Officials Streamlining Human Services With Monmouth County ACTS By Kimberly Bosco FREEHOLD – In an effort to better, and more efficiently, meet the needs of residents, Monmouth County recently launched its Monmouth ACTS program. Monmouth ACTS stands for “Assisting Community Through Services.” In collaboration with the Human Services Advisory Council as well as local non-profit organizations, county officials created Monmouth ACTS as a way to enhance access to human services resources, such as those for addiction, mental health, and homelessness. The public-private initiative was born out of a 2016 Monmouth County Human Services Needs
Assessment. The assessment surveyed the needs of residents throughout Monmouth County, as well as “the strengths, capabilities and interests of service providers and community stakeholders,” according to officials. The report following the needs assessment, entitled “A Call To Action,” worked on laying out a roadmap for filling in the gaps in human services identified in the assessment. “We found out that many Monmouth County residents struggle to have their basic needs met,” said Monmouth County Freeholder Sue Kiley, liaison to the county’s health and human services (Community - See Page 6)

By Kimberly Bosco FR EEHOLD – St udents at Freehold Township High School are helping to shape the face of the fight against Alzheimer’s – literally. On June 13, several hundred students decked out in purple gear took to the school grounds to form a human outline of New Jersey State, with the help of the statewide nonprofit, Alzheimer’s New Jersey. Alzheimer’s New Jersey is an independent non-profit that aims to address “the needs of people in New Jersey who are affected by Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, by providing programs and community partnerships that increase awareness and access to services,” according to their website. Formerly known as the Alzheimer’s Association, Greater New Jersey Chapter, the organization changed their name in 2015 in order to better reflect their “commitment to individuals and families that are impacted by Alzheimer’s and dementia right here at home in New Jersey.” Students were doing their part in bringing awareness to the devastating disease through Alzheimer’s New Jersey’s 2019 Walk to Fight Alzheimer’s. An aerial view shows hundreds of students standing shoulder to shoulder in their purple t-shirts, forming the shape of New Jersey, in solidarity with those who suffer from Alzheimer’s in our home state. Purple is the national color of the Alzheimer’s movement. According to the organization, Freehold Township High School students have raised over $100,000 for Alzheimer’s New Jersey education, support and advocacy programs over the past 15 years. These funds go towards “programs such as care consultations, family support groups, Alzheimer New Jersey’s Telephone Helpline, the Respite Care and Wellness Program, the (Awareness - See Page 4)

FRHSD Selected by Forbes as a “Best Employer” in New Jersey FREEHOLD – The Freehold Regional High School District (FRHSD) has been selected as a “best employer” in New Jersey by Forbes magazine. Forbes partnered with market research company Statista to pinpoint the organizations liked best by employees in the first-ever ranking of America’s best employers by state. In New Jersey, the Freehold Regional High School District came in at number 17, rubbing elbows with companies like Costco and Amazon. FRHSD is located in western Monmouth County, covering an area of over 200 square miles. We educate approximately 10,800 students in our six high schools and have approximately 1,300 faculty and staff members. At FRHSD, a high priority is placed on student performance and staff accountability. More than 87 percent of our students pursue higher education, including the most prestigious colleges in the nation. At all of the high schools, SAT scores consistently exceed state and national averages. Our students’ success is the result of an outstanding family of staff
who make extraordinary contributions to student academic achievement. “I am very proud to have our district appear in the top employers list by Forbes. All of our staff work tirelessly to bring a high-quality educational experience to all of our students. As a regionalized system, we are able to provide unique learning experiences for our students like our Magnet Programs, while also providing career-enhancing programs for our staff, like the Aspiring Administrators Academy,” Superintendent Charles B. Sampson said. Dr. Sampson added, “It is deeply troubling that some of our state leaders do not pay attention to honors like this and ignore the fact that our district is one of the most financially efficient and academically exceptional in New Jersey. We continue to provide stellar programs and services while spending approximately $3,000 less per pupil than like districts across the state. Funding cuts such as legislative action S2 will destroy us and change the face of education for both our students and dedicated staff.”
