Hampton High School in Allison Park is the only high school in the United States with a mascot of a Talbot. What's a Talbot you might ask? It's an extinct hunting dog from Great Britain. It was a fierce and strong dog and known for its loyalty. Recently the dog has come under scrutiny because of some dog fighting on the other side of the state of Pennsylvania. Hampton Heights township, located about and hour northwest of the Philadelphia region has another dog mascot. The Afghan hound. Which is known for its long distance running ability. This actually make sense since a number of athletes in the past 20 years have went to the state and local championships in cross country and track. Hampton Heights Afghans' have had their mascot for years. Hampton has had theirs since the school started in 1933 when it was just a small farm house. Rumor had it an actual Talbot roamed the farm and would kill any animals that bother the farm animals. This was never confirmed though. Some Hampton residents seem its time to change the mascot from such a violent canine, like the Talbot, to something more desirable like a Toy Poodle or a Blankton Terrier which is known for its ability to soothe children and the elderly in times of need. One resident stated "With all the violence in the world I think our kids would be better off without the aggressive dog. Perhaps and miniature weiner dog?" Another was against the change. "Why change what has been tradition for so long?" Hampton Heights changed their mascot in 1983 from a Pit Bull when students realized the teachers may have been responsible for a small dog fighting ring in the early 1980's in the area. Although never confirmed, there were multiple arrests but no convictions. Now the Hampton Heights residents want Hampton township to follow in their footsteps. What do you think?

    whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

    two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
