
This is truly a systemic way of getting optimal nutrients into a
body effectively, quickly, and without an ounce of regret or
wonder.
The smoothie is the key to mixing a busy lifestyle with opti-
mal nutrition, and when I say optimal, I mean optimal. I'm talk-
ing about consuming those nutrients that support gut health, that
aid in gut healing, that provide antioxidant, free-radical scav-
enging power, and meet metabolic energy demands in supreme-
ly satisfying meals delivered in glasses.
If you’ve never been to Revelation Health, c’mon in. We’ll
guide you as to how to make better food choices and supply you
with delicious options for making healthy eating simple and
fun.
Stop in any time and we’ll give you, FREE, the recipes for
three Super-Smoothies. No obligation and you don’t have to
buy a thing.
You can make these incredible shakes at home, with a hand-
ful of ingredients, and take a leap forward toward living with
the energy and vitality you always wished for.
(Oh . . . and ask about our FREE Smoothie Workshops on
select Monday evenings each month) advertorial
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 symptoms,
and an enhanced sense of well-being are the words we hear
from our 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! Ask us what
coconut oil, or any of nature’s gifts, can do to improve your
health, your family’s health, and . . . your ability to navigate life
with less stress, more power, and
the vital energy you deserve.

Odyssey of the Mind by Kim Ferer
Teams from Hampton Middle School and Central Elementary
competed in the Odyssey of the Minds, Spontaneous Fun Day on
February 27th, 2016. At Spontaneous Fun Day, participants work
in teams to solve spontaneous problems from three categories:
verbal, hands-on, and combination verbal and hands-on prob-
lems. Teams are judged by their creativity and ability to work as
a team. Both teams chose to solve the moving vehicle problem,
“No-Cycle Recycle.”
On March 12th, 2016, the middle school students took their
“No-Cycle Recycle “ moving vehicle problem to the Western PA
Odyssey of the Mind tournament. Their challenge was to create a
vehicle that two
team members could
ride on that was
powered without
pedaling and travel
to two different eco-
systems in which the
team created using
recycled items.
They also participat-
ed in a spontaneous
problem that was
factored into their
score. Hampton’s
team members in-
cluded 6th graders, Anthony DiMaria, Ben Mikus, and Quentin
Romero-Lauro and 7th graders, Coray Bennett, Tad Swanson, and
Amy Yu. The team placed third in their division!
Odyssey of the Mind is “an international educational program
that provides creative problem solving opportunities for students
from kindergarten through college. Team members apply their
creativity to solve problems that range from building mechanical
devices to presenting their own interpretation of literary classics.
They then bring their solutions to competitions on the local, state,
and world level.”
Mrs. Mary Lynne Bennett is the Odyssey of the Mind coordi-
nator for Hampton School District. She has assisted in coaching
teams from both Hampton Middle School, and Central Elemen-
tary. This was the middle school’s second year competing in the
tournament and Cen-
tral’s third year par-
ticipating in the Od-
yssey of the Mind
program. Other
schools in the Hamp-
ton School District,
including Wyland
Elementary, are
making preparations
to add more teams to
the program next
year.

Hampton Swimming and Diving Team Competes at States
By Gail Scott
S ix Hampton swimming and diving athletes competed in
the PIAA State Championships at Bucknell University
on March 18th-20th. There were 5 swimmers and 1 diver.
The Hampton girls competed at the AAA level on Friday,
March 18th. Clare Flanagan, a junior, swam in the 100 yard
backstroke and finished 12th overall in the state with a school
record time of 57.00 seconds. This broke her previous school
record (57.21) set at WPIAL championships just two weeks
prior. Sophomore Adrienne White competed in the Girls 1 me-
ter diving competition and finished 3rd overall in the state.
The boys competed at the AA level on Friday and Satur-
day, March 18th and 19th. The four
boys are senior Matthew Ramsey,
junior Alex Appel, and sophomores
Jack Lindquist and Brett Scheib. All
four competed in the 400 yard free-
style relay which finished in 16th
place. Jack Lindquist swam the 200
yard individual medley and finished
in 26th place. Brett Scheib competed
in the 200 yard and 500 yard freestyle
events and finished in 19th and 16th
place respectively. Matthew Ramsey
competed in the 50 yard and 100 yard
freestyle events and finished in 2nd
place and 6th place respectively. In
addition to his top 8 finishes, Matthew set a new school record
in the 50 free with a time of 21.11 seconds. He also set a new
school record in the 100 yard freestyle at the WPIAL champi-
onships with a time of
47.08.
In order to qualify to
compete at the PIAA
championships the swim-
mers and divers first had
to compete at the WPIAL
championships and meet
different standards to
reach the state level.
Coach Mike Seiferth said,
“The time and dedication
required to even reach the
PIAA level is no small
undertaking. The kids
train year round at USA
swimming/diving pro-
grams in the area and nev-
er really have an off sea-
son like most sports. All
of the kids who made it to
states this year trained multiple times a day. The swimmers woke
up for morning practices from 5:30-7:00 before school, and
Adrienne would practice at HHS after school and then travel to Pitt
to practice diving again.
Add school on top of that
and they are not left with
much time for a social life!
But it is a small sacrifice
they choose to make in
order to pursue their
dreams of being among the
best in the state and reach
their fullest potential.”
Senior Matthew Ramsey set a
new school record in the 50 free-
style and the 100 yard freestyle

