Counterfeit Drugs:
10 years in Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts
Snags Second Title
A Growing Problem
By Will Strome
On Saturday June 3rd, Hampton
ended the party before it even began. On Fox Chapel’s prom night
the Talbots (16-4) captured their
second Division II lacrosse championship in the last four years in a 9-8
overtime victory against divisional
foe, the Fox Chapel Foxes (10-8).
The Talbots trailed for most of the
first half until scoring a few late
goals to take a 5-4 lead at the half.
After exchanging goals in the second half Hampton began to pull
away and take an 8-6 advantage.
But the Foxes came back and knotted the game at 8-8 to send it into
overtime.
This seemed all too familiar for the
Talbots and Head Coach Dan Shea.
They’d been here before. In 2003
the Talbots defeated Quaker Valley
14-13 in overtime to earn their first
division title.
“In overtime I knew we had to win
that face-off,” said Coach Shea.
“Fox Chapel has some lethal shooters and the last thing we wanted to
do was give them the opportunity to
fire a few shots.”

The occurrence of counterfeit drugs in the
United States has been relatively isolated. However, these types of crimes have been increasing
in number over the last few years.
In a study conducted in September 2003, 1,153
imported drugs were checked by FDA and Customs agents, and 1,019 were found to be illegal.
Two weeks ago, on 20/20, a story was run highlighting the growing problem of fake drugs. An
investigation in China showed that drugs like
Advil and Viagra, as well as many others, are
being produced illegally. The counterfeiters are
skilled at making these drugs look like the real Resident Eric Raible and daughter
thing by painting them and recreating the boxes Meghan enjoy a ride together on
in which they are shipped. According to the Hampton day at Kennywood Park
report, there is a “big big market” for this type of

$600,000 Raised for Autism Research
H
By Roberta Schwartzbach
einz Field was buzzing on Saturday, June 3. No
it’s not football season yet. Instead over 9,500
people converged on the area for the annual NAAR
walk (National Alliance for Autism Research). Now known
as Autism Speaks, this group has been holding their fundraising event for seven years and has witnessed the walk
grow in size every year. The inaugural event was organized
by a Hampton resident, Renee Georgi. The walk is now held
internationally, with events also held in Canada and the
United Kingdom. This year, Senator Rick Santorum was
present to discuss his Combating Autism Act which calls for
an additional $167 million to be directed toward autism research. He also participated in the ribbon cutting ceremony
(please see picture). So far, the Pittsburgh walk has raised
over $600,000. That number is expected to rise as donations
from three satellite events held in Wheeling, Altoona and
Laurel Highlands continue to pour in. All in all, the expectation is for over $700,000 to be raised for research purposes
The story of NAAR begins with the London family and their
son, Zachary, who was diagnosed with autism when he was
twenty two months old. Karen and Eric, Zachary’s parents,
were amazed and frustrated to find that there were no nonprofit groups in the country dedicated to autism research.
National Alliance for Autism Research was incorporated in
1994. Autism Speaks was launched in February 2005 when
another family encountered autism in their midst. Autism
Speaks joined forces with NAAR in February 2006 to battle
against autism. They share one goal…to change the future
for all who struggle with autism spectrum disorders. Autism
now affects 1 in 166 children in the United States, up more
than ten times from just 10 years ago. Three children are
diagnosed every hour.
A local family, Kim and John Fiore have three children- one
of which is autistic. Their teenager, Johnny was diagnosed

several years ago. This is the 5th year that the team “Johnny’s Angels”
has participated in this event. This year, they broke all previous records
and had 114 team members, many from the Hampton community. So far,
the team has raised an amazing $23,053. Kim Fiore played a large role in
the publicity for the event this year, with TV and radio ads. Three Hampton Schools, (Poff, Wyland, and the High School) also participated this
year in Autism Awareness Week.

