By Sara Grillo HOWELL – Some Howell residents woke up to not one, but two tornadoes last Saturday morning, as heavy rainfall and strong winds ripped through par ts of Monmouth County. Fortunately, no one was injured.

Howell Police started

receiving calls about wind damage and power outages in the West Farms Road/Route 9 area as 75 mile per hour winds blew in around 7:30 a.m. They reported that clothing collection bins were picked up and tossed around, building (Tornadoes - See Page 2)

HOWELL TIMES on your...

By Sara Grillo HOWELL – Students in the 4th and 5th grade at Newbury Elementary School recently celebrated an interesting concept called Genius Hour, a movement that allows students to explore their passion and drive their own learning in the classroom.

Students are given a dedicated block of time to a form of personalized learning where they identify a topic they are passionate about, learn a specific aspect about it and then share –Photo courtesy Newbury Elementary School Vice their knowledge with the world, or in Principal Ray Gredder this case, their peer audience.

4th grade students learn about “Hands on Art” in a (Students - See Page 2) student-run session.

Continued From Page 1 faces blown away, store fronts damaged and trees uprooted. The Ideal Shopping Plaza and Home Depot on Route 9 suffered sizeable damage.

As members of the Howell Township Office of Emergency Management, Howell Police, Freewood Acres Fire Company and Monmouth County Office of Emergency Management responded and reached the scene, they saw debris on the ground comprised of tree limbs and other objects.

The National Weather Service confirmed that the first tornado touched town at 7:21 a.m. and the second touched down at 7:27 a.m. They both registered a 0 on the EF-Scale rating, which is the lowest rating on the 1-5 scale that classifies tornadoes.

The earlier tornado likely began in the Home Depot parking lot, where several trees were twisted off and a metal roof from the nearby Chase Bank was ripped off and found a half mile away. Many other large trees were found snapped off at their trunks near the West Farms Road and Route 9 jughandle as the tornado made its way southeast. Three vehicles parked in the Ideal Shopping Plaza were shoved into each other and damaged by forceful winds. The tornado was on the ground for less than two minutes.

The second tornado struck three and a half miles southeast of the first, near Oak Glen Park. The park suffered extensive damage, including a large pine tree near a soccer field that snapped at its base and several metal trash cans that tumbled over. Many other hardwood trees were also uprooted on the other side of the soccer field. As a result, Oak Glen Park was temporarily closed.

The National Weather Service was able to classify the severe weather event as a tornado from a video that was posted to social media by a resident.

SAME DAY EMERGENCY VISITS

Continued From Page 1 All those blocks of time culminated into a Genius Hour Unconference, where students were given a “menu” of topics they could chose to learn about from their peers, similar to an agenda. They were free to plan out their day and chose four, 15-minute presentations that they were most interested in learning about. They also created and watched short video testimonials answering the question, “What does passion mean to you?” about each other’s projects, to get a better idea of which presentations to see.

Topics were certainly creative and took place in nearly every room of the school – from gymnastics demonstrations in the gym to splatter paint tutorials in the art room. Some real world issues and trending topics were also explored, such as how Fitbits affect people’s health and the effects of global warming.

“The entire day, from presentations to selecting which topics to visit, is part of a push to personalize learning and create a sense of inspiration, accountability and motivate students through intrinsic rewards,” said Newbury Elementary School Vice Principal Ray Gredder. “No rewards, no ribbons or trophies were given out, it was just a great day where students chose their own path to learning and enjoyed the pursuit of knowledge.”

Besides creating their own path to learning, students also gained valuable presentation skills, such as how to engage and captivate an audience – a skill they are bound to need later in life, too.

Continued From Page 1 with energy while retaining the charm of an old-fashioned county fair.

“The Fair is the ultimate showcase of so many of the wonderful aspects about life here in Monmouth County,” Freeholder Director Lillian G. Burry said. “From the Sheriff’s Department to our agriculture-based organizations, to the Public Works Department, and many other opportunities for entertainment, there is something for everyone to enjoy over the five days of the event. Bring your family and friends and experience first-hand some of the special people and programs that make up this great county!”

Each day of the Fair is filled with exciting acts such as Hell on Wheels - BMX Stunt Show and World of Wonders & Escape Explosions.

Fairgoers will delight in returning favorites including Hilby the Skinny German Juggle Boy, Mutts Gone Nuts, Robinson’s Racing Pigs, and Bwana Jim’s Wildlife Show. In addition, there will be strolling entertainment, food, games and rides.