Freeholders & Tourism Partners Celebrate First Day of Summer KEYPORT – The Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders celebrated the first day of summer recently alongside tourism partners and elected officials in the Bayshore. Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone discussed the Bayshore community’s economic impact on Monmouth County. “This $2.6 billion tourism industry in Monmouth County is fueled by small business owners and nearly 30,000 residents who have tourism employment,” said Freeholder Director Arnone, liaison to the Department of Public Information and Tourism. “Many of those employers and employees, who are the backbone of economic development, are right here in the Bayshore region.” Monmouth County has seen a continued increase in visitor spending each year. In 2018, visitors spent nearly $2.6 billion on lodging, food, retail, recreation, transportation and second homes. “The Bayshore is a hidden gem here in Monmouth County,” said Freeholder Director Arnone. “From Keyport all the way to Sandy Hook, visitors have the same
amenities as the shoreline communities with the opportunity for new experiences and adventures.” According to the New Jersey Division of Travel and Tourism 2018 economic report, Monmouth County had an increase in visitors from 8.2 million in 2017 to 8.6 million in 2018. As a result of the increase, Monmouth County became one of the top five most visited counties in the State. “More people a re vacat ion i ng i n Monmouth County because it is truly a four-season destination where visitors can enjoy the downtowns, arts and entertainment, historical sites, parks, shopping and great restaurants,” said Freeholder Director Arnone. “On behalf of the Board of Chosen Freeholders, I am happy to welcome the first day of summer and hope you all have a safe, unforgettable summer here in Monmouth County.” For more information about Monmouth County happenings, go to tourism.visitmonmouth.com and follow Monmouth County Tourism on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Continued From Page 1 division. “Challenges such as addiction, mental health needs, homelessness and food insecurity have become more commonplace, with many people feeling isolated and unable to find the right path for help. “Through Monmouth ACTS, community groups are now working together to improve access, achieve social change and address specific problems. Working together, county non-profit organizations, along with the resources of the county, are now offering services in a cooperative way instead of working in isolated silos. This approach is already streamlining processes and access to care and is producing productive outcomes.”
Monmouth County ACTS works on addressing those needs through “hubs,” or key areas of interest identified by the Monmouth ACTS Steering Committee. The committee has determined eight major “hubs” that require more examination and streamlining by subcommittees. Theses hubs include Early Childhood Success, Positive Youth Development, Aging, Homelessness, Transportation, Financial Empowerment, Mental Health & Addictions, and Communications. “It is our ultimate desire to provide residents with easier access to human services and answer their behavioral health questions,” said Freeholder Kiley. Monmouth ACTS will provide residents one access point for a variety of human services at MonmouthACTS.org.
Freeholders Create “Contract with Monmouth County” FREEHOLD – The Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders passed a resolution pledging the commitments and initiatives of the Freeholders to the citizens of Monmouth County at their workshop meeting held on Thursday, June 13 in Freehold. “Monmouth County residents deserve a clear vision from their elected officials and the Board of Chosen Freeholders intends on continuing to provide that clarity,” said Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone. “My fellow Freeholders and I truly believe that Monmouth County is a model of efficiency in government and welcome open communication between the County and its residents.” “The Contract With Monmouth County was borne of the current environment where political discourse has become increasingly strident and vague,” said Freeholder Ger r y P. Scharfenberger, Ph.D. “We felt it important for the residents to know the foundation of our governing philosophy and to reassure them of our commitment to protecting and leading the county they love so much in the manner in which they demand.” The Board of Chosen Freeholders is making the following com mit ments to the citizens of Monmouth County through a “Contract with Monmouth County:” • The Board will continue to protect and preserve open space and expand our world class Park System. • Encou rage new and expanded development in already developed areas whenever possible. • Provide the best services to the public at the absolute lowest cost. • Lobby the Governor and Legislature to change the onerous property tax system in the State of New Jersey.
• Work with Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) to shift the burden of government from the taxpayers to the private sector through programs, such as the Faith Based Initiative. • Stand up against legislation and State mandates that adversely impact the Monmouth County taxpayers, such as the sanctuary state policy and proposed recreational marijuana legalization. • Work closely with law enforcement to enforce the law and to protect and ensure the safety of all residents and visitors of Monmouth County. • Continue to enhance and improve the County’s leading educational institutions. • Expand the already extensive number of Shared Service agreements between the County and other government entities. • Set the standard for efficiency in government administration for the State of New Jersey. • Provide world class programs through Health and Human Services that cont ribute to the qualit y of life for all residents, from early childhood to successful aging. • Keep Monmouth County a desirable place for business and economic growth to expand the commercial tax ratable base. • Work with organizations such as Habitat for Humanity to create affordable housing, while advocating for an end to court-mandated housing quotas forced upon municipalities. • Promote patriotism and protect the values and traditions that make Monmouth County “The Place You Want to Be.” For more information, go to VisitMonmouth.com.

