Warm-Hearted Administrators Frozen Over

by Gail Scott

Hampton Township school su-

perintendent Dr. John Hoover was

showered in ice water along with

five of his administrators at the

Homecoming game at Fridley Field

on September 26th, to support the

ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Stu-

dents raised over $2000 as part of

the event.

Hampton High’s principal Dr.

Marguerite Imbarlina and her staff

challenged the high school students

to raise money for ALS. If they

raised $1000, then Dr. Imbarlina

and assistant principals Dr.

Stephen Pellathy and Mr.

Michael Amick would be

doused in ice water at the

football game. Dr. Hoover

and assistant superinten-

dent Mr. Jeff Finch agreed

to participate if $1500 was

donated. The icing on the

cake was when Hampton’s

athletic director Dr. Bill

A Terrific Time at Talbot Tailgate 2014 by Gail Scott

I t was perfect weather for the Talbot Tailgate on Friday,

September 26th and a record crowd of Hampton residents

showed up to enjoy the evening. There was a flurry of

blue and gold everywhere as people flocked to the tailgate.

There were food booths selling mouth-watering dishes from

homemade soups to pizza. I know I did my best to sample as

many different food items as I could! The varsity cheerleaders

were making fresh cotton candy. The wrestling team booth had

meatball hoagies for sale. The homemade cupcakes at the dance

team booth were yummy. All of the offerings were delicious!

Hampton organizations had booths open with games of all

kinds. The dunking tank sponsored by the high school boys’

baseball team was one of the busiest spots at the event. There

was a long line of students ready to take aim, hit the target and

drop the baseball player into the cold water with a big splash

and a load roar from the crowd. The temperatures were in the

high 70’s so I don’t think the boys minded taking a swim in the

cool water.

Hampton school clubs of all kinds sold candy, played

games, and entertained the crowd. The German, Latin, French,

Spanish, and Mandarin clubs were in attendance. The hockey

club and Ultimate Frisbee clubs had fun games for kids to play.

One club even offered the chance for attendees to have their

hair painted with blue and gold hairspray. There was a long line

at the photo booth as students tried on silly hats and big glasses

before getting their pictures taken at another club booth. Dog

contestants were walking around campaigning to get votes for

the honorary Talbot contest. Amazingly talented students per-

“Bond” Themed Band Festival Slated for Fridley Field

by Gail Scott

T he Hampton High School Marching Band is proud to

be hosting the Allegheny Valley Band Festival this

year at Fridley Field. This year marks the festival’s 30th

anniversary, and will take place on October 18th.

The high school bands set to perform at the festival are

Northgate, Riverview, North Hills, Shaler, Pine-Richland,

North Allegheny, and Hampton. The festival will begin at

7:00 pm, and the cost of tickets is $8 for adults and $4 for stu-

dents. Refreshments and candy grams will be available for

purchase. The Festival is sponsored by The Hampton Band

Parents Association, which is presided over by Jay Bedel.

Hampton’s band is made up of musicians, a dance team,

and a color guard. There are 204 students in the band, which is

approximately 20% of the high school student body. The

band’s show this year is titled "Bond!" and features selections

from James Bond movies through the years, including “For

Your Eyes Only”, “Skyfall”, and “Live and Let Die.” Drum

majors Wilson Leibering and Maura Kardasz lead their peers

on the field. The marching band is under the direction of Chad

Himmler along with assistant director Sean Desguin and per-

cussion instructor Gordon Nunn. Gabrielle Swaney coaches

the dance team, and Christina Novak and Gina Clapp instruct

the color guard. The Hampton High School Marching Band

will represent Pennsylvania in the National Memorial Day

Parade in Washington, D.C. next May.

The October AV Band Festival will offer free parking at

the Hampton High School, with continuous shuttle service to

Fridley Field available. For fastest access to the parking, festi-

val attendees are encouraged to use the McCully Road en-

trance to the high school. Handicapped parking and seating

will be available at the stadium. We hope everyone will come

out and support the Hampton Band and enjoy the festival!