Sure to delight thrill seekers of all ages, the rides are once again provided by Reithoffer Shows and will feature a separate Kids Zone Area. Even better, ride wristbands will be available daily to allow fairgoers the chance to enjoy unlimited rides during their visit.

The cost per day for a wristband is $25 on Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday; and $30 on Friday and Saturday. Single ride tickets will also be available daily. Please note that rides are weather permitting.

Live music is always a big part of the Fair

and this year’s performers promise to deliver.

Wednesday night brings Moroccan Sheepherders to the main stage while Jackson Pines performs on Thursday. Lakehouse Music Academy takes the stage on Friday while local artist Nicole Atkins performs on Saturday. The last act to take the main stage is The Chuck Lambert Band on Sunday.

Those looking for the feel of a traditional county fair should head over to the Home and Garden Competition and see the county’s finest baked goods, vegetables, flowers and arts and craft pieces. In addition to the displays, there will be ongoing beekeeping, gardening and pottery demonstrations.

Delve deeper into Monmouth County’s agricultural roots by visiting the Living History Tent and meeting with staff from the Park System’s Historic Walnford in Upper Freehold and Historic Longstreet Farm in Holmdel. This year’s tent focuses on farm life in the 1890s.

Then be sure to stop by the FFA of Monmouth County’s farm stand where Jersey fresh fruits, vegetables and cut flowers are available for purchase. The Fair also features 4-H animal shows and exhibits.

The Fair is open 5-11 p.m. on Wednesday to Friday, July 26-28; 3-11 p.m. on Saturday, July 29 and 11 a.m.-6 p.m. on Sunday, July 30.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials

Mayor Berger Thanks Howell Police Department From The Desk Of...

Howell Mayor Theresa Berger HOWELL – As the Mayor of Howell, I take pride of all the government institutions that work to create the wonderful and neighborly community that Howell is. At the heart of this community

lies the Police Department, who go above and beyond to make sure the residents of Howell are protected and kept safe. The Howell Police Department exemplifies that by truly investing a stake into

the well-being of the town that they serve. It makes the Mayoral position that much more fulfilling when you have a police department that has the best interests of the public at heart.

For as long as I have been a resident, I have witnessed more times than I can count the incredible generosity and spirt that the members of the police force have given back. When you can open a paper, and see the headline of a 7-year-old boy bravely

battling cancer honored with a custom toy motorcycle from the police, you know that it speaks volumes for their charitableness. He was even made an honorary officer of the day, his relentless spirit reflecting that of the police department.

I have seen them proudly wear badges on their uniforms in support of amazing causes such as autism and breast cancer awareness, get recognized for keeping the roadways safe from im-

paired drivers, and jump up to answer late night distress calls of those in need. These men and women continue to keep watch over all of us and they deserve our support. The Howell Police Department is an essential part of building a strong public safety model that requires all our support to help strengthen and nourish.

The Howell Police and I share a vision of building trusting relationships with the members of the public and controlling any crime or

misconduct that will help us all strive towards creating a unified and thriving township.

I want to express how incredibly proud of the protected environment that these resolute officers have crafted for us. I am looking forward to continuing to work with them and build upon their foundation of good will and generosity. It is with the utmost respect and esteem for our Howell Police Department that I once again thank them for all their hard work and diligence.

Senator Singer’s “High School To College Readiness Commission” Heads To Governor Capitol Comments Senator Robert W. Singer 30th Legislative District, Serving Howell

NEW JERSEY – The New Jersey Senate has passed legislation sponsored by Senator Robert Singer (R-Monmouth) to explore how the state can better prepare high school students for postsecondary education.

Sen. Robert Singer’s bill establishes the “High School

to College Readiness Commission” to explore how the state can better prepare high school students for college and careers.

S-2567 would establish t he 18 - me mb e r “ H ig h School to College Readiness Commission,” which would be charged with developing recommendations

to enhance preparation for post-secondary education; and raise awareness among parents and students on admission requirements and other related issues.

“Less than half of all high school students feel prepared to go to college or start a career after graduation. Clearly, we can do more to help these young people gain the confidence, tools, and the knowledge to succeed once they enter the real world.” Senator Singer (R-Monmouth, Ocean) said.

