magine, being a
child and homeless
for the holidays. In
the current economic
situation, more and more
local families have
found themselves in the
streets.
Students and staff at
Poff Elementary School
and the Hampton High
School Interact Club
held a toy drive and collected 250 brand new
toys for children of all
ages.
According
to
Marilyn Adams, a second grade teacher at
Poff, the second grade
class took this on as a
project.
They made
posters and gathered
toys from the school‟s
collection boxes. But
there were life lessons

people that are less fortunate, realizing the

On Friday, December 16, two Hampton
students received the best Christmas gift ever.
Their dad, Army Col. John Ference, returned
home early from Afghanistan and surprised
each of his sons at their respective schools John at Hampton Middle and Christopher at
Central Elementary – just in time for Christmas.
As several TV stations and newspapers
set up in John‟s study hall classroom, the students were told the media was there to admire

A Holiday Extravaganza
T
by Diane Prem
he Hampton Middle School halls
bustled with excitement and a
scurry of elves in preparation for
the Hampton Band‟s First Annual Holiday Extravaganza held on Saturday,
December 10th. Volunteers baked and
sold over 2,500 cookies for the Cookie
Walk, 40 vendors peddled their festive
wares, while the Band Dad‟s Christmas
Café provided holiday cheer and snacks.
“I came here as a jewelry vendor and
band parent, but found many wonderful,
creative gifts for my holiday list!” exclaimed Danette Frederick.
Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus held court
in the cafeteria amid holiday music from
the Hampton School Bands while over
200 children enjoyed sundaes, face
painting and crafts. “The kids are so
cute, and they are having lots of fun,”
said two Santa elves, Emily Johnston
and Autumn Hunkele. “I came for the
Sundaes with Santa and really enjoyed
it,” said Addie Klocko, age 7. Her
mother Carole added, “It was a wonderful event, and we loved the music. I
wish I could call all my friends and tell
them to come. They did a fabulous job,
and we‟ll be back again next year!”
All proceeds benefit the Elementary, Middle and High School Bands.
Thanks to the many volunteers who
made this day possible, to Kathy Stadler
for coordinating the Holiday Extravaganza, to Papermart for donating the
balloons and to McTighes for loaning
the Christmas trees and poinsettias.
“The Holiday Extravaganza made me
proud to be a band parent and proud to
be a member of a vibrant community
with a superb school district and great
people who make
it that way!” concluded
Anne
Flanagan.

yle Ganzer, age 24 and a member of the Airborne Infantry serving in Afghanistan, wounded in the line of duty,

thought of the quilt, Ganzer responded, “I was so shocked and
couldn‟t believe that someone would show that kind of appreciation”.

Al’s Bike Drive a
Huge Success!
by Autumn Edmiston
For Al Todd, founder of Al‟s
Bike Drive, Christmas came early and
the generosity of others helped make
Christmas special for 200 children
served by the Marine Toys for Tots
program in Allegheny, West Moreland, Beaver and Butler counties.
The fourth annual Bike Drive
saw a 20% increase in donations,
bought 200 bikes and raised $14,000.
On December 15th, 2011,
a group of volunteers
transported 200 bicycles
from the Toys R Us in
Ross Township to the
Sheraton in Station
Square to present to two
groups of Marines.
Al wishes to “thank
the generous funding
from Thrivent Financial
and sponsorship of
NAIFA Pittsburgh. I
want to express my
heartfelt thanks to
my family, friends
and colleagues who
make the program
possible. Beth Askews and her team
from Toys R‟ Us in Ross Township did a wonderful job in assembling the bikes. Your generosity
has made a difference in the lives of many children
this Christmas season!”