Bill Would Protect Civilian Jobs For NJ’s National Guard Members Capitol Comments Senator Robert W. Singer 30th Legislative District, Serving Howell
National Guard members retain their civilian jobs throughout and after a State
TRENTON - Senator Bob Singer’s (R-30th) legislation to ensure New Jersey
emergency has passed the New Jersey Senate. “New Jersey’s National Guard defends our state and our country, both at home and abroad,” Singer said. “Whether they are deployed overseas, or serving their own community during a domestic disaster, these brave people should never have to worry about
losing their job when they return home. As a proud veteran, I will continue to fight to ensure no employer, especially the State of New Jersey, discriminates against an employee if they are called to serve during an emergency.” Singer’s bipartisan legislation, S-3594, provides members of the National Guard
of New Jersey with the same employment protections as those provided to members of the United States Armed Forces called to federal active duty. This includes domestic deployment during a state emergency. “Military life is tough as it is, especially when you are separated from your loved ones for extended
periods of time,” Singer added. “Coming back to the empty promise of a civilian job is frankly, a slap in the face, especially given their commendable service to our country. Together, we will take action to protect New Jersey’s active-duty personnel from employment discrimination.”

Burry, who leads this renovation project and serves on the Fort Hancock 21st Century Federal Advisory Committee. “Through the cooperative efforts between the Board of Chosen Freeholders, Vocational School District, NJROTC and Gateway National Recreation Area, reconstruction of the 19th century, historical structures will com-
mence and nurture the growth of 21st century teenagers and generations of cadets to come.” Naval Science Building 56, the smaller building, will house storage space for more than $1 million worth of Navy uniforms and equipment. Building 23 will hold classrooms, a gymnasium, showers and other facilities for the cadets. Both buildings are anticipated to open in September 2021. “There is already such rich history here at Fort Hancock as it once fortified and accommodated our courageous United States Army,” said Freeholder Burry. “I am so pleased that our collaborative, reconstruction project will continue to write history.” For more information about MAST and the Monmouth County Vocational School District, go to mcvsd.org.

Around The Jersey Shore County Supports World Elder Abuse Awareness Day
FREEHOLD – To mark World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD), The Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders is seeking to bring attention to older County residents and countless older adults who experience elder abuse, financial exploitation and neglect.
“Elder abuse is a societal issue and that is certainly growing as the world population begins to age,” said Freeholder Lillian G. Burry, liaison to the Division of Consumer Affairs. “It is so important to note that the various forms of emotional, financial, physical and psychological abuse are violations of older peoples’ human rights.” The New Jersey Office of the Attorney General, Office of the Insurance Fraud Prosecutor and New Jersey Elder Protection Task Force recently collaborated together to host the WEAAD Conference where the goal was to build and establish strong support for elders in the State. “The State and the County’s Division of
Consumer Affairs works tirelessly not only to investigate and mediate complaints, but also to educate consumers of all ages to be watchful of unscrupulous practices,” said Freeholder Burry. “On behalf of the Board of Chosen Freeholders, I would like to alert the public that the elderly are prime victims of financial abuse in our County, State and beyond. Elder financial abuse is tough to combat, in part because it often goes unreported.” According to the United Nations, WEAAD was launched on June 15, 2006 to provide an opportunity for communities around the world to promote a better understanding of abuse and neglect of the elderly. WEAAD is a call-toaction for society’s individuals, organizations and communities to educate each other on how to identify, address and prevent abuse. For more information about the Division of Consumer Affairs, go to VisitMonmouth.com, call 732-431-7900 or email ConsumerAffairs@co.monmouth.nj.us. The office is open weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

MONMOUTH COUNTY – The Monmouth County Division of Planning was recently awarded the Rutgers Sustainable Raritan River’s 2019 Government Innovation Award for its partnership with Naval Weapons Station Earle (NWS Earle) at the Richards Weeks Hall of Engineering. The partnership includes the 2017 Joint Land Use Study (JLUS), a multi-year land preservation effort under the Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration (REPI) Program, and planning for climate adaptation initiatives through the ongoing Raritan/Sandy Hook Bay Coastal Resilience Planning Study. “I am so proud to say that our County’s Division of Planning has been recognized for their innovative partnership projects with Naval Weapons Station Earle,” said Freeholder Lillian G. Burry, liaison to the Division of Planning. “The JLUS was the first of its kind nationally to focus on climate adaptation planning. It was done cooperatively with several County agencies, NWS Earle, the five municipalities surrounding the base and eight additional communities within the Military Influence Area.” The Monmouth County JLUS for NWS Earle sought to create land use strategies for compatible development alternatives that could help keep the base operational while protecting the environmental sustainability of the surrounding municipalities.
