Local Beautician Wins
National Sunrise Award
by Autumn Edmiston
Founded in 1989, the Look Good…Feel
Better program is a free, non-medical,
brand-neutral national public service program. The group program is open to all
women with cancer who are undergoing
chemotherapy, radiation, or other forms of
treatment. Look Good…Feel Better is offered through a collaboration of the Personal Care Products Council Foundation, the
American Cancer Society, Inc. (ACS), one
of the nation’s largest voluntary health organizations, and the Professional Beauty
Association | National Cosmetology Association (PBA | NCA),
Jen Valentic took her mother-in-law to
cancer treatment and saw how treatment
affected her. Jen decided to get involved
when one of her customers who works at
St. Margaret's cancer floor asked if she
would want to become a volunteer for the
Look Good...Feel Better classes. She saw
first hand how the program helps cancer
patients feel better and create the confidence to manage their treatments. Hair
loss and the effect it has on the cancer patient create an emotional roller coaster.
Valentic states, “when I saw the smile on
my mother-in-law’s face after attending a
class, I knew I had to make a difference.
The series of two and a half hour classes
teaches a twelve-step make-up process that
concentrates on eyebrows.
Classes are
held at various locations throughout Pittsburgh, and most are at the hospitals where
cancer patients receive their treatments.”
A licensed cosmetologist and owner of
Hairz To You, Valentic now teaches 2-3
classes per month. Jen explained, “Cancer
patients with all types of cancer experience
the side effects from their treatment. The
classes allow them to talk with each other
about their experiences and class participants offer support to each other.”
Thousands of volunteer beauty professionals support Look Good. . .Feel Better
program. They are all trained and program
certified by the Personal Care Products
Council Foundation, ACS, and PBA | NCA
at local, regional and national workshops.
Each year, Look Good…Feel Better also
gives three national awards to outstanding
volunteers who have provided extraordinary service to the program. Individuals are

reminding residents to keep their parked
vehicles locked at all times.
Vandalism
On Wednesday, July 11, a resident
from Hampton Avenue reported that the
previous night around 11:00 p.m., she
heard a loud explosion outside. When
she went outside she found that her
mailbox had been blown up.
On Saturday, July 14 a resident
from Mohawk Drive reported vandalism
to his mailbox, and trash being thrown
all over the driveway. He said it is unknown to him who did this, and/or what
time it happened. Resident is requesting
extra patrols.
Criminal Mischief

the 2100 block of Ferguson Road reported that sometime around 3:00 a.m. an

had the pleasure of touring a coffee processing plant owned
by Sara Lee (although recently sold to Smucker’s) about a year
ago. I have to tell you; they take their coffee very seriously.
This particular plant actually produced a highly concentrated liquid
coffee that is frozen in cardboard containers designed for high tech
dispensing machines for food service. We were able watch the
process as the coffee turned into a thick slurry through heat reduction. My intention isn’t to discuss the process of making liquid
coffee, but I do want to mention that 100% of the energy used to
reduce thousands of gallons of coffee into a few hundred, was created by burning the coffee grounds. It was an inferno; like being
just feet from the surface of the sun.
While I was there I had the opportunity to participate in
“cupping” coffee with the experts. If you have never witnessed
this, it’s really a unique experience. Ultimately you are comparing
several blends of coffee. All the coffee was ground at the time of
the cupping while the grains and water were precisely measured.
The coffee was brewed, poured identically, steeped for several
minutes and maintained at the same temperature. First, the coffee
was briskly inhaled to test the aroma for adjectives like herbal, nutty, floral and fruity. Next was the big slurp. Yes, slurping; exactly
what it sounds like. They quickly sucked in the coffee while their
infantile sounds came pouring out. I have to admit, it was a bit
startling the first time I heard it. This is to spray the coffee evenly
across the tongue to identify the distinct flavors of the coffee. The
tongue is broken down into four taste regions. The tip of the
tongue is sweet, the sides are sour and salty while the back is bitter.
Now that the taster has doused his mouth with coffee, he proceeds
to spit it out into an upscale spittoon. The taster can now make an
evaluation of the coffee’s flavor, acidity, aroma, bitterness, sweetness, body and aftertaste. They were tasting flavors, or at least
telling us they were, that I could not detect.
So what was the outcome? The bottom line is that all the coffee had distinctive flavors. Many were very similar in my opinion,
and none were classified as a bad cup.
Conclusion: A good cup of coffee is what is most appealing and
satisfying to you and only you.

ampton’s Killer B’s have
struck again, as in our community’s 12 year old tournament
baseball team. Following in last
year’s footsteps this year’s retooled squad, which consists of
five new members, swaggered
into its 3rd tourney of the season
and walked out with the two and
half foot high, first place trophy.
Hampton dominated from start to
finish putting up 57 runs as it
posted a four and 0 record in capturing the crown. Ingomar was the
first team stung by the Hampton
bats falling 15-5 to the contingent
in blue and yellow. The next day
saw Hampton smashing Indiana
12-3 followed by a four-inning
demolition of Plum to the tune of
19-4. This set up a showdown
with rival Cranberry in the final
but Hampton’s offensive onslaught proved too much as the
boys from Butler County succumbed 11-3 in 6½ innings.

nature and extent of their exam findings.
The most common occurrence of traumatic
spinal subluxation dates back to the birthing process, particularly if there is a prolonged and difficult labor and delivery, as
well as if intervention was required, including C-sections, forceps use, or vacuum extraction.
It is for this reason that I urge each and
every parent to consider Chiropractic
checkups as part of a routine family affair, thereby supporting normal development
and function of the most important structure
and system in the body---the spine and
nervous system, which governs all bodily
functions including our most sophisticated
defense system, the immune system. Families who receive regular checkups and complement their lives with daily healthy habits
of eating, moving, and thinking well,
(concepts I teach in my office), are, in fact,
fine-tuned for optimal health.