“The High School to College Readiness Commission will give both parents and

students the information they need to skyrocket to the top of every classroom and professional environment. I look forward to seeing it signed into law and reviewing their findings in the year that follows,” Singer, a longtime member of the Senate Higher Education Committee, added.

The commission established by Singer’s S-2567 would include: two parents of public school students, the Education Commis-

sioner, Secretary of Higher Education, representatives from various school board and education-related associations, including 11 appointed by the Governor; two members appointed by the Senate President, and two members appointed by the Assembly Speaker.

Members appointed to the commission would serve wit hout compensat ion.

Staff and support services would be provided by the NJ Department of Educa-

tion.

Under the bill, the commission must issue a report of its findings and recommendations to the Governor and to the Legislature no later than one year following its organizational meeting.

The legislation passed the Assembly on June 8 and now heads to the Governor’s Desk for final approval. If enacted, the commission would have 30 days following the appointment of its members to get started.

This conference, now in its 58th year, will be held July 9-15 at the National 4-H Youth Conference Center in Chevy Chase, Maryland.

Citizenship Washington Focus is a 4-H leadership program for high school youth.

Delegations from across the country attend this six-day program at the National 4-H Youth Conference Center, located just outside Washington, D.C. The program is aimed at enriching young people’s lives by broadening their appreciation and respect for themselves and others in the world.

Participants attend workshops, committee meetings, field trips and social events, giving them hands-on opportunities to learn and grow. They learn and practice skills that will make them better citizens and more successful individuals.

During the week, program participants

will also have the opportunity to visit local Washington, D.C. landmarks including the Capitol, Mount Vernon, Arlington National Cemetery, Presidential and war monuments and memorials, as well as Smithsonian museums.

“The conference provides opportunities for young people to identify individual citizenship rights and responsibilities; identify issues facing youth and explore causes and possible solutions; establish communication with law makers; witness government in action; and develop a personal citizenship action plan,” says Virginia Krzyzanowski, 4-H Program Associate.

Financial assistance for travel and tuition costs was provided by the State 4-H Association and the Monmouth County 4-H Volunteer Association and the Monmouth County Board of Agriculture.

For more information about the Monmouth County 4-H Program call the 4-H Office at 732-431-7260 or visit the 4-H website at nj4h.rutgers.edu.

OCEAN COUNTY – The National Alliance on Mental Illness Ocean County offers a free, six-session educational program for family, significant others and friends of people living with mental illness.

You can also help others through your own experience. In the program, you will learn about:

How to manage crises, solve problems and communicate effectively.

Taking care of yourself and managing your stress.

Developing the confidence and stamina to provide support with compassion.

Finding and using local supports and services.

Up-to-date information on mental health conditions and how they affect the brain.

MONMOUTH COUNTY – New Jersey Blood Services is conducting several blood drives in Monmouth County that are open to the public: Friday, July 7 at Monmouth Mall, 180 State Route 35 in Eatontown from 2 to 8 p.m.

Thursday, July 13 at Most Holy Redeemer, 133 Amboy Road in Matawan from 2 to 8 p.m.

Friday, July 14 at Freehold Raceway Mall, 3710 Route 9 in Freehold from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

New Jersey Blood Services, a division of New York Blood Center, is asking for help to maintain an adequate supply of all blood types, but especially O-negative – the “universal” blood which can be transfused into anyone in an emergency. In addition, hundreds of additional blood drives need to be scheduled to meet projected hospital demand. Current inventory of several blood types is running below the desired target level.

“It’s simple: hospital patient demand for blood often outpaces our best efforts to recruit donors and schedule blood drives,” said New York Blood Center Executive Director of Donor Recruitment

Andrea Cefarelli. “There are always reasons but we have to overcome that for the sake of hospital patients who need us.”

Blood products have a short shelf life – from five to 42 days, so constant replenishment is necessary. Each and every day there are patients who depend on the transfusion of red blood cells, platelets and plasma to stay alive. But blood and blood products can’t be manufactured.

They can only come from volunteer blood donors who take an hour to attend a blood drive or visit a donor center.

To donate blood or for information on how to organize a blood drive, please call Toll Free: 1-800-933-2566 or visit nybloodcenter.org.

Blood donors receive free mini-medical exams on site, including information about their temperature, blood pressure and hematocrit level. Eligible donors include those people at least age 16 (with parental permission or consent), who weigh a minimum of 110 pounds, are in good health, and meet all Food & Drug Administration and NY or NJ State Department of Health donor criteria. People over 75 may donate with a doctor’s note.