“One of the main goals of this study was to improve the land sustainability, climate resiliency and marine safety for the base and residents from coastal storms that our County experiences,” said Freeholder Burry. “The project also considered the transportation and economic development impact of this cooperative planning effort.” Completion of the JLUS led to $765,000 in federal REPI funding, which will allow the permanent preservation of farmland and open spaces around Earle to protect the station’s mission, improve water quality, protect water supply, enhance habitat restoration and improve both resiliency and stormwater management. According to its website, the Rutgers Sustainable Raritan River Initiative, launched in 2009 to assemble concerned environmental professionals, businesses and governments to craft an agenda that met the standards of the U.S. Clean Water Act to restore and preserve New Jersey’s Raritan River, its tributaries and its bay. The Initiative partners with other Rutgers schools, centers and programs to ensure the best contributions from sciences, planning and policy.

poetry, and adventure.

H ere ’ s T o Y our H ealth Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Metformin’s Pros and Cons By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Introduced in 1995 when I was just 30 years old, metformin quickly gained traction in the medical arena as the drug of choice to use in diabetes. Prior to its introduction in the United States, it had been used in France since 1957. It is sold globally by various different brand names, and in combination with other glucose-lowering agents. Metformin has some interesting uses, as well as cautions. There are an estimated 100 million people with diabetes in our country. For natural remedies, please refer to my book, Diabetes Without Drugs, which is sold on Amazon and book stores nationwide. Today, I’d like to share the pros and cons of the most popular diabetic medication in the world: Cons 1. Causes Vitamin B12 Deficiency. It is a strong drug mugger of vitamin B12, and the longer you take it, the more profound the deficiency. If you take metformin, the obvious solution is to supplement with B12 and a high-quality probiotic since probiotics happen to manufacture B12. Methylcobalamin is my suggestion, because it’s methylated and therefore, body-ready. It’s available everywhere nowadays. FYI, hair loss, poor memory recall, confusion, anemia and neuropathy are signs of B12 deficiency. 2. Questionable Prostate Benefits. The results from a brand new study on prostate cancer were disappointing. It was expected that there would be some add-on benefits, but the results showed no significant clinical benefits when metformin was given along with chemotherapy. Previous results have suggested that metformin could be useful in this regard.
3. Uncomfortable Side Effects. Metformin has side effects such as occasional heartburn, indigestion, bloating and gas, weight loss, diarrhea/constipation, weird taste in the mouth and pancreatitis. 4. May Harm Kidneys. Severe lactic acidosis is a rare but very dangerous complication of metformin, and drugs in the same category. It occurs particularly in people with kidney compromise and/or failure. Pros 1. Raises Serotonin. New research published in the June 3rd edition of The Journal of Neuroscience has concluded that metformin improves mood and reduces anxiety. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter associated with happiness, self confidence, satiety and social interaction. Deficiencies of serotonin are often exhibited as OCD, depression and anxiety. 2. Helps PCOS. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome which is characterized by weight gain, insulin resistance, cravings and skin discoloration. Metformin isn’t labeled for this disorder, however we know it works. 3. Manages Cholesterol. Metformin may help reduce total cholesterol and low density cholesterol (LDL) as well as blood pressure. Metformin may also reduce triglycerides according to some research. 4. Some Tumors Retreat. Metformin may suppress growth and improve immune function. It works by lowering blood sugar, which then improves cell receptor sensitivity (and number), which in turn controls the amount of blood sugar floating around in the blood stream. This is good because tumors and pathogens (ie fungi, viruses and bacteria) all feed on glucose, so if the sugar gets pushed into the cell then there’s less fuel to feed the pathogens and growing cells that went rogue.

