Will Power Inspiration for September Service
by Gina Hussar
Six-year-old Will Pilarski was all set to
follow in his eight-year-old brother Noah's
footsteps this year by entering into his first year
of competitive gymnastics. But just over a
month ago, when headaches turned out to be
much more, his gymnastics path came to an
end, at least for now.

Marilyn Adams’s class had a spe-
cial pen pal in Afghanistan during
the 2012-2013 school year. The students
wrote cards, letters, and emails to Army
Private Connor Green while he was sta-
tioned in Afghanistan for eight months.
Private Green would write back to the stu-
dents and share photographs of his life in
the Army and also answer the children’s
many questions. Connor is a 2011 Hamp-
ton High School graduate. The children
had a special treat this August when they
got to meet him in person while he was
home on leave.

Because I care about all of you, I am going to put
myself out there and share a not-so-fantastic parenting
moment. This morning, after a night of tossing and
turning, I woke up to my youngest throwing tantrum
after tantrum, walking around like a little chubby
bomb waiting to explode at any moment. “You’re
being SUCH a baby!” I heard myself say. He’s 15
months old, people. I called my baby a baby. I’ll re-
move myself from the “Mother of the Year” contest-
ant list.
But let me defend myself for a moment. I see his
wheels turning. I see that inner monologue going and
I’m convinced that the inner monologue sounds some-
thing like that the guy that does the voiceovers for
horror movie trailers. Sometimes I think he thinks to
himself, “I’m so glad we are going shopping. I will
wait patiently until we get to the checkout line and
then, when the cart is full and just enough people are
around, I will break into hysterics for no good reason
and make everyone there think she is completely inca-
pable as a mother.” This is the kid with the 10 octave
squeal. This is the kid who has made me THAT per-
son, the one everyone looks at in restaurants.
Thank GOODNESS for my super strong inner
peace force field! And for time spent in silence. It was
in such a time that the BEST parenting method came
to me, and it’s a method I have used with all of my
kids and more and more often, my spouse as well.
Here it is:
BEST- Breathe, Empathize, Solve, Toss
When your kids push your buttons, talk back, spill
something, act out in public, scream on airplanes or
whatever, try handling it the BEST way.
Breathe. When you take a sec to breathe, you stop
yourself from REACTING. When we take one breath,
it’s just long enough to diffuse the frustration and to
keep us from acting like someone we wouldn’t even
want to share a cab with.
Empathize. SO often we over react because we are
expecting our children to behave in a way that they are
not emotionally capable of. Even our teenagers lack
the same level of adult control that most of us have. Is your child tired?
Feeling that you don’t trust him? Most of the time our kids are not trying
to drive us insane. Take poor behavior as a message. What message are
they trying to send that they aren’t ready to verbalize? Manage your expec-
tations. If you take your kids to the grocery store when they are sick and
exhausted, guess what? It’s kind of your fault.
Solve. Solve the problem. And if they are old enough, get them involved
in the solution so that they begin to think about problem solving for them-
selves. Ask, ”Any ideas on how we can fix this?” If they are tiny and it
means cutting your shopping trip short? Do it. The best solutions are the
ones that get them thinking or the ones that diffuse the anxiety for you
both.
Toss. Toss it out. The second you solve it, stop thinking about it. Give
them a hug. Get on with your day. My husband has a tendency to stay mad
for three hours over a broken remote. It’s broken. Breathe. Empathize. Did
you put the remote where the 15 month old could get to it? Solve. Fix it or
buy a new one. And Toss. RIP remote. We had some good times. And now
it’s over.
Onward and upward, just a little step closer to sanity. =)