What about those new natural
cures for mental health?
By Dr Howard Rosenthal
One of the most common questions I am asked is
whether natural remedies for mental health really
exist. Let me begin by saying that I could fill an
entire text with information about this exciting topic. Hmm,
maybe one day I will.
Before I share any information with you, I must insist that you
check with your physician or psychiatrist – you know, the guys
and gals with MDs or DOs after their name – since natural treatments can interact with prescription medicinals. In addition,
these substances can have side effects, although in general the
undesirable effects would not be as common as those associated
with prescription drugs.
A lot of folks erroneously believe that the natural mental health
movement was spawned by a bunch of health nut hippies in the
1960s sitting at the corner of Haight & Ashbury munching on
carrot sticks and kale. In reality, nothing could be farther from
the truth.
Natural mental health, originally dubbed as orthomolecular psychiatry (don’t worry nobody is ever going to ask you to spell it),
was popularized by the world famous biochemist Linus Pauling
who began the vitamin C craze and the only man on the face of
the planet to snare two unshared Nobel Prizes – 1954 for chemistry and 1962 for the Nobel Peace Prize. Pauling, along with
psychiatrists Humphrey Osmond and Abram Hoffer, discovered
that persons with severe emotional issues often had extremely
low levels of nutrients. Thus, a guy who thought he was Napoleon might come to the conclusion that he was really Joe Smith
if you gave him several hundred times the B-vitamins (usually
B3 or niacin) that the average person would consume. Because
of this, the trend was became known as “mega-vitamin therapy”
which was also the title of a popular book in the early 70s.
Here is a brief vest pocket list of some of the more popular nonprescription treatments.
St. John’s Wort Wort (not wart for gosh sakes) is old English
for plant. A ton of studies have revealed that St. John’s Wort is
often an effective treatment for mild – not severe – depression.
In Germany where alterative treatments are not so alternative St.
John’s Wort is prescribed much more often than Prozac! The
Lancet, the British Medical Journal, conducted meta-research
and found that St. John’s Wort, is an excellent choice for a first
line of defense for treating clinical depression. Like some prescription medicines, it can cause problems due to extreme sun
exposure and is contraindicated for some transplant patients and
persons taking certain AIDS medicines. Ask your doctor.
SAMe Enunciated Sammy, SAMe is often used for more severe
depression and is touted as an excellent supplement for arthritis
sufferers.
Ultra-refined pharmaceutical grade fish oil For years mental
health workers have heard rumors that folks living in fishing
towns suffered from less depression and their kids were rarely
plagued with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
We know now that fish oil or fish body oil has a class of fats
called Omega-3s that fight depression, build immunity, help
keep our hearts and skin healthy, boost brain functioning, and
even assist us to annihilate unwanted fat. (Yes, you read it correctly, a fat that fights fat) For those of you who are patting

t’s probably no surprise that broccoli has the reputation of being a
healthy, nutritious vegetable, but it may be better for you than you
think.
Broccoli, a cruciferous vegetable, (others include: cauliflower, cabbage, Brussel sprouts, kale, and mustard, turnip and collard greens) is
loaded with phytochemicals which are proven to have anti-cancer effects.
Only cruciferous vegetables have been linked to lowering your risk for
lung cancer. In addition, broccoli can reduce the risk of breast, prostate, cervical, stomach, esophagus, pancreas, and colon cancers. In
addition it can help the body fight and eliminate abnormal cells such as
leukemia and melanoma cells.
If this isn’t enough, broccoli is also associated with reducing the risk of
cardiovascular disease, cataracts, strokes, and birth defects in unborn
children.
Ounce for ounce, broccoli has more vitamin C than an orange and as
much calcium as a glass of milk; more 3 times the fiber in one spear of
broccoli than a slice of wheat bran bread.
If you truly don’t care for broccoli, keep in mind that all the cruciferous
vegetables contain similar nutrients and exhibit the same healthy benefits that broccoli does. And tender young broccoli sprouts, possess 10
to 100 times more phytochemicals than broccoli itself.