Support For New Jersey Heart And Stroke Patients

NEW JERSEY – After a heart attack or stroke, following the doctor’s orders is important for physical recovery, but emotional support is just as important for cardiac and stroke survivors.

The American Heart Association and American Stroke Association offers an online Support Network to help heart and stroke patients, as well as their families and caregivers. Like a conventional support group, the Support Network connects patients who are going through similar journeys. The monitored Network also gives individuals access to experts via online chats and webinars, as well as personal insights from fellow survivors and caregivers.

It’s common for people to feel depressed, isolated and overwhelmed after having a heart attack or stroke. Remember, you are not alone. About 85.6 million Americans are living with some form of cardiovascular disease or the after-effects of stroke, and research suggests as many as 30–50 percent of stroke survivors develop depres-

sion in the early or later phases post stroke.

“Emotional support is extremely important to recovering patients and caregivers,” asserts Stacy Quinn, a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) survivor and volunteer for the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association. “Feeling alone and becoming depressed are common after a heart attack or stroke. Interacting and connecting with others who have been through the same thing can help ease those feelings.”

The Support Network is a place to ask questions, find helpful information and tips, and share concerns or fears. Encouragement and inspiration can be found here, as well as the opportunity to offer your own words of wisdom and reassurance. The Network also provides information and materials for starting face-to-face community-based support groups and resources for healthier living.

To get involved and start the journey to emotional healing, visit heart.org/ SupportNetwork or StrokeAssocation.org/ SupportNetwork.

7 Reasons You Don’t Sleep Like A Baby

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Chronic sleep deprivation causes you to crave more junk food, skip your exercise routine and deflate your mood. The only real way to cure insomnia is to find out why it’s occurring in the first place.

Don’t just take sleeping pills to knock yourself out, consider the impediments to sleeping like a baby and fix those. Here are 7 reasons you don’t sleep like a baby: 1. Timing: If you’re accidentally taking stimulating medication at night instead of the morning, you will not sleep well.

A fellow gym-rat told me she takes her Synthroid at 7 p.m. and my neighbor uses his Albuterol (ashtma inhaler) at bedtime. Both of these medications are ideally taken in the morning because they will keep you up at night. That said, if you wake up some nights coughing, or with chest tightness, you could certainly use your inhaler at night, but bronchodilators that are prescribed for general maintenance are best used during daytime hours.

2. Medical Conditions: What if you have Hashimoto’s or Graves’ disease? Both of these conditions cause erratic changes in thyroid hormone which can block sleep.

Untreated acid reflux is another common cause for poor, unrefreshing sleep. Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease cause disruptions in the natural sleep-wake cycle and if you are in the beginning stages, you may not even realize you have these conditions brewing. Type 2 diabetes will disturb your sleep due to the frequent urges to urinate.

3. Allergies. You might think I’m simply referring to hay fever, and while that

certainly will keep you up at night, I’m thinking bigger. When I say allergies, I mean everything that could possibly annoy your immune system from the warm milk you drank before bedtime, to the goose down duvet, to the flannel sheets, and the polyester rug under your bed, to the dust on your fan blades, to dust mites in general… to cat or dog fur and so on. Histamine release will keep you up at night, not to mention the miserable symptoms.

4. Temperature: Personally if it’s too hot, I can’t sleep. I like the bedroom cold, but Sam likes it warm and cozy, so on cold, snowy Colorado nights I leave our window open but I give Sam a microwaveable hot pack.

5. Chronic pain: Only 36 percent of chronic pain sufferers enjoy regular, good sleep according to the National Sleep Foundation.

6. Green Tea: It makes some people alert due to the minor caffeine content.

It doesn’t make everyone sleep like you may have thought.

7. Drinking coffee: Most of you know not to drink coffee at night for obvious reasons (the caffeine), but what you don’t know is that coffee is a drug mugger of magnesium. This mineral is a natural chill pill, and it helps your muscles relax. Magnesium is thought to be a calming mineral so coffee drinkers are up against potential mag deficiency, and therefore more prone to migraines, insomnia and sadness. Drinking decaf doesn’t matter because decaf coffee still contains chlorogenic acid, which is the compound that mugs the magnesium.