Police Log
ported to UPMC Passavant for a chemical test. While conducting the vehicle impound inventory, police found a large
amount of suspected marijuana as well as a scale and packaging material.
On Sunday, November 27, 2011, while patrolling at
approximately 1:50 a.m., Hampton Police observed a vehicle
traveling north on Route 8 in excess of the 40 MPH posted
speed limit and failing to maintain a single lane of travel
while in the passing lane. The vehicle then made a left turn
onto South Pioneer Road and the majority of the vehicle was
in the oncoming lane of travel. As police followed the vehicle on South Pioneer Road, it failed to maintain a single lane
of travel. Police conducted a traffic stop, approached the
operator and immediately detected an odor of an alcoholic
beverage. The operator had glassy eyes and speech was
slurred and he was confused at times in an effort to search
for his words. He did state that he had been drinking. Police
had actor perform several field sobriety tests. Based on the
totality of the circumstances the actor was taken into custody. Charges pending.
On Wednesday, November 30, 2011 at 2:40 a.m.,
Hampton Police conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle for an
expired registration. Police followed the vehicle from West
Hardies Road onto North Pioneer Road and into the parking
lot of Eat N Park. While speaking to the operator, police
observed several indicators that he was under the influence
of alcohol and/or a controlled substance. He submitted to a
PBT which came back positive for alcohol. The driver then
failed Field Sobriety Tests and was placed under arrest for
suspicion of DUI. Charges to follow.
Chef’s Corner
Your Weekly dose of Omega-3
is in your Grocer’s Seafood Section
by John Rizzo
O
ne of the very best sources for natural Omega-3 fatty acid
is swimming upstream at the local Shop „n Save.
Whether it‟s fresh or frozen, the amount of Omega-3 in
salmon is almost unparalleled by all other seafood. Research
shows that eating fish rich in Omega-3 twice a week will significantly increase its presence in the body.
Most salmon that is available in this area is either Atlantic or
Pacific salmon. Atlantic salmon, the only species found in the Atlantic Ocean, is of very high quality and is very common in this
area. When I first started working in restaurants in the late 70‟s
Norwegian salmon was the staple in the high end establishments.
This is the same species as the local Atlantic salmon, although it is
raised in the icy cold waters of Norway. As its popularity continued to grow so did the price; therefore the local farm raised Atlantic salmon flooded the market at a much more reasonable cost.
The difference in my opinion was discernable.
Pacific salmon, including king, sockeye (deep red), coho, and
chum are all of good quality and are often available in our region.
The king and sockeye salmon are the fattier of these species and
contain more Omega-3 fatty acids than the others.
Benefits of Omega-3:
 Provides anti-inflammatory effects on our joints and improves
blood flow.
 Prevention of coronary heart disease by lowering your triglycerides and LDL, or bad cholesterol, which can cling to your artery
walls and eventually slow or stop blood flow to your heart.
 Helps prevent cancer cell growth.
 Prostaglandin Production (Prostaglandin helps regulate many
important physiological functions including blood pressure, blood
clotting, nerve transmission).
 In addition to fighting heart disease, Omega-3 fatty acids can aid
in the fight against diabetes, asthma, arthritis, multiple sclerosis,
hypertension, migraine headaches, dementia and Alzheimer's
disease, macular degeneration, and kidney disease.

set aside; refrigerate until needed.
Meanwhile, pour the oil onto a plate and add the salt, pepper and
paprika. Coat each salmon fillet, top and bottom, with the oil mixture. (If the salmon has skin; leave it on.) Preheat your grill to medium. (Can also be cooked in the oven or broiler at 425° F.) Lay the
salmon, skin side up, on the grill rack and cook for about 5 minutes or
until the flesh begins to set. Baste the top with leftover oil mixture and
gently run a spatula underneath and turn the fish. Cook on the other
side for an additional 5 minutes; baste the top again and turn the fish
back over. Continue cooking until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 135° – 145° F. Serve salmon on a hot plate and drizzle
with Wasabi Sauce.

One Night in Bethlehem
by Autumn Edmiston
The Social Hall of St. Catherine was
transformed into the town of Bethlehem
with shops and stalls. In this fair-like atmosphere, children and their families participated in crafts, games and storytelling.
The Bethlehem cookie walk allowed families to get a head start on their holiday
baking by purchasing cookie tins and filling them with an assortment of cookies.
Susan Kingerski, a parishioner, presented the idea for the Night in Bethlehem
three years ago and a host of volunteers
gather each year to pull the event together.
Many cast members for the live nativity are junior and senior high students who
interact with young children throughout
the town of Bethlehem before going outside to participate in living Nativity. The
bell choir, a stable structure, live animals
and cast set the scene as Father Regis narrates the Story of Christmas. The sheep, is
untouchable in the pasture on the Dunn
farm, yet stands quietly while a hundred
children surround and pat her at the manger – a Christmas miracle!!
Fittingly enough, donations of baby
items are collected during the One Night in
Bethlehem to support Catholic Charities‟
Roselia Center.
Catholic Charities'
Roselia Center offers a stable, safe and
nurturing home, and support services for
homeless, single, pregnant and parenting
mothers 18 or older and their infants.
From the birth of Jesus to supporting underprivileged babies and their families the spirit of Christmas lives on.

Two coaches and nine
talented boys were selected
three years ago to form the
Hampton Blue Devils! All
had one thing in common, a
passion to teach, learn and
play the game of basketball.
Matt Mignogna played basketball for Hampton some
time ago and has been coaching the Blue Devils. “The
apple doesn‟t fall far from
the tree”, stated Mignogna,
since his fourth grade son
Colby has the desire to take
the court. The Blue Devils
traveled to Sto-Rox and beat
Upper St. Clair, Chartiers
Valley and Montour for the
championship and were recognized for winning the
Pittsburgh Basketball Club
Tip Off Tournament. Congratulations and good luck to
the Hampton Blue Devils as
your season progresses!