Local Church Celebrates 40 Years
Often, a fortieth birthday humorously evokes the sentiment of being “over the hill”. Allison Park Church
isn’t “over the hill”, but rather “up on the hill”… along Duncan Avenue in Hampton Township… and the
congregation marks 40 years in ministry this July 16th.
The church was birthed in 1966, with a small group of people meeting at a fire hall. The congregation
grew and met at 2201 Duncan Avenue until 1979, when a larger facility was built at the current location of
2326 Duncan Avenue. The church expanded the campus last fall to accommodate a new, larger sanctuary,
concourse and increased parking area. The prominent facility, up on the hill, hosted several large events
for the community this past year, including Fall Fest, a New Year’s Eve Bash and a giant Easter Egg Hunt,
and the 2nd floor Prayer Chapel is a site of 24/7 prayer for the congregation and community. In addition to
being active in the North Hills community, the church has planted six new congregations in Cranberry,
Ambridge, Sharpsburg, West View, Bloomfield and Lawrenceville.
Allison Park Church will celebrate the 40 year milestone the weekend of July 15th and 16th, with special
activities, a picnic at North Park, and guest speaker, Rev. D. Ronald Bailey, the congregation’s first pastor.
More information about this special event, as well as other venues, is available at their website,

Hampton Day at Kennywood Park
Orientation for new Hampton Middle School students will
be held on Thursday, August 24 from 9-11 AM. No transportation will be provided by the school district. This is an
opportunity for students to walk through an abbreviated
school day, follow their schedule, and get a chance to meet
teachers and become familiar with the school layout.
Poff Nature Trail
(Continued from page 1)
and was beginning to work toward his
Eagle Scout Badge. In order to achieve
this goal, Kevin had to come up with an
idea that would benefit the community and
put that plan into action. Brainstorming
with his dad, Greg Holesh, an employee
for the DEP, Kevin decided to create a
nature trail at Poff. At the time, there was
simply a wooded lot that was dominated
by many plant species, making it overgrown and difficult to navigate through.
Kevin’s first step was to receive approval
from Poff Principal, Dr. Michael Mooney.
Once approval was obtained in April
2005, grant applications were written for
materials. Kevin received support from
several local businesses and organizations
such as Home Depot, PPG, and HAEE.
The planning and implementing process
also began.
Kevin took a very methodical approach to
the time consuming task. He cleared a
rough path for the trail first and then with
approval, widened the trail and placed trail
markers throughout. He then removed
some plants and replaced them with
“natural alternatives.” Kevin and his dad
planted 520 different trees including dogwoods, maples, oaks, sycamores, and
many others. Two classrooms were constructed, consisting of benches than convert into tables. Topsoil was added as
well as a signs throughout the trail.
The upper trial takes hikers through both
deciduous and coniferous woodlands
while the lower trail, which leads to a
flowing stream, allows for water sampling
and analysis.
Kevin estimates that he put in approximately 180 hours on this project. He did
receive support from other Boy Scouts
during a Project Day, but the majority of
the labor was completed by Kevin and his
dad. Once accomplished, Kevin’s project
was judged by three scout leaders from the
Pittsburgh area. Along with a presentation, Kevin was also questioned at length
about the project as well as his goals in
life. Kevin’s determination and stamina
paid off. He was awarded the Eagle Scout
Badge on August 2004.
Today, students from Poff use this nature
trail as an outdoor classroom. Several
educational goals were outlined by Kevin,
including learning about water quality,
decomposition, ecosystems, and biodiver7
sity. Students can also identify animal
tracks with the help of an “animal tracking
box”. It is safe to say that this trail,
though less than two years old, has been
enjoyed by many families and students.

Trinity Gymnastics Car-B-Que
Saturday, June 17th was a beautiful day, where local gymnasts,
coaches and parents from Trinity Gymnastics volunteered their
time to help raise money for Claire Senita, a local gymnast that had
been injured. Spirits were high as well as the money raised; over
$750, all proceeds will benefit Claire and her family. The day itself was a success. The older gymnasts and coaches washed 76
cars and the younger gymnasts sold snowcones to anyone that
needed to cool down. The gym owner and his brothers manned the
grill, where they served up some of the best grilled chicken and
hamburgers around. The rest of the coaches and staff dished out
all the sides to make a complete meal. We all met some great people we have in our community. Along with the donations from the
car wash, and the money raised from the meals served, there were
also raffles to enter in a Chinese auction. Thanks again to the local