Dear Joel, My friend is very superstitious. If the stars aren’t “right” she will cancel our plans. Once we were late for our dinner reservation because we had to turn back home when she realized she forgot her charm bag. She’s a loyal friend and we share a great many belly laughs when we can get together, but I feel like I’m second fiddle to an astrology chart. How can I get her to put this mumbo jumbo aside?

Inside The Law Your Attorney Can Assist Your Mortgage Approval Process

By Robert C. Shea and Dine Vicari, Esq. of R.C. Shea and Associates

The very necessary but intensive part of your quest to close on your new home will be providing your mortgage representative with all of the financial records and additional information they require. Equally, during a re-finance of your existing home, many of the financial records will be required. In either of these situations, the process is started by the application process and moves through the underwriting process until the loan is clear to close. During this time period which may span from 30 days to several months, depending on the complexity of the loan program, there are several things to remember as to not hinder a smooth closing, which your Attorney can assist with.

First, as an applicant, you never want to open new credit cards, switch credit card balances to new credit cards, or make large purchases on existing credit cards.

Even the smallest of purchases on a new card may open up a much larger available line of credit. This is important to remember when you are paying for movers or looking to purchase new appliances and/ or furniture for your new home. All of these actions can disrupt your income to debt ratio which can be a major obstacle in getting to that clear to close position.

Make sure prior to utilizing any credit that it is discussed with your Attorney and mortgage representative to avoid delays in obtaining clearance to close your loan.

Second, in a situation where you may be re-financing your existing home or purchasing a home that requires repairs prior to closing, make sure all home improvements/repairs that may be on going are complete prior to the appraisal being performed. One of the steps of any loan is to have a formal appraisal complet-

ed. To avoid a delay, make sure you properly plan the timing of your appraisal. Timing of the appraisal should be discussed with your Attorney and mortgage representative to ensure that there are no on-going improvements within the property that would require a re-appraisal that will cost an additional fee.

Third, it is important to make sure you are prepared for closing and have enough money saved to bring to the closing table.

At the time of closing there are lender costs and third party costs, such as payments to insurance companies, surveyors, title companies, home owner associations, tax office, municipal utilities, and many more, which must be paid at closing. It is important to communicate with your Attorney and mortgage lender to review all of your closing costs that you will be responsible for at the time of closing.

CREAM RIDGE – Pitties & Pals Rescue, Inc. will hold its first annual Putting For Pooches golf classic to raise money for its rescue efforts on Friday, October 6 at Gambler’s Ridge Golf Club in Cream Ridge.

Pitties & Pals Rescue, Inc. is a New Jersey based 501c3, whose mission is to rescue dogs that are in danger of being euthanized from local animal shelters and to educate the public. Although their main focus is the bully breed, they are committed to all dogs in need. They do not have a facility so their dogs are either in foster homes or boarding which requires much needed funds.

Registration and check-in will begin at 11:30 a.m. The driving range will be open prior to the start of the shotgun tournament at 1 p.m.

The entry fee for each golfer for the October 6 event is $125, which includes both lunch and dinner. Hole Sponsorships are available for $100 each, as well as lunch dinner and beverage sponsorships. Individuals who do not wish to golf may make a $35 donation and attend a buffet dinner at 6 p.m. There will also be a 50/50 raffle, prizes and other raffles.

At this time, Pitties and Pals is also seeking qualified fosters and adopters for dogs of all

breeds. All costs associated with the care of the dog are paid for by Pitties & Pals during the fostering process, including, food, vet care, etc.

We are also in need of volunteers to help us achieve our goals. As a volunteer, there are many things you can do and there is something for everyone! Also, if you are willing to make a donation, Pitties and Pals relies strictly on donations from the public.

They are instrumental in helping our rescue grow and all amounts are welcome. We encourage you to help save a life by fostering or adopting a dog in need.

For more information and for online registration for the golf outing and sponsorships, or to learn more about Pitties & Pals Rescue, Inc., please visit pittiesandpals.com. For questions regarding the golf outing, please contact Bonnie Barrington at 732-814-9889.