Christmas Wish
the Christmas decorations. HMS Principal
Dr. Eric Stennett announced that a visitor
from far away had arrived. While most of
the students speculated it was Santa Claus,
Col. Ference entered the room. The
shocked John rose quickly, never taking
his eyes off of his dad and then wrapped
his arms tightly around him. As the Colonel and his son embraced, the students and
faculty erupted with cheers.
This same scenario was replayed at
Central, where Chris is a 5th grade student.
This time the media set up in the school
cafeteria where the 5th grade students were
making fleece blankets for underprivileged children. When Col. Ference entered the cafeteria, Chris couldn‟t believe
his eyes. It took a moment for it to register that his dad was right there in front of
him. Then, he jumped up and hurried to
his dad, giving him a huge hug. Chris remembered, “When Dad said he was leaving, I was upset he wouldn't be here for
Christmas. But, now my wish came true!”
Col. Ference, a 32 year veteran of the
U.S. Army and Army Reserves, has been
deployed to Afghanistan since July 2011
with the 352nd Combat Medical Hospital
as a dentist whose mission was taking care
of detainees, prisoners, and personnel at a
hospital. Col. Ference coped with the
separation from his family by taking advantage of today‟s technology: Skype,
internet, and email. Also, he and his fellow soldiers looked forward to mail from
family and friends. The Kids Care Club at
Central Elementary, where his son Chris is
a member and a local Girl Scout troop
collected toiletries and sundry items that
were sent to Col. Ference and his colleagues. The family at home has to cope,
too. John remarked, “We did very well
during Dad's absence, because of all the
help we got from friends and family and
because God was watching over us.”
At both schools, Col. Ference presented a certificate and an American flag
that had flown over Afghanistan to the
respective principals in thanks for the letters, packages, and prayers sent to him and
his unit during his deployment.
During each school visit, Col. Ference
patiently answered questions from students.
Because the military can always
change a plan, Col. Ference and his wife,
Lisa, decided not to tell the boys of the
early homecoming, in the event the leave
might not happen and the boys would be
disappointed. Lisa contacted the principals at HMS and Central who were very
cooperative and excited to be part of the
surprise. Lisa shared a conversation from
earlier in the week, “A few days prior to
Dad's arrival, Dad asked John what he
wanted for Christmas and he replied „I just
want you home, Dad.‟ My heart sank and
I knew this would be a fabulous surprise!”
The boys were given permission to
leave school early and celebrate their
dad‟s homecoming with dinner at their
favorite restaurant. This year, the Ference
family received a Christmas gift better
than any amount of money can buy.

Education Versus Experience
W
Dr. Howard Rosenthal
hen I am in the Midwest, I often
visit an upscale chain of movie
theaters. Before the movie and the previews begin there is a short introduction
about the history of the theatre. In one
scene, a fabulous looking 1950s car nearly
jumps off the screen at you. It is clearly an
artist's rendition, rather than a photograph.
I must commend the artist in the sense that you feel like you
could just reach out a grab a tail fin.
But there is only one problem with the auto in the picture. It is inaccurate. Why? The answer is easy. The vehicle
is sporting safety side lights that did not appear on this brand
of vehicle until over ten years later.
How did an error like this occur that millions of viewers
would see? Simple. The artist -- no doubt very well-trained -was not born (or perhaps was still in diapers) when this cool
car rolled off the assembly line, and later cruised America's
highways, byways, and hamburger stands replete with waiters and waitresses on roller skates.
Since my family owned one of these beasts, and it was
the first car I ever drove, I cringed when I spied the side
lights. Most viewers, including artists and photographers
brought up in the same era as the artist, will never give it a
second thought. As the director of a community college program and the proud owner of four higher education degrees,
I am a huge supporter of education. That said, there is still a
heck of a lot to be said for experience.
So the very next time you need a doctor, a dentist, an auto mechanic, or anybody's else's services, don't hesitate to ask about their
experience.
If this article doesn't make sense, just ponder the cute little
question many of your children and grandchildren ask, "What was
the Internet like when you were a kid?"
I rest my case!

