Are you Ready for Some Football! by Tina Harper

ast fall, the Hampton High School Talbots made school his- L tory by advancing to the WPIAL semi-finals. For most of last season, the Talbots were considered underdogs. They surprised many with their progress. The team lost 18 seniors to gradua- tion in the spring. To prep for this season, the team started winter work- outs in January and continued through August, just before camp started. The team was- n’t ranked at the beginning of the season. Coach Jacque DeMatteo thinks being ranked isn’t as important as how well you finish the race. The Talbots aren’t concentrating on the past. They have set their own goal for this season: that is, to make it to the play-offs. Coach DeMatteo said, ―I’m lucky to be a part of Hampton and have the opportunity to work with these kids and coaches.‖ Coach DeMatteo is assisted by Mr. Ron Gooden, Mr. Mike Mancuso, Jr., Mr. Joe Mancuso, Sr., Mr. Paul Veto, Mr. Steve Sciullo, Mr. Adam Frederick, Mr. Lyle Domico, Sr., and Mr. Dave Interthal.

Good luck, Talbots!

Chef’s Corner Eyes Failing You? PLUMBING LLC Try a Healthy Dose of Beta-Carotene by John Rizzo

f you’re a winter squash lover, then you should be very happy that the global market has made it pretty much available year I round. But if you are looking for the best quality winter squash, then that season begins now. This colorful and vitamin rich fruit is ―in season‖ in October and November when quality is superlative. Winter squash is abundant in vitamins A and C as well as po- tassium, manganese, folate, and dietary fiber. Vitamin A helps promotes good vision especially in low light as well as keeping your skin, eyes and mucous membranes moist. Although vitamin A is found only in foods of animal origin, some fruits and vegetables contain carotenoids, which your body has the ability to con- vert many of these to Vitamin A. Carotenoids are red, orange, and yellow compounds natural to many fruits, grains and vegetables. These colorful compounds act as antioxidants, which may help ward off many chronic diseases including cancer. Beta-carotene is the abundant carotenoid found in winter squash. In addition to being a powerful antioxidant, it also pos- sesses strong anti-inflammatory properties. Beta-carotene can prevent the progression of atherosclerosis (narrowing of the arter- ies), may protect against diabetic heart disease, and may help regu- Independent Retirement Living at UPMC Senior Communities late blood sugar levels. Studies suggest that beta-carotene can reduce the risk of colon cancer, and lessen the effects of asthma, osteoarthritis and rheuma- toid arthritis.

Is thinking about Halloween candy and its effect on your children's teeth enough to give you the chills? Don't despair - you can be mindful of your child's health and still let them enjoy this special occasion. The decay process in teeth works like this: The majority - about 90 percent - of all foods contain sugars or starches that enable bacteria in dental plaque to produce acids. This attack by bacterial acid, lasting 20 minutes or more, can lead to a loss of tooth mineral and, eventually, to cavities. A child who licks a piece of hard candy every few minutes or sips a sugary drink is more susceptible to tooth decay because long-lasting snacks create an acid attack on teeth the entire time they are in the mouth. Thus, one approach would be to allow your ghosts and goblins to indulge in Halloween candy as a single serving instead of snacking throughout the afternoon or evening. A good rule would be to have your child eat their candy in a shorter period of time and then either swish with water to reduce the acid or, if possible, brush and floss immediately after eating their treats. After all, we want our children to have the treats without any tricks. 23
