HMS Well Represented at Annual Battery Car Race

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.

trict is seeking nominations

letes must be a graduate of at least five

gram either as a player, coach or admin-

istrator.

Nominations for the 2016 Hall of

Fame must be submitted no later than

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.”

All four wrestlers said their

goal is to win states and stand on

the podium at the champion-

ship. We wish all 4 wrestlers

good luck as they travel to the

State Championship in Erie.

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.

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.
