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.” (Continued on page 8) by Roberta Schwarzbach (Continued on page 7) 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 More Kennywood photos on page 7 thing. “It is scary”, states Sam Michael Khoury, a registered pharmacist who recently opened his own pharmacy, Gibsonia Pharmacy and Health What’s Inside Center.

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 The Hampton News is published 12 times a year.

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 ◊ One Hour Average Dry Time ◊ Deeper Cleaning Than Steam or Chem Cleaning ◊ Carpet Dries Soft, Not Hard or Crunchy ◊ Pet Stain & Odor Removal Specialists ◊ NO Toxic Chemicals “We had severe pet stains on our dining room carpet and planned on replacing it soon.

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.

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, www.allisonparkchurch.com, or on the infoline at 412.487.2215.

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. Bethany Lutheran Preschool is currently accepting registration for the 2006-2007 school year. Programs are offered for children ages 3-5. Please call us at (724) 443-3890 to arrange a time to tour our facility. We are located on West Hardies Road, one block west of Route 8 in Hampton Township. All are welcome! Sports 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.

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! 8 Hampton Township Rotary Firecracker 5K Tuesday, July 4 The Rotary Club of Hampton Township is pleased to host the annual Firecracker 5K.

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.

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! Dr. Howard Rosenthal is the author of a number of books including Help Yourself to Positive Mental Health and the Encyclopedia of Counseling. His website is www.howardrosenthal.com. 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. Figure 1 Pennsylvania Intestate Succession Chart (Effective November 1, 2005) Survived by Who gets what Spouse and issue of that spouse First $30,000 plus half of the balance to the spouse; remainder to issue (surviving children and surviving issue of deceased children of decedent), by representation Spouse and issue by another person 50% to spouse; remainder to issue Spouse and a parent or parents, but no issue First $30,000 plus half of the balance to the spouse Spouse only All to spouse Issue only All to surviving children and surviving issue of deceased children No spouse, no issue All to parents or surviving issue of parents (siblings and surviving issue of deceased siblings) None of the above All to grandparents or surviving issue of grandparents (cousins and surviving issue of deceased cousins) No relatives Escheats to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Michael Angelo Maccagnan is a partner with the law firm of Angelo & Angelo, LLC located at 2879 West Hardies Road in Gibsonia.

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 Accreditation Program. A list of legitimate pharmacies can be viewed at http://www.nabp.net/vipps/consumer/listall.asp. It is also important to know your medication. If it feels different, looks different or tastes different, call your pharmacist. Counterfeit Drugs (Continued from page 1) 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 13 Entertainment Independence Day Community Celebration MONDAY, JULY 3rd 2:00-5:00 p.m.—FREE SWIM, all ages in outdoor pool 6:00-7:30 p.m.—FREE Children’s Games, ages 12 and under in the Community Center 6:00-7:30 p.m.—FREE Foul Shooting Contest, Comm.