Cardone agreed to be part of the fun if $2000 could be raised.

Students and high school staff donated money all week

and when it was totaled on Friday, over $2000 had been col-

lected. Before the Homecoming game began, students lined

up with six large buckets of ice water to pour on the heads of

Dr. Imbarlina, Dr. Pellathy, Mr. Amick, Dr. Hoover, Mr.

Finch, and lastly Mr. Cardone.

Dr. Hoover and Mr. Cardone

raised their hands in victory be-

fore the ice was poured on them

and everyone in the stands

cheered. Luckily it was a warm

night, because there was a lot of

ice in the buckets and everyone

got really wet. The administra-

tors were great sports and en-

joyed all the fun of the evening.

The event was a great success,

with a terrific amount of money

and awareness raised to support

ALS research.

Talbot Voting Goes to the Dogs by Gail Scott

T he Talbot Dog contest was a busy spot at the Talbot

Tailgate last month as people voted for their favorite

dog to become the next honorary Talbot. The top dog

was announced at halftime of the homecoming football game

against Knoch on Friday, September 26th. And the winner

was….Sadie! Sadie is part of the Cross family. She was en-

tered in the contest by her owner Emily Cross, a 7th grade

student at Hampton Middle School.

Students entered their dogs at Poff, Central, Wyland,

HMS, and HHS for a chance to be the Talbot. Money was

donated for each vote, and the top vote-getter at each school

advanced to the final round of the contest. Five dogs made it

to the final round at the Talbot Tailgate. Many of the dogs

were at the tailgate walking around in cute blue or gold shirts

and campaigning to get more votes. All the money raised will

be given to charity.

Sadie and her family were on the field at halftime of the

football game as her name was announced. She was wearing a

blue Talbot shirt. Sadie looked like a happy pup and she was

not even bothered by all the loud applause as she was award-

ed the name of “2014 Honorary Talbot Dog.”

Congratulations to Sadie and the Cross family!

On September 9th at 10:58 p.m., Police responded

to the intersection of Route 8 and Hardies Road for a

vehicle driving over the cones and onto the closed

southbound lanes on Route 8 through the construction

zone. At one point, a worker was almost struck as the

vehicle continued through the closed lanes. Police were

able to stop the vehicle and identify the driver. She was

found to be under the influence of alcohol and placed under arrest. Charges have been filed.

On September 9th at 1:30 a.m., Police observed a

vehicle stopped on Middle Road near Francis Drive.

Upon stopping to check on the driver, he drove away

north on Middle Road. As police followed the vehicle

with emergency lighting and siren, the vehicle went

through several stop signs and was reaching speeds

between 40 and 60 mph on Middle Road. Hampton

Officers, along with Northern Regional and West Deer

Police pursued said vehicle on multiple roads through

Hampton, Richland and West Deer. Northern Regional

Police used spike strips to bring the vehicle to a stop at the intersection of Bakerstown/Heckert Road. The actor

was placed under arrest for DUI and fleeing the police.

On September 17th shortly after midnight, Police

were monitoring traffic in the construction zone at

Route 8 and Hardies Road. A vehicle came off of E.

however, the vehicle continued northbound without stopping. It was a

black Chrysler Sebring, being operated by a white male. The suspect vehi-

cle had damage to the front end.



Young Gymnastics Program Gaining Momentum in Hampton

by Lainy Carslaw

T he Hampton gymnastics team is

getting ready to start training for

its second season this November.

They had ten participants last year,

and have added a few more gymnasts to

their roster including freshman twins

Mariah and Maura Oliver, Mary Kerr,

and level 9 national competitor Rachel

Hornung.

The team will be led by Juniors Me-

gan Donnelley and level 10 gymnast Ali

Sullivan, both of whom have been doing

gymnastics at Jewart's for more than ten

years. Donnelley and Hampton sopho-

more Vanessa Pletz helped win the state

title at the Diamond level for the Pitts-

burgh Northstars last year.

Last season the team was coached by

former nationally ranked gymnast Kin-

sey Basko. Basko got the team off to a

solid start, but currently the head coach-

ing job for the Hampton gymnastics team

is still open.