Cookin’, Recollections and
Recipes of Joe Lagnese
by Tina Harper
Cookin',
Recollections
and Recipes
of Joe Lagnese is a new
cookbook
written
by
Joe Lagnese,
Sr., a 44-year resident of Allison
Park. The book is a unique presentation for a cookbook, a narrative story describing Joe‟s Italian
upbringing and food-related life
experiences.
Mr. Lagnese grew up in an
Italian family in Penn Hills. In
the book, he fondly reminisces of
early memories of his Italian
heritage and Italian foods. He
talks about his first jobs with
farmers, a huckster, and in an
Italian grocery store. All of these
experiences set the tone for his
later appreciation of preparing
and eating authentic Italian foods.
Mr. Lagnese, a healthy, ac-
tive octogenarian, is a veteran, an
environmental engineer, business
owner, university professor, musician, song writer, sculptor, gardener, and now an author. The
idea for the cookbook came from
family and friends‟ repeated requests for Joe‟s recipes and as a
fundraiser benefitting Muriel‟s
Breath of Life, a foundation created by the Lagnese family in
honor of Joe‟s daughter-in-law
who passed away in 2009 from
adult-onset Cystic Fibrosis.
The book was finished this
past September, in time for the
annual fundraising picnic benefiting Muriel‟s Breath of Life. It is
available for a $25 donation, including postage, by mailing a
check payable to Muriel's Breath
of Life, 310 Grant Street, Suite
720, Pittsburgh, PA 15219 or via
PayPal using the email address
murielsbreathoflife@gmail.com.

Dickens Comes to Life
at Middle School
Police Log
Criminal Mischief to Automobiles
by Autumn Edmiston
Sometimes learning is more than what you read
in a book. Thanks to a grant written by Mrs. Gwen
Cohen that was awarded by the HAEE; Hampton
middle school teachers have brought literature to life
in a real “who done it”. It was up to seventh graders
to solve the mystery.
Student sleuths were responsible for solving a
Victorian-style murder, using knowledge recently
gained during a Victorian and Dickens Unit from
their English and Reading classes. Teachers assumed
the roles of the characters involved in the murder
mystery while dressed in authentic garb from the
era. Ms. Jackie Ralutz said, “This has been a blast!
PTO donated two large gift baskets for the winners
and there has been such cooperation from the staff at
the school donating items for costumes. The teachers are really into it!”
Like any mystery dinner, the day began with an
introduction to the murder while students enjoyed
tea and cookies. Throughout the day students circulated through various classrooms as they were introduced to each character and provided evidence to
help them solve the murder. Seventh grader, Ava
Grubschmidt stated, “The murder mystery was fun.
The costumes and characters were dramatic.”
At the end of the day, students discussed their
findings and successfully solved the murder. Using
creativity and problem solving skills to reinforce
literature has created a “best seller” Hampton Middle School students will remember for years to
come.
On Thursday, November 24, 2011, a victim from Chautauqua Street
reported that sometime overnight November 23rd – 24th, someone had broken out the rear window of her vehicle. The victim stated nothing is missing
from the vehicle.
Trespass, Reckless Driving, Possession
On Monday, November 21, 2011 at approximately 8:00 a.m., the Police
were dispatched to the area of Lee Manor Drive for a black Chevrolet truck
with a white male occupant wearing camo who had just left the caller's residence. Police were told that the male actor was banging on her door and
screaming to let him inside and then he sped away toward the dead end of
the street. Approximately one minute later Police were dispatched to 4065
Clarkland Avenue for what was originally a 911 hang up call. Police were
updated that the caller complained of a suspicious small black pickup truck
riding through yards and being operated in a reckless manner. The operator
was described as a younger white male. During the time of Police response,
a resident at on Lee Manor Drive called into the Hampton Township Police
Department and reported a white male operating a black pickup truck in a
reckless manner that had been involved in some type of verbal altercation
with another individual behind her house on Lee Manor Drive. During this
same time, another call came in to 911 from Lee Manor Drive where the
resident complained of a young white male that had just walked into her
house and confronted her. Police found the actor wearing a camo jacket in
the yard on Lee Manor Drive. Police asked him what he was doing there in
the yard. He began talking about a satanic cult and ritual animal killings.
Police observed that the male had something in each of his hands. The actor
was in possession of crack cocaine, suspected stamp bags of heroin and
other drug paraphernalia. His truck was smashed into a hillside behind Lee
Manor Drive. The actor was placed into custody, taken to the Hampton Police Department for processing and then transported to the Allegheny
County Jail.
Vandalism
On Monday, November 21, 2011 a resident from
the 2500 block of Hampton Avenue reported that sometime overnight, actor(s) unknown knocked over her
mailbox. The pole was out of the ground, but the mailbox itself was not damaged. Actors also knocked over
her trash cans.

Christmas in the Streets
dren who are less fortunate. One little boy said, “Santa can‟t
go to these kids‟ houses - they don‟t have chimneys so we
have to be Santa for them”. A little girl went shopping with
her parents and picked out “what she would like to give to
someone who didn‟t have a home”.
Mary Lou Ellena-Wygonik, student advisor for Rotary
Interact, said the club participates in a number of projects
throughout the year, but holiday time is especially busy. During the time of the toy drive, her students were also helping
seniors at Vincentian nursing home address Christmas cards
and wrap presents for their families. The toy drive represented
children in need on the opposite end of the spectrum.
From helping senior citizens to kids, the “spirit of giving”
abounds in the hearts of Hampton teachers, students and their
families.