Traditional Italian Pizza and its Variations are Worth the Effort
by John Rizzo
I ’m guessing that you don’t know exactly what you are getting
when you order a calzone or stromboli when visiting a new
pizzeria. And I’m not sure there’s any clear answer. De-
pending upon the state or even the neighborhood you are in, it can
vary. One difference I can say with certainty is the shape.
The calzone, a half-moon shape filled pizza, is generally
served with the sauce on the side or over top. Originating in Na-
ples, Italy back in the 18th century, the calzone got its name from
the stylish baggy pants that were worn by the men. Traditionally
the ingredients were similar to pizza –meats, cheeses, vegetables
and even the sauce. The ingredients are placed in the center of
dough, which is round and rolled flat, then folded into a crescent
shape and baked or fried. In this area, it’s not uncommon to find
the sauce served on the side or ladled over top.
The stromboli, similar to the calzone, resembles a sandwich
more so than the calzone. Usually filled with Italian meats and
cheeses, the dough is either rolled or formed into a flat sandwich
with dough on the top and bottom. The stromboli did not origi-
nate in Italy, but outside Philadelphia of all places. A 1948 film
named Stromboli, featuring Ingrid Bergman as a refugee who
marries a Sicilian fisherman, inspired the name for Nazzereno
Romano. Romano, who owned an Italian restaurant in Essington,
PA, created this future pizzeria favorite and named it after the
film. (Stromboli is the name of a volcano on the Aeolian Islands
just outside the Sicilian coast)
Whatever you choose, whether it’s a calzone or stromboli, I
would suggest you read the menu carefully or ask a staff member
how it’s prepared.
Pizza dough
Bread Flour 33/4 Cups salt 2 tsp.
Dry yeast, envelope 1 Olive oil 2 TBL
Warm water (110° F) 1.5 Cups Sugar 1 tsp.
In a large bowl, combine the warm water, yeast and sug-
ar; let stand for 10 minutes. (the yeast will feed on the sugar
during this time). Add the flour, salt and olive oil. If using an
electric mixer, use the dough hook and kneed the dough for
approximately 8 minutes. If it’s too wet, add a tablespoon of
flour at a time until it reaches a firmer texture. If making this
manually, combine the ingredients by hand and roll out on to
floured surface and knead until the dough is elastic and forms
a ball. Cover with plastic film and let it proof until it doubles
in size (about an hour or two).
Calzone Yield: 3
On a cool floured surface, divide the dough into 3 even
balls; set 2 aside. Roll the other ball of dough into a circle -
about a 1/4 inch thick. Spread 1/3 of the ricotta over 1/2 of
the dough then layer 1/3 of each additional topping over the
ricotta. Fold the other half of the dough over top of the filling

When the regular season of
Hampton Baseball comes to a close,
the tournament season kicks
off! Without even a weekend in between,
young baseball players continue to brave the heat for the love
of the game. This summer, one such team was the 9 year old
"B" tournament team, coached by Joe Burger.
The tournament season had the boys traveling to Saxon-
burg, Indiana Twp and Cranberry. One of the benefits of
tournament ball is that it allows the players an opportunity to
travel and play teams outside of Hampton Township. This
season, the boys played hard, through intense heat, and con-
tinued to show improvement with each game. “The true bene-
fits of the experience will show as this group of boys contin-
ues to develop and grow,” says Coach Burger. “The tourna-
ment coaching will definitely improve the "baseball I.Q." of
each player.” Many of the boys will take the skills they prac-
ticed in tournament season right into Fall ball, which starts
this month. For die-hard fans who like to enjoy baseball al-
most year-round, Hampton is the place to be!

Independence Day Celebration at Hampton Park
Attorney Hal English
GREAT day for Baseball, and Even Better Tournament Season for Hampton “Blue”
T he Hampton 8 year-old “Blue” Tournament Team was on a
“mission” for the Ingomar Tournament. It was to show that
hard work pays off, and to place something on the mantle
that proves it! In what seemed like a marathon day of baseball,
Hampton (as the #2 seed) convincingly beat Bradmar-Pine in the
quarter-finals. They beat their “rival” Ingomar (who hosted the
tournament) in the semi-finals 19-12, and worked their way to the
Championship game against Mars. Hampton held on to the lead
for most of the game, however Mars pulled ahead to win the game
in the end. Although Hampton finished as a “runner-up” in the
tournament, the “boys” were proud to fill the void on the mantle
with a nice, shiny trophy, as well as learn a lesson that hard work
and practice pays off!