Balouris Leaves her Mark at the Middle School
Elaina Balouris, a former 8th grader at Hampton Middle School had
quite a successful run this year for the track team. Elaina set two
records for Hampton, breaking the record for both 1 mile (5:32)
and 2 mile (12:07). At the middle school level, the students compete in dual meets as well as three invitationals which include several schools. Elaina set the record for 1 mile at the North Allegheny Invitational and the 2 mile at Butler.
Elaina ran her first race, the Hampton HAEE 5K, six years ago.
She enjoyed it and did well and “just kept running.” She enjoys
running with her dad in the evenings and likes the running track at
North Park Lake. She is currently training for the cross country
season, her favorite sport. She knows that the competition will be
stiffer this year as she will be competing against athletes four years
older than she. But Elaina obviously loves competition and is
looking forward to the challenge. Congratulations to Elaina for a
record breaking season and good luck this year!

Hampton Lacrosse
(Continued from page 1)
Coach Shea, who has a 90-55 career record over eight seasons
at Hampton, was exactly right. Thanks to senior midfielder Dan
Perestock who won the face-off, the Talbots maintained possession in the offensive zone. Hampton ripped a shot but it was
saved by the Foxes junior goalie Nick Engelhardt. This would
be the last save Nick would make during the 2006 season.
Fox Chapel held the ball in Talbot Territory but was unable to
score and lead to another potential scoring opportunity for
Hampton. From there the Talbots put the final icing on the cake
when senior attackman Harry Reid scored past a screened Fox
Chapel goalie who never saw it coming.
“I didn’t even see the shot, I just saw the net move,” said senior
midfielder Matt Brode who ended up with one goal and two
assists. “Once that net moved I threw my pads in the air and ran
on the field knowing we were the champs.”
The Talbots now have the opportunity to bump
up to Division I and play among the greater Pittsburgh areas elite teams. During the regular season the team played a total of five Division I
games against Trinity (7-5), Pine Richland (127), Central Catholic (5-11), Bethel Park (10-9),
and Seneca Valley (7-16). With a record of 3-2
against Division I schools the Talbots have
proven they can play with some of the league’s
best.
“The difference between Division I and Division
II is huge,” said Coach Shea. “If you move up or
down a division you must stay there for two
years. If we decide to move up it will be a big
step for lacrosse in Hampton.”
“If we do stay in Division II for another year, I
believe it’ll be between us and Fox Chapel once
again,” commented Coach Shea.

What Happens If I Die Without a Will?
An Important Issue for those without a plan
(Continued from page 4)
food fish sandwich or your freezer has a pack of
those famous fish sticks . . . well I’m sorry to bust
your bubble, but commercial fish products like these
often have the beneficial omega 3’s removed so they
won’t taste . . . well . . . too fishy! Since fish oil can
thin your blood seek medical advice before ingesting
fish oils. Barry Sears, who created the well-know
Zone Diet, is adamant that supplementing with high
grade fish oil is one of the biggest scientific breakthroughs in years. Some research indicates that
Omega-3’s can help people suffering from bi-polar
disorder even if they are already taking prescription
treatments. Supplementation is used in research
studies instead of eating fish to control dosages and
allow the person a much higher intake without the
worries of mercury poisoning.
Lithium When most people think of lithium they
visualize a prescription medicine and rightly so.
Between 1948 and 1949 an Australian psychiatrist,
Dr. John Cade, discovered that lithium salts could
help control mania. Today, doctors often prescribe
lithium for depression or for bi-polar disorder
(formerly termed manic-depression). Blood tests are
required because prescription lithium can have serious side effects that impact the thyroid and kidneys.
Nevertheless, some experts insist that we all need
very small dosages of this trace mineral (i.e., in parts
per million or PPM). According to the new theory,
we get our lithium from plants and the water supply.
Unfortunately, even if you ate the perfect diet (and
who does?) the soil has been depleted of lithium for
years and thus you would still be deficient. Hence,
some people have begun ingesting lithium supplements readily available at health food stores. Sometimes these are colloidal or ionic plant supplements,
in the form of a liquid. For those who think this theory outlandish, you will be surprised to know that
some research indicates higher suicide and homicide
rates in areas where the water supply lacks lithium!
Stay tuned, this is going to get interesting!
Sunlight Yes sunlight, it’s free. There is even a recognized form of depression called SAD or seasonal
affective disorder that is caused by a lack of sunlight.
For those who can’t catch enough rays full-spectrum
light bulbs and phototherapy devices are available.
Also, some exciting new research shows that vitamin
D from the sun is not a vitamin after-all, but actually
a hormone that can influence immunity and one’s
emotional state. Vitamin D supplements are indeed
available at health food stores. In the US Milk has
been supplemented with vitamin D to prevent rickets, however, milk is an unreliable source that may
be too weak to help those who need more of this vital
nutrient. This, needless to say, has created a heated
debate about whether the use of too much sunscreen
might just be harmful. Hey, don’t look at me I don’t
have the definitive answer on this one yet!
So see your doctor and don’t forget to take your vitamins!

