On June 30 , twenty members of Boy
Scout Troop 17, based at Parkwood United
Presbyterian, embarked on the trip of a lifetime. They headed to Philmont, NM for two
weeks of backpacking in the Sangre de Cristo
Mountains. Philmont Scout Ranch is the largest of four High Adventure bases run by the
Boy Scouts of America, and offers a one-of-akind experience. Over ten days, two crews
from Troop 17 hiked more than 80 miles while
living out of their backpacks. In addition to the

munity Association and the Hampton
Township council along with township
manager Chris Lochner were on hand to
cut the blue and white ribbon surrounding
the play area. After the ceremony, a large
group of children raced to be among the
first to climb the ladders, slide down the
many slides, and play with the different
interactive areas of the playground. Parents
watched as their children had fun jumping

Bringing Buddy Home
by Gail Scott
Hampton News readers may remember
in last month’s issue a Sheltie dog named
Buddy, who was shown in a photo with the
word, “MISSING.” Happily, after a weeklong “adventure,” Buddy was reunited with
his family. The Raibles were on vacation in
Mexico when Buddy broke free from his
caregiver on June 29th in the Grandview Estates area. Once on the move, and he likely
tried to just go home but he got lost and a
massive search began to find him.
Once Eric Raible and his wife Maureen
found out about Buddy’s escape, they told

Oral Rabies
Vaccination Area
Cooperating Federal, State, and county
agencies are conducting an oral raccoon
rabies baiting project in western Pennsylvania. A vaccine packet is coated or
placed inside a fishmeal block which is
very tasty to raccoons.
The baits are
dropped from low-flying airplanes or helicopters, or by local teams on foot or in
vehicles. This year’s operation will run in
August—September 2016.
What if I find rabies baits?
Baits should be left alone—but intact baits
can be moved if they are found where
children and pets play. Damaged baits
should be bagged and disposed in the
trash.
Wear gloves or use a plastic bag when
picking up the baits.
Toss intact baits into a fencerow, woodlot,
ditch, or other raccoon habitat areas.
Wash your hands after any skin contact
with a damaged bait.
How One Stop at Revelation Health
Changed Victoria’s Life
The following is a testimonial from one of our loyal customers whose life changed after one stop at our store. We invite you
to visit Revelation Health so we can explain why we’re different
than any health food store you’ve visited. We get to the ROOT
source of health challenges and help guide you to natural solutions. We’re excited to meet you; come by soon!
“I have always considered myself to be a health conscience
person. Even as a child, I was always aware of moderation. It
seemed so common sense. I danced from childhood all the way
through undergrad and attended all kinds of exercise classes. I
even maintained my healthful habits while pregnant, only gaining 25 lbs with my daughters and 27 lbs with my son (who was a
9 + lb baby!). All of my children were larger babies and I contributed that to eating very healthful foods - or so I thought. I
was big on eating grains, often. My diet had lots of brown rice,
quinoa, couscous, and any new grain that popped up on my radar. I was blessed to have been able to stay home with my children for the first 16 years. I worked very part time and had the
luxury of spending time cooking and exercising while raising my
children.
Then, in 2009, my world changed drastically. I went
through a very difficult divorce and had to begin working fulltime, all the while raising my 3 children. I ate the exact same
way I always had, but now had 9 hours of stillness added to my
day while working at a computer, not to mention the long commute in a car each way. I still made time for the gym or yoga
classes, but I grew belly fat that I never had before. I just assumed that this is what age 52 was going to look like and that I
had to accept my aging body, fat and all. In 2015, I made some
big changes in my life by moving to the city of Pittsburgh. This
is where my story truly begins! I met Meredith, a health coach
at Revelation Health, through a women’s group, and noticed the
way she was eating in comparison to the other women in our
group at our weekly dinners. I mentioned to her that I had never known what it meant for people to have glowing skin, although I had heard that term before. Meredith’s skin glows. I
noticed she had healthy portions of food and no belly fat. I
talked to her a bit and she invited me to come to the Revelation
Health store. I soon visited the store and spent time getting a
beginner level education on a new way of eating, the Cellular
Healing Diet. I mentioned that I am a huge vegetable fan and
have always been, but in the past couple of years, started to
.
What if my pet eats a bait?
A few baits are not harmful, although eating a lot may cause vomiting or diarrhea.
Do not risk getting bitten by taking a bait
away from your pet.
Confine your pet for a couple of days, and
check the area for more baits.
If your pet eats a bait, avoid your pet’s
saliva for 24 hours, and wash skin or
wounds that may have been licked.
For information about the oral rabies bait(Continued on page 13)
have major bloating and gas as a result of eating raw vegetables. What I learned changed my life forever. It isn’t the vegetables that were the culprit, but my gut was not functioning
well. I learned about an excellent way of starting all over again,
with a bone broth fast and even a 30 day cellular cleanse - a
great way to support clean gut health and re-boot my system. I
purchased a variety of ingredients such as grass-fed collagen,
raw coconut oil, and MCT oil, to start my new healthy lifestyle. I also purchased the Core Cellular Healing package to
cleanse my system. A coach at the store also sent me videos in
order to learn how to cook, make healthful smoothies, and daily
recipes for living.
In 10 days time, my belly fat melted off. I remained diligent
to my yoga practice. I have never had as much energy as I do
now nor clarity in my thinking. I no longer have dips during the
day because I am feeding my brain and body with good fats, not
sugars and GMO grains. My sleep is now yummy and restful. I
did have bilateral shoulder pain which was diagnosed as beginning stages of arthritis, after all, I am 52 years old. Since eating this new way, I no longer have any pain in my shoulders or
anywhere in my body. I have not had one headache, with the
exception of my first day of living without sugar. I have no more
food cravings at all, and am excited to be on this daily learning
journey with a healthier gut. Anyone can have this same gift of
health. All you need to do is to plan a visit to Revelation Health
and listen, pay attention, and continue to read, watch and
learn. We don’t have to age with fat and pain. There is power
in ancient ways of eating. I chose to begin this new journey as a
commitment to myself and my health. Thank you Revelation
Health for changing my life!” Victoria Vitullo Baker