If you are interested in fostering or adopting, please email us at PittiesAndPalsRescue@yahoo.com. You can also check out our website at PittiesandPals.com or Facebook @PittiesandPalsRescue where you can view the dogs available for foster/adoption and our upcoming fundraising events.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast

For the week of July 1 - July 7

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Flashes of genius are like a genie in a bottle. You may need to rub a little harder to get the wish granted. Mental restlessness may send you chasing rainbows down dead end alleys this week.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It is easy to be sidetracked by social gatherings. Slacking off in the week ahead will cause you to lose momentum. Keep your opinions to yourself and rely on trusted companions rather than strangers.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): There are some cross currents going on behind the scenes. Although you are forging forward, others may secretly resent your freedom. Be polite and considerate toward others in the week ahead.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Employ your energy to be excellent. In the week ahead your creativity is energized and you can get more accomplished than usual. However, be cautious about spending and using credit cards.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Face up to your fantasies. In the week to come you might be misled by your imagination or see only what you wish to see. You might feel out of place in group activities or social events.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Keep a smile on your face as the week goes by. People may wonder just what you have been up to. An air of mystery will help you impress others and may pay off financially, as well as romantically.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): People may jockey for position and set their sights on lofty goals but you remain balanced this week.

Ruthless ambition may not appeal to you, but be aware it is a sweet attraction for associates.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The week ahead may offer opportunities for amusing yourself with hobbies or playtime activities.

Even if there is no time for a hand’s on approach you can read or study your favorite subject.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Walk the straight and narrow path. Ignore the wild geese and refuse to chase after them. Don’t waste money on things that do not come with a written guarantee in the week ahead.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Focus on the facts rather than your fantasies. As this week unfolds you might not be at your best in one-on-one negotiations. Be cautious about the fine print if you must sign a contract.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Rest on your laurels. Confidential situations could come to light that can be used to your advantage in the week ahead. Don’t take important steps as surface appearances could be misleading.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Work to make long range plans a reality as this week unfolds. Tap into the energy of a creative muse and you will find yourself making some powerful moves, and enjoying it as well.

Summer STEM Camp Comes To Howell Middle School North

HOWELL – Camp Invention, a nationally recognized, non-profit summer enrichment camp program, is coming to Howell Middle School North the week of August 14 to 17.

Camp Invention is a program of the National Inventors Hall of Fame, a non-profit organization dedicated to recognizing inventors and invention, promoting creativity and advancing the spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship. What makes this camp truly unique is that the curriculum is inspired by some of our nation’s most brilliant minds – the Inductees of the National Inventors Hall of Fame.

For students entering kindergarten through sixth grade, Camp Invention is a weeklong adventure that turns summer from ordinary to extraordinary through hands-on problem solving, collaboration and the use of STEM – science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

Inventive young minds can exercise their creativity and use their imagination, all while learning and developing new skills they might not get to use in the classroom.

Children are empowered to have big ideas while they take on challenges that inspire them to question, brainstorm, work as a team

and build amazing invention prototypes.

This year’s fresh, action-packed Camp Invention curriculum features several handson modules: Duct Tape Billionaire™: Campers design duct tape products they can market and sell to mock investors.

Have a Blast™: Children build high-tech Bubble Blasters and compete as a team in friendly air battles that use physics to boost their advantage.

Mission Space Makers™: Teams hatch eggs, sprout living plants and grow crystal trees, all while on a mission to locate and prepare a new planet for human habitation.

Operation Keep Out™: Campers learn to reverse engineer old machines and devices and use their parts to create the ultimate Spy Gadget Alarm Box. All local Camp Invention programs are facilitated and taught by certified educators who reside and teach in the community.

Camp Invention serves more than 130,000 students every year and partners with more than 1,400 schools and districts across the nation.

Pizza Party: Welcome Summer With A New Approach To Barbecue

By Wolfgang Puck

Summer is now officially here, and everyone seems to be craving barbecue. Of course, that word can mean different things to different people, from the slowly smoked meat of the American South or Midwest to the Caribbean- and Mexican-influenced spicy barbacoa of the Southwest to the quickly grilled foods many people think of as barbecue in Southern California.

But when I first opened my Spago restaurant in 1982, we came up with yet another definition by translating so many of barbecue’s familiar elements into something I called a barbecue chicken pizza. It’s a dish my customers still ask for today; some of them have even learned to make it in their own homes.And besides being as delicious as it sounds, one of the best things about it is that you don’t even need a barbecue or grill to prepare it.

My barbecue chicken pizza combines so many of the qualities that people everywhere look for in great barbecued food. There’s the boneless, skinless chicken that so many people in California and elsewhere like to cook quickly over an open fire; but here, I use already cooked chicken, either leftover from another meal or conveniently purchased at the supermarket.