by Attorney Michael Angelo Maccagnan
A Will is an instrument that tells the world who should get
your assets when you are gone. If you die without one, the
laws of the State dictate who gets those assets, despite your
wishes. A Will ensures that your heirs will receive the share of
your estate according to your final plan. It can also diminish the delay, costs and
expenses that can accrue if you die without a Will, which is referred to as
“intestacy.” When this happens, the court appoints a personal representative to
your estate. The personal representative then pays all outstanding debts and
expenses associated with the distribution of your assets and then dispenses of the
rest according to the intestate laws.
Intestate Succession –
How assets are divided without a Will by the State.
The laws of each state are specific regarding the division of property when a
person dies without a Will. Most states designate a spouse’s share - a portion of
the estate that will automatically devolve to the surviving partner. In Pennsylvania, the law provides a spouse to receive a share of the estate based on if the
decedent has living children or parents. The surviving spouse could receive onehalf to the full estate. (See Figure 1) Other family members - children, grandchildren, and other blood relatives - are provided for in varying degrees based
upon how closely they were related to the decedent.
In the absence of a valid Will, the estate of a person without one is divided
among what is deemed to be the “natural bounty of his affections,” despite the
decedent’s feelings as to whether that person should inherit from their estate.
All of the disadvantages of intestacy related to the inability to add provisions
beyond the State’s default plan, can be overcome by making a will. Therefore,
protect yourself and your loved ones by making your inheritance wishes
known by executing a legal Will.

that the medication has a lot number which can be traced to determine where and how it was manufactured.
The US Food and Drug Administration recommends buying
only from US state-licensed pharmacies. In this way, the FDA
can track the medication and ensure the safety of consumers. If
you must purchase prescriptions over the internet, make sure that
the site has the seal of Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites

A list of legitimate pharmacies can be viewed at

of mail- in prescriptions. Many health care plans require mailin prescriptions for maintenance medication. There is no way
to know where these drugs are manufactured, what goes inside
them, who is filling them, etc. And there is no one for consumers to turn to if they have any questions. In addition, those who
use mail order lose the face to face contact with a trusted individual. Years ago, the pharmacist was voted the most trusted
professional in the country, beating out even priests. Today, the
presence of chain pharmacies has cut into that trust because
there is often a different face every day.
Mr. Khoury is committed to making sure
that the personal touch is still available at
his local pharmacy. Consumers have a difficult time reading prescriptions written by
doctors. A pharmacist will take the time to
read it, explain it and make sure that it will
be safe. As Americans continue to take
more and more medications and medications become more complicated the possibility of mixing certain meds can lead to
disastrous situations. Mr. Khoury offers
these words of advice: “If it sounds too
good to be true, it is. You must talk with a
pharmacist face to face, being in any questionable medications and learn to trust your
pharmacist for your well being.” Buying
from a state licensed pharmacy also ensures