Will has been diagnosed with medul-
loblastoma, a type of cancer Hampton
residents have become all too familiar
with due to their
current hometown
hero, Connor
Michalek.
Currently,
Will is undergoing
both chemo and
radiation but his
spirit is strong and
his smile, conta-
gious.
Hampton has
opened their hearts
once again and the first big fundraiser for
Will was held at Hampton Community
park on August 10th. The next public
event was on Saturday, August 24th at
Hampton Community Park soccer fields
headed up by Casey Carr and Todd Ork-
wis. Roughly 24 adult and 24 youth teams
registered to participate in a Cornhole
Tourna-
ment. Food
vendors, a
bake sale, a
50/50 raffle
for Steeler
tickets and
giant inflat-
able round-
ed out the
activities.
Shirts and
bracelets
supporting Will were also sold. “Overall
the event was a big success,” says Carr.
“Coupled with our online fundraising site,
we were able to raise a lot of money.”
The sponsors for this event were
Pasquales’ Pizza, Waterfront Embroidery,
Awards & More, Pittsburgh Plastics and
Turbie Twist.
Casey Carr, Denny Schlegel, Todd
Orkwis, and Peter Carr continued to show
support by running the Tough Mudder
competition in St. Clairsville,
Ohio. Tough Mudder is a very rigorous
10.5 run and obstacle course through hills,
mud, and various challenging obstacles
that test physical and mental strength. The
group ran as Team Will Power!
More events around the community
will be held throughout the year starting
with those in September at Jewart's Gym-
nastics. When Will's coaches and team-
mates heard about him being diagnosed
with cancer they instantly began thinking
of ways they could help. "You feel so
helpless," said Lainy Carslaw, special
event coordinator of the Pittsburgh
Northstars. "Even though you know the
ways you can help are small, you just do
what you can and you show that you
care. The idea is to show Will and his
family that there is a loving community
around them." And the entire boys team
did this by shaving their heads to stand in
solidarity with Will as he prepared to start
treatment.
September is service month at Jewart's
including their two biggest giving events
of the year- national service day held on
September 11th and National Gymnastics
Day held on Saturday, September
21st. These are fun, family friendly
events. Please contact Lainy Carslaw for
more information on you can get involved
or to donate. Please send emails to

Loads of Fun and Hard Work at Band Camp
By Diane Prem
T wo hundred and twenty-five dedicated students took
their positions on Hampton High School’s Gold Field
for band camp the week of August 5th to learn the
pregame and half-time show music and drill that will be per-
formed at upcoming HHS football games and parades. The
students first hummed the tunes, and then played their instru-
ments working long hours throughout the week persevering
under hot and humid conditions. Marking their intricate
movements, they created patterns on the field that included a
piano and a fish to coincide with this year’s theme of Billy
Joel songs. All this was accomplished under the watchful eye
and guidance of Band Director Chad Himmler, as he stood
atop a six-foot scaffold decorated as a yellow lemonade stand
courtesy of a creative prank by senior band members.
“This year’s marching style is different from last years,
but everyone is adjusting very well and in a couple of weeks
we are going to really ’wow’ the audience!” concluded Drum
Majors Miranda Francois and Wilson Leibering.
Creating memories, bonding through dedicated team-
work, and clever pranks are all traditions at band camp. One
prank was an ambush by seniors with water balloons at a
The Lymphoma and Leukemia Society aids in

"Dorothy's Dancers", and will be participating
in the Lymphoma and Leukemia Society's walk, Light the
Night. This walk will take place on Thursday, October 3, 2013
from 5:30-9:30 at Heinz Field. Light the Night Walk events are

band meeting. Dressing up in fun attire throughout the week were
the “Claire Sisters” (clarinets) as animal beanie babies complete
with the “I heart you” logo; the dance drill did “pageant girls”; per-
cussion did “Where’s Waldo”; the flutes were “minions”; and the
trumpets were “gym class heroes” to name a few. Free dinners
were provided to the band on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, as
well as free Rita’s Italian Ice daily. A special “thank you” goes out
to the Band Parent Association, parent volunteers for their time and
donations, and to Pasquales’ Pizza.
After an early morning rehearsal on Friday, August 9th, the
band spent the day at Kennywood Park enjoying its many attrac-
tions. The evening concluded with a parade throughout the park
where the band demonstrated their newly honed talents marching to
the tunes of “Piano Man” and “Only The Good Die Young.”