For the sauce, I use a good, thick bottled variety like the K.C. Masterpiece brand; but you can use any you prefer. And then, for Southwestern spice, I include some minced jalapeno chile; though you could substitute crushed red pepper flakes, if you like, or leave it out completely if you want something milder.

The other parts of this pizza will probably remind you of what people like about any good pizza. I use my own homemade dough, though you could certainly substitute any good-quality pizza dough you find at the market. After rolling but before topping and baking it, I lightly brush the dough with some olive oil, which helps it brown nicely and adds a hint of the olive’s fruity green flavor. I also brush a little more oil on the crust after the pizza comes out of the oven. For more flavor and texture, I add sun-dried tomatoes and sliced red onion, though you could substitute others.

Then, of course, there’s the cheese - and not just one.

I use a mixture of mozzarella and fontina, and then add some freshly grated Parmesan when the pizza comes out of the oven. Feel free to substitute your own favorite combination, if you like.

All these elements add up to a something that somehow feels both traditional and modern. And with no barbecue or grill in sight, it tastes, remarkably, like great barbecue, no matter how you define it!

WOLFGANG’S BARBECUE CHICKEN PIZZA Makes 4 pizzas, each 8 to 10 inches (20 to 25 cm) 1 pound (500 g) leftover or store-bought boneless, skinless grilled or roasted chicken, cut into bite-sized chunks 4 tablespoons minced jalapeno chile 1 cup (250 mL) bottled barbecue sauce Wolfgang’s Pizza Dough (recipe follows) Extra-virgin olive oil 2 cups (500 mL) shredded mozzarella cheese 2 cups (500 mL) shredded fontina cheese 1 small red onion, thinly sliced 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, thinly sliced 2 ounces (60 g) fresh goat cheese

1 bunch fresh cilantro or parsley, leaves coarsely chopped 1/4 cup (60 mL) freshly grated Parmesan cheese Preheat the oven to 450 F (230 C). Put a baking stone in the oven at least 30 minutes before making the pizza.

In a bowl, toss the chicken with the jalapeno and barbecue sauce. Set aside.

Shape each pizza as directed in the dough recipe.

Brush with olive oil and evenly sprinkle with mozzarella and fontina. Top with chicken, red onions and tomatoes; dot with goat cheese.

Using a lightly floured baker’s peel or rimless baking sheet, slide a pizza onto the baking stone and bake until nicely browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Carefully transfer to a cutting board. Repeat with the remaining 3 pizzas.

Brush each pizza’s crust with olive oil. Garnish with cilantro or parsley and Parmesan. Cut into slices with a pizza cutter or large, sharp knife. Serve immediately.

WOLFGANG’S PIZZA DOUGH Makes enough for 4 pizzas 1 packet active dry yeast 1 1/2 cups warm water, 105 to 115 F (40 to 46 C) 1 tablespoon honey Extra-virgin olive oil 3 to 4 cups (750 mL to 1 L) all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt In the bowl of a stand mixer, dissolve the yeast in the water. Stir in the honey. Leave until cloudy, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons oil.

Combine 3 cups (750 mL) flour with the salt and add all at once to the yeast mixture. Mix at low speed using the paddle attachment. When the dough forms, change to the dough hook; knead at low speed for 2 minutes, then at medium speed until the dough comes away cleanly from the side of the bowl and clusters around the hook, 5 to 7 minutes.

Turn out the dough onto a clean work surface.

Knead by hand 2 to 3 minutes, adding flour as needed, until smooth and elastic. Transfer to a clean, lightly oiled bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and leave at warm room temperature to rise for 30 minutes to 1 hour. When ready, the dough will stretch without tearing when gently pulled.

Divide the dough into four equal balls. Shape each by gently pulling the sides and tucking them under the bottom, working around the ball four or five times. On a smooth, unfloured surface, roll each ball under your palm until smooth and firm, about 1 minute. Put the balls on a tray or platter, cover with oiled plastic wrap or a damp towel, and leave to rest for at least 30 minutes. At this point, the balls can be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated for one to two days; they will need to be punched down when you are ready to roll them out.

To shape a pizza, place a dough ball on a lightly floured surface. Turn the dough as you press down on the center with the heel of your hand, gradually spreading it out to an 8-to-10-inch (20-to-25-cm) circle; or use a rolling pin. Pinch a slightly thicker raised rim. Transfer to a lightly oiled pizza pan, or bake directly on the stone.