Inside The Law Who is Josh Haines?
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Michael J. Deem, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
Josh Haines was injured in a car crash. His medical t reat ment lef t h i m w i t h m o r e t h a n $2 5, 0 0 0 i n unpaid medical bills. He sued the person who caused the crash for the cost of h is med ical t reat ment. I n March 2019, the NJ Supreme Court decided his case. The cour t r uled that car accident victims have to pay their own medical bills, even if they didn’t cause the accident. The Court r uled that ANY person whose auto policy has less than the “st andard” medical benef its limit has to pay for their medical treatment up to $250,000. The cou r t’s r uling has a devastating impact on low-income people who cannot afford to buy auto policies with higher coverage limits. If you are involved in an auto accident, you could be stuck with thousands of dollars in medical expenses, leading to credit problems, bankruptcy, or worse. The insurance industr y is thrilled about this decision. A nd don’t thin k you are safe if you have health insurance. If your p r ivat e he a lt h i n s u r e r p ays you r med ical bills a nd you obt ai n a

MCHD strives to build a roster of both medical and non-medical personnel who are willing to work in a team. Volunteers will participate in local exercises and drills.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of june 29 - july 5 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Put your taste to the test. Be selective when making decisions as you could live with your choice for some time to come. Use utmost tact in the upcoming week if you have to point out necessary changes to someone. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): It may be easier to go around obstacles rather than over them. If your current methods are yielding little progress, you could try something new this week. Don’t make assumptions until you know the facts. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gravitate toward your strengths. Trying to use a skill set that you are not familiar with could lead nowhere in the upcoming week, so stick to your personal areas of expertise. Willpower can’t work instant miracles - give it time. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Reports of the sky falling may be greatly exaggerated. Make sure that the info you are receiving is based upon facts and not mere speculation. Your ideas may be welcomed at the workplace in the week ahead. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Goalposts tend to shift over time. Methods that may have worked for you in the past may now be outdated, so you’ll need to adapt. Find ways to tap into the pulse of cutting-edge ideas and technology during this week. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You can’t put a label on everything. Making snap judgments about people may be close to the mark sometimes, but you’re still missing out on a lot unless you get to really know them. Keep an open mind. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): What doesn’t
kill you makes you stronger. There may be some positives to gain from an unpleasant situation which could help you in the future - rust there will be a silver lining. Accept things as they are. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Life is ever-evolving. You may need to understand that something you thought would last forever is gradually changing over time. Don’t fear the unknown this week but, instead, adapt to what is beyond your control. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22- Dec. 21): Doubt erodes confidence - resolving that you will succeed will boost your optimism. You can question methods and techniques but never question your right to shine. Conflicts could arise with those who hold differing beliefs. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22- Jan. 19): Say what you mean; you can be clear and still be kind. Trying to remain noncommittal could create unnecessary confusion. Stand by your convictions but avoid confrontations or conflicts in the upcoming week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20- Feb. 18): Weigh the pros and cons. In the week ahead take your time when pressed to make a difficult decision; the right answer may require careful deliberation. As the uncertainty clears, you’ll clearly know what to do. PISCES (Feb. 19- Mar. 20): One thing at a time - one breath at a time. Don’t let a wave of adversity overwhelm you; deal with each situation as it arises and try to keep your emotions level. Changes in plans in the week ahead shouldn’t derail your objectives.