Night—100 freestyle with a time of 47.81

Hampton Ultimate Club
by Tina Harper
The Hampton Ultimate Club
(HUC) began spring break by playing
in the Rivertown Throwdown tourna-
ment in Mason, OH (near Cincinnati).
Braving freezing temperatures, persis-
tent heavy rain, and windy conditions,
the team played seven games over two
days. HUC was ranked 10th en-
tering the tournament and broke
seed to finish ninth out of sixteen
participating teams from across
the Midwest. Head Coach Chris-
tie Lawry, in her 6th season with the team, says "The
team is young, but the season is young, too. We have
a big spring ahead of us. I'm excited." This early-
season tournament was in preparation for the competi-
tive Pittsburgh spring season as well as a trip to the
USA Ultimate Northeastern Regional Championships
this May 21-22 at Slippery Rock University.

to finish in the top 2 wrestlers in their age/weight brack-
et.
The boys were asked, "Other than qualifying for
states, what was the highlight of your season and what
is your goal for the remainder of the season?" Conner
Cummins (11-12 115lbs) commented, “The highlight of
my season was the championship match at the Burrell
Super trophy Tournament. I won the match and it was a
huge confidence booster.” The
response by Kaden Hoolahan (9-
10 105lbs) was, “One of the
most memorable moments of my
season was taking 1st Place at
the North Hills Tournament.”
Next, Nick Gorman (9-10 75lbs)
commented, “The highlight of
my season was at the Ambridge
Tournament where I wrestled
two separate age & weights
and beat an opponent I have nev-
er beaten before.”
Lastly, Conrad Harold (11-12
125lbs) responded, “The high-
light of my season is the im-
provement I have seen in my
wrestling from last season.”

ship. We wish all 4 wrestlers
good luck as they travel to the

Through this program, the AHA
provides teachers with many re-
sources such as newsletters, lesson
plans, educational materials, post-
ers, and videos. They also give
back to the schools by providing
gift certificates to the physical edu-
cation department for the purchase
of new equipment. Physical Edu-
cation teachers Mr. Thompson,
Ms. Jack, and Mrs. Serbin would
like to thank Kelly Wilding,
Hampton’s representative from the
AHA. Without her hard work,
assistance, and dedication to this
program, none of this would be
possible. A great effort put forth
by all the participating teachers
and students!

Back by Popular Demand… The Library Chess Tournament
by Gail Scott
T he Hampton Library held a chess tournament
on Sunday, March 6th at the Community Cen-
ter. Thirty-six children registered for the two
divisions of play.
The library hasn’t held a chess
tournament in over 5 years, so it was
nice to see chess return. The two
divisions of play were: Kindergarten-
4th grade and 5th- 8th grade. The win-
ners in the K-4 division were Justin
Dubee (1st place) and Andy Wu (2nd
place). In the 5-8 division, the win-
ners were Daniel Venture (1st place)
and Elijah Duckworth (2nd place).
The judge was Tom Due, who
was a volunteer. Tom paired every-
one up and kept the score of the
games. At the beginning of the tour-
nament, he explained that Swiss rules
would be used. Parents were not
allowed to stay in the room during
the tournament, allowing the children
to develop confidence in their skills
and not worry about what mom or
dad would have done. Library Direc-
Winners: Justin Dubee, Daniel Venture, Elijah Duckworth and Andy Wu
tor Suzanna Krispli commented, “The game gave the children an oppor-
tunity to play against someone of their skill level and to challenge their
own skills and knowledge of the game. It gave me great pleasure to see
both young boys and girls playing such a complicated game. It was also
the only time the library has ever hosted an event that has been so qui-
et!” The library plans to host the tournament again next year.

school kids at the library, educating people about, and signing them up for, organ donation
for CORE (Center for Organ Recovery and Education), leading a tots' program for the Cub
Scout Camp at Guyasuta, making blankets for a Pittsburgh Project after-school program, and
removing graffiti from local bike trails. The scouts who earned the awards are from Hampton
and Shaler.
The Bronze Award was awarded to 26 girls with 20+ volunteer hours each. Their pro-
jects included making dog blankets and cat toys for Animal Friends and decorating a floor of
the Ronald McDonald House.
The Bronze, Silver, and Gold awards are significant achievements, involving 20, 50,
and 80 hours of community service, respectively. The girls were responsible for choosing
who to help, how to help them, planning what to do, creating a team of adults to guide
them, carrying out the project. Finally, the scouts reported what they learned and how the
project helped the community. They also figured out how it will be sustainable in the fu-
ture. Girl Scout Regan Edgerton said, "This project let us work with new people and
helped us learn teamwork and leadership skills, which will help carry us through life. We
had fun completing this project and helping people in the community." Troop #50339 co-
leader Barbro Kelley commented, "These service projects teach the girls to think beyond
themselves and Hampton, to plan a project start to finish and take action to help others, to
find mentors and work with them, and to reflect on what they've done -- what went well,
what went wrong -- and what they can do in the future." The eight leaders of the troops are:
Marsha Turner, Barbro Kelley, Amy Bernett, Liz Perrone, Jen Colwell, Linda Hall, Amy
Valenty, and Karen Brienza.
Over 130 people attended the March ceremony, the largest number in at least 10 years.
Volunteers made goodies for desserts and refreshments for everyone to enjoy after the cere-
mony.