“I am happy to offer the opportunity to help resi-

bag as a guide. No books or magazines will be ac-
cepted.
In addition to the shredding event, English said they
will be collecting non-perishable food donations to
aid the North Hills Community Outreach Food Pan-
try.
“The food pantry does a marvelous job helping
people in need and it is a pleasure to assist in that
effort for our community,” said English.
English to Host Next Series of ‘Speak with Hal English’ Meetings
Representative Hal English (R-
Allegheny) said today he will be

English. The meetings will be held

Hampton, Fox Chapel and O’Hara.
“The previous sessions have

cerns,” said English.

meeting will be held at the Hampton

Halloween Parade set for October
The Hampton Community Association (HCA) is planning a
Hampton Halloween Parade to take place at the Community Center on
Saturday October 26th. Children ages infant to 12 years old will fol-
low a parade route and then finish inside the Community Center with
refreshments and prizes for different categories of costumes. The time
of the event will be announced soon. Watch for an update in the Octo-
ber issue of the Hampton News and also on posters around the commu-
nity. The day promises to be a fun event for all. Please tell your friends
and make plans to attend!
The HCA is currently in the process of raising funds to help rede-
sign and replace the current playground equipment in the community
park. It has been many years since the project has been done and we
are in great need of new playground equipment. The HCA is hoping
that the playground theme will be an all-inclusive multi-generational
area. Without our community supporting this project it cannot be done.
The HCA is planning many fun family events in the upcoming year so
families can attend entertaining events and also learn more about the
new playground.
You can also help raise funds for the new playground by filling a
clear plastic “Playground” bank with change. The idea is that you take
home a “Playground” bank and fill it up with change. When your jar
is pretty full, you can take it to the Hampton Community Center and
pour your money in a large bank that marks how much money we have
currently raised. You can take your jar home and start filling it again.
Plastic jars are available for free at the Community Center. Parents,
children, grandparents, and interested community members please stop
in today to one of these locations and pick up a bank. Help raise mon-
ey for the new playground equipment project. We will be looking for
members of the community who are able to help in the construction of
these playground areas when the time comes to have the playground
assembled. A small playground addition will be made next to Drake
Pavilion this September. Be sure to stop by Drake Pavilion this fall
and see it.

Connor got to meet about 11 children from last year’s 2nd
grade class. Marilyn Adams said, “It was great for my class
to correspond with Connor and even better for them to
meet with him personally. He brought items to share with
them such as a flag, some hats to try on, a scarf, and prayer
beads. This made it real for the students.” The young stu-
dents loved meeting Connor in person after writing to him
and sending him photographs and cards. Aja Lynn,
age 8, said she “really liked the things Connor
brought to show us, especially the money from Af-
ghanistan.” Nine year old Luke Proviano also men-
tioned “I thought it was cool that Connor visited us
and I liked when he showed us things from Afghani-
stan.” Jocelyn Noon wore a camouflaged skirted
outfit to the summer meeting and she said, "It was
nice to finally meet him after writing him letters."

dents last year and she said her favorite part was
“meeting Connor and learning about the scarves the
ladies wear. I thought that wearing the scarves all
over their bodies would be uncomfortable because it
is so hot there.”
Connor spent the evening answering some ques-
tions and visiting with the children and their fami-
lies. When asked about the pen pal program and the
playground meeting, Connor replied that “All I can
say is that meeting the students in person was my
way of giving back to them for writing me. I really
enjoyed meeting them and am happy that Mrs. Ad-
ams set up the meeting even though the kids weren't
in school. I was shocked they took time out of their
summer to stop by and let me speak to them.” Mrs.
Adams brought popsicles for the children and adults
to enjoy at the playground. Everyone had a lovely
evening and the pen pal writing program was a great
success.
Connor was deployed to southern Afghanistan
for 8 months. He is currently stationed in Ft. Lewis,
Washington which is just south of Seattle. He told
me his future plans include getting out of the army
in December 2014 and then moving back home to
Hampton. He wants to go to school to become a
teacher and to coach high school sports. Everyone
wishes Connor good luck in all of this future plans!