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Summer Fun! How To Turn Cheeseburger Ingredients Into Pizza By Wolfgang Puck It may have seemed like it would never arrive, but suddenly we’re heading into summer. I love this season, because it gives me the chance to spend more time with my family now that the school year is over for my two younger sons. We may travel together a little, but mostly we enjoy warm-weather activities at home, including sports, swimming and, of course, cooking and eating delicious food. I think spending time in the kitchen with your children is one of the best summer activities imaginable. It teaches them skills they can use for a lifetime. And the end result is always a wonderful meal you can enjoy together, making happy memories as a family. Since I feature pizzas in so many of my restaurants across the country and around the world, they are often on the menu when we cook at home. But in summer, it can be fun to move away from the more traditional toppings that young ones like - such as plain cheese or meatballs with tomato sauce - and instead make pizzas that seem like something only a kid might dream up. In that spirit, I am happy to share a recipe for cheeseburger pizza. It’s one we have served sometimes in my more casual restaurants, and I even sometimes make it with my friend, Chef Marian Getz, who came up with this version for one of our appearances together on the Home Shopping Network. Some people might scratch their heads when they first hear mention of cheeseburger pizza, but it makes perfect sense. After all, a pizza crust is not much different from a big, openfaced bun. Some pizzas toppings include seasoned ground meat, like a burger. Ketchup and mustard are basically sauces. And cheese is cheese, whether in a sandwich or on a pizza. Cheeseburger pizza is as all-American as you can get, right down to the American cheese slices on top. But the beauty of this simple recipe is that, just like a burger, you can customize it however you like. If your children don’t like pickles, leave them out. If they hate mustard, add extra ketchup. If you’d prefer sharp cheddar, Gruyere or some other cheese on yours, go ahead. Love bacon on your burger? Fry some up, drain, cool, chop, and then crumble it over the beef. Trying to eat less red meat? Substitute ground turkey or chicken, or even some of the surprisingly realistic vegetable-based meat substitutes that are now becoming more widely available. In short, you can make your cheeseburger pizza any way you like it, and easily. And all the while, you and your kids will be having summertime fun together in the kitchen. CHEESEBURGER PIZZA Makes 4 pizzas, each about 8 inches (20 cm) 4 6-ounce (185 g) balls Wolfgang’s Pizza Dough (recipe follows) or 4 8-to-10-inch premade rolled-out pizza dough rounds 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion 1 pound (500 g) good-quality ground beef Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 4 tablespoons tomato ketchup 4 tablespoons yellow ballpark-style mustard,
or 4 more tablespoons tomato ketchup 8 thin lengthwise slices dill pickle or 24 dill pickle chips, drained 8 slices American cheese Place a pizza stone on the oven’s middle rack. Preheat the oven to 500 F (260 C). Meanwhile, on a lightly floured work surface, stretch out the dough balls into even 8-inch (20-cm) circles, shaping the edges slightly thicker. In a large nonstick saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and saute, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon, until it begins to turn translucent. Add the ground beef, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Saute, stirring continuously and breaking up the meat with the wooden spoon, until evenly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Using a wire skimmer or slotted spoon to help leave any fat in the pan, remove the beef from the pan, spreading it out evenly on a large sheet of aluminum foil or on a cookie sheet to help it cool quickly. While the meat is cooling, combine the ketchup and mustard in a small mixing bowl, stirring well; if you don’t want mustard, use twice as much ketchup. Spread this sauce over the top of the pizza dough rounds, up to but not over the thicker edge. Evenly spread the cooled beef over the sauce. Distribute the pickle slices on top. Place one American cheese slice in the center of each pizza. Cut or tear each of the remaining slices into quarters and distributed them around the center cheese sliced on each pizza. Using a pizza paddle or rimless baking sheet, transfer the pizzas one at a time to the pizza stone, baking only as many at one time as will fit comfortably onto the stone. Bake until deep golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Then, using the paddle or baking sheet, remove from the oven to a cutting board, cut into slices, and serve, while baking any remaining pizzas. WOLFGANG’S PIZZA DOUGH Makes 4 balls, each 6 ounces (185 g) 1 package active dry yeast 1 teaspoon honey 1 cup (250 mL) warm water, 105 F to 115 F (40 C to 46 C) 3 cups (750 mL) all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in 1/4 cup (60 mL) warm water. In a food processor, combine the flour and salt. Add the oil, yeast mixture, and remaining water; process until a ball forms. Turn out onto a clean work surface and knead by hand until smooth and firm, about 3 minutes. Cover with a clean, damp towel and let rise in a cool spot for about 2 hours. Divide into 4 equal balls. Work each by pulling down the sides and tucking under. Repeat four or five times. On a smooth, unfloured surface, roll under your palm until smooth and firm, about 1 minute. Cover with a damp towel and let rest 1 hour. The balls can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for up to two days.