Despite being a new team, Hampton

was able to place 5th at the WPIAL com-

petition last year and hope to better that

finish this season.

"For just starting out, I thought the

Hampton girls did a great job last year!

Now that they have a little more

knowledge and experience, they should

do even better this year," said Basko.

Talbot Tailgate

formed on stage for the crowd.

The tailgate action started to

slow as everyone made their way to

Fridley Field to watch our football

team take on Knoch. The ALS Ice

Bucket Challenge took place on the

sideline before the game began. Our

wonderful band entertained the

crowd with their show “Bond!” The

students in the stands dressed in

camoflauge as part of “Spirit Week”

and really looked like they were hav-

ing a good time. The halftime show

was action packed with the crowning

of the Homecoming King and Queen

and also the honorary Talbot dog.

For many, the best part of the night

was when the Talbot football team

beat the Knoch Knights in a wonder-

ful victory.

If you missed the tailgate this

year, make a point to attend next

time. It is so much fun. You’ll be

sorry if you miss it!

St. Ursula Middle School Goes for the Chrome!

The beginning of a new school year is always exciting,

and the 7th and 8th grade students at St. Ursula School take it

up a notch thanks to the new tech hardware made available

through Act 195 and additional funds bringing $4,500 of

Samsung Chromebooks into the school –one for each stu-

dent’s use this year. The personal use of the Chromebook is a

way to empower students to maximize their full potential and

to prepare them for high school and college. The students

and teachers are discovering together the benefits of working

with a Chromebook. Dynamic interaction among students,

educators, parents and the extended community is the obvi-

ous benefit, but learning responsibility is another as they are

entrusted to take it home and to school each day fully

charged and ready to go. Effective teaching and learning

with Chromebooks integrates technology into the curriculum

anytime, anyplace. “This is a measurable boost to the curric-

ulum because it allows teachers and students access to docu-

ments, videos, experiments, and textbooks on line,” says

Sister M. Joanita Fedor, principal. Science Fusion is a source

for the science classes and a new social studies program will

offer interactive lessons. Other programs that have been uti-

lized at St. Ursula School for years: Criterion Writing pro-

gram, ALEKS - an individualized math program, and First In

Math have a new life with use of the Chromebook. “And

there are educational games that will get the students excited

about learning and pursuing other topics in the subjects. Kids

learn through games,” Sister adds. The parents received de-

tailed instructions of use and care and guidelines at the Sep-

tember Meet the Teachers Night. The students read the

handbook and received verbal instructions, then were as-

signed a Chromebook to use for the 2014-15 school year.

Mrs. Charlotte Lehmeier, Middle School teacher, leads a

lesson on Google docs with a group of 7th and 8th graders.

English ‘Striking’ Out Hunger by Diane Prem

On September 23rd State Representative Hal Eng-

lish, representing the 30th Legislative District in the

Pennsylvania House of Representatives, donned a

softball uniform and hit the field with dozens of

House and Senate colleagues to participate in the

friendly Capitol All-Stars Charity Softball Game.

With 72 players, the game pitted the “Yinz” team

from Western Pennsylvania against the “Youse” team

from the East, unifying Democrats and Republicans.

The game was broadcast live on PCN from Metro

Bank Park in Harrisburg. English was on the winning

“Yinz” team with a victory of 17 to 8, hit a single and

scored the winning run.

The real winner from the game is Hungry PA, a

network of food banks across the Commonwealth that

includes the North Hills Community Outreach. Last year, proceeds from

the game raised more than $62,000. This year an estimated $65,000 was

raised.

“The game was an extraordinary display of bipartisanship to ‘strike

out’ hunger in Pennsylvania. An estimated one in seven Pennsylvanians

suffers from hunger, and hundreds of thousands of our state’s residents

rely on local food banks and charitable organizations to help feed their

families. Many thanks to everyone who made this year’s game a suc-

cess,” said English. Both the House and Senate unanimously voted to

designate September as Hunger Action Month.