Long Time Hampton Business Woman
Succumbs to Breast Cancer
Linda J. (Wrono) Gehrling
November 4, 1951 – July 25, 2016
Linda J. (Wrono) Gehrling, age 64, of
West Deer Township, passed away on
Monday, July 25, 2016, after a courageous eight year battle against breast
cancer. Through it all, she remained a
woman of unwavering faith and steadfast joy, and was an inspiration to all
who knew her.
Linda owned The Greeting Gallery
Hallmark Card Store at Shopper’s Plaza
in Hampton Township. She was a devoted member of Parkwood United Presbyterian Church, where she served faithfully as an elder, deacon, and Sunday school teacher.
She is survived by her beloved husband, Charles P.
Gehrling; son, Michael Gehrling; son, John Gehrling, and his
wife, Jessica; grandson, Colton Gehrling; and step-mother,
Donna Wrono.
In addition to her parents, John Wrono and Roslynn
(Bernet) Wrono she was preceded in death by her sister, Patty
Hartzel.
Linda’s family welcomed friends on Thursday, July 28 th
and Friday, July 29th at King Funeral Home & Cremation
Services, Inc., 2841 Woodland Circle in Allison Park. The
Funeral service was held at Parkwood United Presbyterian
Church with Rev. Jeffrey Potter officiating. If desired, memorial donations may be made in Linda’s honor to the youth

Buddy
(Continued from page 1)
their kids, and the whole family jumped into action on social
media, posting and sharing information to get the word out.
The whole family was upset and wanted to go home, but
weren’t able to obtain an earlier flight. So, family members
and friends back home reassured them that the search for
Buddy was in great hands and to try and relax. Maureen got
daily updates on the search from her sister Colleen.
A Facebook group called "Reuniting Dogs with Families...Pittsburgh" also got involved. Tami, Cindy, Mary, and
Nancy are members of the group and they were instrumental
in finding Buddy. Tami and the ladies provided a plan on the
best approach for capturing Buddy. First, there was a flyer campaign, to get phone calls on Buddy sightings. Over a 4-day period, Buddy was spotted in the Bairdford Park area, and the multiple people who spotted him tried but were unsuccessful in capturing him. The Raibles returned from Mexico on Sunday, July 3 rd
and started searching immediately. They walked the woods and
miles of roads. They hung additional flyers and placed baited food
as well as old clothes with their scent to attract Buddy back to the
area.
Tami and Cindy from the "Reuniting Dogs" organization suggested setting a humane trap to catch Buddy as the best way to
capture him. They set a humane trap on July 4 th in Bairdford Park
because there were multiple sightings of Buddy in the park. They
put pieces of clothing with their scent and Buddy’s blanket in the
humane trap. The following day they received a phone call that a
dog was seen running in the Middle Road area of Hampton. Multiple calls came in from home owners on Monday and Tuesday in
the Cedar Run/Middle Road area that Buddy was seen in their
backyards. The humane trap was moved and set up in the homeowner’s backyard with rotisserie chicken in the trap. The homeowner was very helpful and allowed them to place the humane
trap on his property. Wednesday morning at 7:30 a.m. Maureen
took a turn at checking the humane traps and was overjoyed to see
Buddy in the trap. She remained calm and sat 10 feet from the
cage for 5 minutes without saying a word until Buddy felt comfortable with someone being there. Maureen called the family to
give them the great news and they called friends for help in taking
Buddy home.
Buddy re-adjusted very well and he slept a lot. Buddy is happy to be home with his family. He had a visit to the BellaCoop
veterinarian and the only issues found were some muscle tenderness, raw paws and an intestinal infection from something he ate
while he was gone. Buddy also had a makeover at the Doggie
Do’s Hair Salon on Route 910!
The Raible family is so thankful to the local community,
friends, family, and the ladies from “Reuniting Dogs with Families” for their support and dedication throughout this adventure to
find Buddy. They are also thankful to the numerous people who
they have not met but who spent their free time driving around in
search of Buddy. Eric Raible said, “As this event came to a happy
close, we sat back and reflected on how fast a community came
together in a short period of time to assist when help was needed.
This touched every family member to the core. This will be a lifelong memory and our calling to assist others when needed."

