Three Local Scouts Earn the Esteemed Eagle Award
by Autumn Edmiston
B
oy Scout Troop 195 of St. Catherine of Sweden Church held a special Court Of Honor award ceremony on Monday, July 30th. The purpose of
this ceremony was to recognize 3 Hampton
High School seniors – Henry Arch III,
Matthew G. Bauman and Grant K. Smith -- for attaining the Eagle Scout Award, the
highest honor a Boy Scout can receive.
Becoming an Eagle Scout is considered
a very prestigious award, as a scout must
complete a minimum of 21 merit badges,
demonstrate leadership in his troop and
community, complete a service project for
the community, and attend a Scoutmaster
conference, and an Eagle Board of Review.
Nationally, only about five percent of
scouts will attain the award. Once the
honor is earned, the scout is an Eagle Scout
for life.
Guest speakers at the ceremony included The American Legion, the US Submarine Vets, and US Marine Corps. Each of

The Presidential Election

A new gang has moved into Hampton! Don‟t worry, it‟s Gino‟s Gang,
lead by a Hampton Freshman, Gino
Rotellini, who has hemophilia B, a rare
bleeding disorder. Gino‟s Gang is a
“friends and family walk team” that
supports the Western Pennsylvania
Chapter of the National Hemophilia
Foundation‟s Walk at North Park, Harmar Grove, on September 15.
Gino, a 14 year old who loves golf and

Hampton Graduate Achieving
her Dreams in California
E
by Autumn Edmiston
lizabeth Cardillo has come a long
way since moving from Hampton to
Los Angeles. She earned her fashion merchandising degree from the Fashion
Institute of Design and Merchandising
(FIDM) in Los Angeles and works in a bridal store, Glamour Closet, in LA.
Liz competed for the first time last year in
Miss Malibu USA. Since then she has competed 3 more times, placing in the top 20 out
of 300 girls in the Miss California USA system. She went on to win Miss California
Intercontinental, and placed 1st runner up in
the Miss United States pageant in Houston
TX. Liz will be heading back to Miss California USA in January 2013
with dreams of competing for Miss USA!
“Competing has completely changed my life; I have made incredible
friendships and have booked many modeling jobs. I've become confident in my abilities and a better public speaker! I'm hoping to venture
into more commercial work and even some television hosting.”
Growing up in Hampton gave Liz a solid foundation; her family and
the school district are at the base of who she has become. Liz states, “I
take the values of the small town I grew up in and use them in this big
city of Los Angeles. I miss my family very much, but I know I have
found my home in California. I love it here!”
Gino’s Gang
There was no physician in Montana with hemophilia
experience and it was difficult to find a pediatrician.
When Gino was 4 years old, the Rotellinis moved to
Hampton and contacted the Western Pennsylvania
Chapter and the expert doctors and nurses at the Hemophilia Center of Western Pennsylvania in Oakland.
“Those were difficult years in the beginning,” says mom
Dawn Rotellini, “we didn‟t know how to treat his
bleeds, which are IV infusions, and we didn‟t have guidance from experts like we do here. One of the difficult
challenges facing parents of children with hemophilia is
finding support and information they need.”
Approximately 12,000 people nationwide have hemophilia, a disorder that makes it difficult for the blood
to clot. Rotellini says, “It‟s a small community, but it‟s
a life-threatening disorder that is extremely costly. On
average the cost of medicine alone, for someone with
severe hemophilia, is about $250,000 per year! However, with medicine, Gino can live a normal, active life.”
The Rotellinis are spreading the word about the
Walk and the work the Chapter does for families. The
Chapter co-hosts a summer camp for affected children
and they provide educational events at no cost to those
affected. The Walk is one way the organization raises
much needed funds. They hope you will join them on
September 15 – registration begins at 9:00am and the
Walk begins at 10:00am. For more information www.hemophilia.org/walk, click on PA.

On Saturday, August 18 a resident came to the station to report that he was driving northbound on Route 8 in the area of Mt.
Royal Blvd. when someone threw a rock at the vehicle he was
driving. The rock damaged the windshield of the car. He reported
that the incident occurred at approximately 7:35 p.m. He further
advised that the rock was thrown from the houses on the east side

but was unable to give a description. Police immediately searched
the area where the incident occurred. Police were unable to locate

was a juvenile on a bike.

Writing for Wellness
by Sara Bugajski
Remember the journals of our childhood? How about the
diaries we shared our deepest secrets with? When we stopped
writing in them we cut ourselves off from the unlimited benefits
that journal writing can offer. Research shows that writing everyday can promote health, relaxation, and emotional and physical healing.
Journaling helps us relax and meditate on our lives; through
this process we can figure out if we are happy or if we need to
change in order to become happier. A journal eventually becomes a guidebook for us, where we can learn the lessons from
our past and put them to use in our future. We can discover who
we are, where we‟ve been and where we‟re going.
Journal writing is the cheapest form of therapy available.
There are no set rules. Ignore punctuation and grammar, if you
wish, just write. You can journal by yourself or if you need
some guidance you can sign up for the Hampton Holistic Center‟s Journal Writing for Wellness workshop on Saturday, October 6 from 12:30-2:30 p.m. If creative writing is more your
speed, join us for our Fiction Writing for New and Emerging
Writers class starting September 17 from 6-8:30 p.m. For more

here are a number of boneless chicken breasts on the market
and they are not all created equal. The commodity type
breast, usually generically wrapped in a Styrofoam tray, is
common in the local grocery store and varies in price depending
upon the current market. These are ok, but they can be very inconsistent in size and quality. They usually need a little work before
you cook them; often containing the tenderloin which has a strand of
sinew that runs from top to bottom. I find that they usually need
trimmed well and pounded flat to give the best result. Another common grocery store product is the one that is usually packed in a 5
pound bag and almost always works out to be less per pound than the
commodity breast. In my opinion, this chicken should be left at the
store. It‟s always inconsistent in shape and size and commonly cut
from large, older birds. This requires even more work than the commodity breast and there is no guarantee that it will cook evenly or
tender.
So what do you recommend, you ask? Boneless skinless chicken breasts are one of the leading items purchased in restaurants and
foodservice establishments. Because of their increased popularity
over the years, the industry had to come up with a breast that would
require little to no further processing, cook evenly, stay moist, and eat
tender. All of the major poultry processors met that challenge. They all
have a name for it, but they are all basically the same. Tyson, for instance, calls theirs EvenCook®.
The breasts are relatively consistent in size and are somewhat flattened to ensure even cooking. Additionally, they go through a process
called tumbling. They are literally tumbled in a sealed drum with a solution containing sodium phosphate or saline. This is a completely safe
additive that contributes to the overall tenderness and moistness of the
chicken breast. And if that isn‟t enough, you will also realize less
shrinkage. 13 -15% solution is desirable; anything above that I would
avoid. I usually find these at Sam‟s Club, Costco, or the GFS Store,
although your specialized grocery stores may carry them as well.

Eagle Scouts
these speakers recognized the Eagle
achievement with certificates or
medals.
Because he regularly volunteers
at Bread of Life, Hank asked them if
there was anything they needed done
that he could use for his Eagle Scout
project. “My project involved renovating a significant portion of the
Bread of Life food pantry shelving in
Etna, which evolved into 351 hours
of labor. The scope of work changed
as we worked through the project,
but we adjusted. I learned how to
detail a project and communicate to
adults what needed to be done.”
Hank‟s advice to prospective Eagle
scouts is to “describe in detail the
scope of the project and explain the
steps necessary to complete it.”
Matt‟s project was to create a new
outdoor worship sanctuary at the
New Community Church in Gibsonia, and involved 214 hours of
labor. “I chose this project because
of on-going involvement with my
church. Overcoming project changes, managing manpower and budgeting taught me a lot. I learned how to
take charge of a project, work and communicate
with
adults.”
Grant‟s project
was to create raised
flowerbeds and an 8foot bench beside the
shuffleboard courts at
Hampton Fields retirement home and
involved 124 hours
of labor. “I did a lot
of visiting at my
aunt's
retirement
home, and I noticed
they had nice raised
beds there. I figured
that Hampton Fields,
a retirement home
close to my home,
would be a great
place for a project.”
The rains made pouring concrete
a struggle, but we were able to accomplish the project through good
planning and leadership.”
All three Eagle scouts also participated in several high adventure
outings during their scouting experience including a 72 mile wilderness
trek at Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico and a
65 mile canoe trip down the Au Sable River in northern Michigan. In total, these scouts have accumulated
316 nights of camping, hiked 392 miles, and paddled
more 200 miles.
These Eagle scouts offer the following advice to
young scouts, “Stick with it, in the end it‟s worth it.
Never give up.”

O
ften when I start my puppy classes I‟m amazed at the
number of, how to delicately say, seniors in class with
puppies. I‟m not talking about the AARP definition of
senior, which is 50. What I ask folks to think about is the longevity of their puppy. Large breed dogs have and
8 – 10 year life span, toy breeds can live up
to 13 – 14 years. If you‟re adopting a puppy
and you‟re 65 think about where you‟ll be
living when you‟re 70. Will you be able to
take your dog with you when and if you
move? Also, do you have the patience for a
puppy? We forget how puppies/dogs require
exercise and attention. Are you ready to go out in the middle of
winter to take your puppy to go to the bathroom and be walked?
Believe me, I‟m not saying don‟t do it, just think about your responsibilities. Shelters get involved with so many families that are
bringing their parent‟s senior pet into the Shelter because their
parent is now going into a facility that doesn‟t allow dogs or cats.
I‟m always about the pet; they‟re at the mercy of their adopters. I
ask that seniors discuss with their families if they would take in
their pet if something would happen to them. Don‟t assume. Consider adopting an adult pet; yes, you may have to deal with the loss
of the pet but you‟d be giving a loving home to a pet that often is
looked over at a shelter. Think about including your pets care and
welfare in your will. Make a financial stipulation in your will for
your pet. Think about the size of your dog. You downsize your
house, think about downsizing your pets.
Adopt Millie!
Breed /Mix: Pit Bull
Gender: Spayed Female
Age: 3 years
I am at Western PA
Humane Society because
my previous owner was
moving and couldn't take
me.
I'm a nice gal who
was a little shy when I
first came to the shelter,
but now I'm really coming out of my shell and
boy am I sweet! I would
do best in a home with
adults and kids; if you
have any other dogs
please bring them down
for a meet and greet. I
get along with almost
everyone I meet! I know
how to sit and give paw…
and I don‟t mind wearing
fancy collars or clothes
(they like to dress me up
sometimes at the shelter
hoping someone might see
me better.)