Here are some helpful tips to remember when a dog goes
missing. Courtesy from the volunteers at REUNITING DOGS
WITH FAMILIES…PITTSBURGH.
- Contact 911 and report a lost or found dog
· Lost Flyers are key in getting the word out. Place at major
intersections. Make it simple LOST/a Picture/a Phone #.
Make it big enough to see. Target a 3-mile circular section ASAP,
and expand from there.
· A dog after 48 hours missing will start to change. They are seeking security, food and water. In most cases they won’t even recognize their owner. Do not chase or push in the woods. You are now
a predator to them. They will continue to run.
· Scent is a powerful tool to dogs. Scent will remain in areas that
they frequent. Find old clothes that have your scent on them to
place in an area. Rain will not wash it away.
· Do not make eye contact. Turn away and throw food over your
shoulder. Make them feel comfortable with you.

Gravitte Earns Eagle Scout Award
by Diane Prem
Maxwell Gravitte from Troop 17, out of Parkwood United
Presbyterian Church on Mount Royal Boulevard, achieved the
rank of Eagle Scout – the highest rank a Boy Scout can earn.
He will be recognized at a Court of Honor Ceremony to be
held at St. Catherine of Sweden in late August.
Gravitte’s Eagle Scout Project was for “The Catechesis of
the Good Shepherd,” a religious education program at St.
Catherine of Sweden. The program uses a hands-on approach
to teach young children the Catholic Doctrine as well as scripture. To complement the teachings, Gravitte built wooden
models and dioramas of church equipment and of bible stories.
It took about three months to plan and build the project
where he learned more about woodworking as well as developed leadership skills. Due to a hand injury, it took nine more
months to finish the documentation and complete the Eagle
Playground
tasty blue and white cookies and cold bottled water.
The township is still waiting for some park benches to be
delivered along with a few last pieces of the playground structure
yet to be added. If you haven't seen the new playground yet, be
sure to go to the park and take a look at it this summer!
Later in the afternoon there was plenty of Independence Day
celebrations including a live rock band, free swimming, children’s games, inflatables and food. Festivities ended at dusk with
a spectacular firework display.

Board of Review. “I am glad I had the opportunity to lead a
project of my own. This project taught me leadership skills such
as planning a project, communication, and leading a group in
building my project. I will use these skills for the rest of my life:
in my career, relationships with
others, and my community,”
said Gravitte.
He would like to thank the
several teams of scouts that
helped with construction, sanding, and staining the pieces.
And a special “thank you” to St.
Catherine of Sweden for funding the project and to Audra
Brown, Deacon Cliff, and Father Steve for the opportunity to
lead this wonderful service project. He would also like to thank
his Project Coach Mr. Eberhardt for his guidance, and HP Starr
for the discount on building materials. Congratulations to Eagle

"Combing the wool prior to spinning the thread,
at the Depreciation Lands Museum."
The Depreciation Lands Museum, a living history village in Hampton Township,
will present a special Wool Dyeing Day on
Sunday, August 14th. Come and see the pioneers of Talley Cavey Village bring their
skeins of spun wool to be dyed at the Dyepot.
See the magic of Indigo as wool is dyed blue
for a new coverlet for the Armstrong family.
Later this fall the coverlet will be woven,
using a Colonial Overshot pattern on the
Barn Loom here at Talley Cavey.
18th century settlers, relying on natural
plant and animal based dyes had a lovely
color palette to choose from, albeit generally
less brilliant than the textile colors we see
today. The housewife had to be a dye alchemist along with her many other skills, to extract the wide variety of colors possible from
the materials at hand.
Our knowledgeable and skilled Dye women will share the secrets of the Dyepot. For
those curious souls -- young or old -- in addi-

hiking, various activities were offered,
such as rock climbing, shooting, spar
poling, and burro packing. The crews
also saw unique natural features including Baldy Mountain (12,441 ft) and the
Tooth of Time (9,003 ft), both of which
they summited.
The scouts returned with many stories to share. “My favorite memory… is
when we had our first ‘real’ (not rehydrated) meal,” said Jason Hunkele,
Hampton sophomore. He especially
enjoyed eating dessert on the Tooth of
Time “while looking at the view of a

Village, there will be

also challenging for all involved. Ethan
Knight, also a sophomore, was appreciative of how teamwork factored into the
trek, saying, “We all finished and helped
each other through it.”
Another local group, Troop 195,
from St. Catherine of Sweden, will be
on their Philmont trek during the last
week of August. “Philmont is the ultimate scouting experience,” said leader
Eric OKunewick before leaving for the
trek. Congratulations to all these Scouts
