Eagle Scout
Completes Paver Project At Church
n Aug.16, Troop 156 held an Eagle Scout Court

of Honor for Anthony Polk at St. Jude Parish
Church in Budd Lake. Anthony earned his
Eagle award on May 14.
For his Eagle project, Tony wanted to give back to an
organization that had given so much to him and his family. He always knew that he was going to do it for St.
Jude's Church. The project was a pathway from the back
entrance by the parish center to the prayer garden in the
back. The prayer garden was built many years ago, and
the main access path was from the parking lot. Many
people would walk across the grass from the back
entrance of the church in order to get to the prayer garden.
Tony met with the Building and Grounds committee
of the church in order to get the project approved. The
path is about 18 ft. long and four-feet wide. The project
helpers started digging in November, but at the end of
November, there was snow, delaying the project.
Tony chose paver blocks that matched the Prayer
Garden paver colors, in order to make it look as uniform
as possible. He used rubber stepping stones to connect
the path through the mulch that surrounded the Prayer
Garden.
A senior at Mt. Olive High School, Tony plans to pursue a career in music production and engineering. His
plan is to start his education at CCM after high school
and then finish in NYC.
Tony is pictured with his Eagle Scout shadow box which was a
gift to him from the Troop.

Choosing The
Right Invisalign Provider
nvisalign offers many benefits for

those who desire straighter teeth. With
so many dentists now doing Invisalign,
how does one choose?
Like a general dentist, an orthodontist
must first receive their doctorate in general dentistry. After this, they must complete
an additional two to three years of graduate training in orthodontics. As a specialist, the orthodontist limits his or her time
exclusively to orthodontic treatments.
When someone chooses to go to a dentist
for Invisalign, treatment is given, but not
the additional education and experience
that comes with choosing an orthodontist.
The patient benefits from the additional
training the orthodontist has acquired.

Choosing an experienced doctor can
make all the difference. By selecting a
Premier Invisalign Provider, a provider is
chosen who is ranked in the top 10 percentile of all Invisalign providers. This
ranking is based on the experience of the
doctor and the number of patients they
have successfully treated. Dr. Eric Frank,
an orthodontist at Seidner Dentistry and
Associates in Randolph, recently has been
recognized as one of the top 10 percent
Invisalign Providers in the country. To
schedule an orthodontic evaluation, visit
www.randolphnjdentist.com or call 973598-9555.

Cats In Mt. Olive Get TLC From TNR Project
By Cheryl Conway
he Mt. Olive TNR Project has been quite effective in controlling local feral and stray cats since
the project began six years ago.
Colonies have been identified; feral cats have been
trapped, neutered and returned (TNR) to their environments; and friendly cats have been fostered or adopted
out to loving families. The numbers of stray cat communities that existed are no longer a nuisance and if any
calls do come in, the call involves an individual cat
which is then taken in by TNR and given lots of TLCtender, loving care.
The focus of Mt. Olive TNR now is to find more families willing to foster or adopt cats, particularly adult
cats; have more cat owners utilize the Resident Spay
Neuter Program; and continue to advocate for donations
as the local TNR program is fully conducted by volunteers.
We have a few feral colonies but they are all friendly, says Mt. Olive TNR Volunteer Lisa Monteleone.
The town is effectively no kill. For more than six
years, the Mt. Olive TNR project has worked with close
to 900 cats in some capacity.
When a call comes in regarding a cat that is homeless
or lost, it gets impounded for seven days then turned
over to us, says Monteleone. All animals go to us

even those that are sick; those with broken bones, neurological problems. Volunteers either found homes for
them or nursed them back to help.
Since 2009, Mt. Olive TNR volunteers have dedicated their time to identifying feral cat colonies in Mt.
Olive, trapping them for spay/neutering, vaccines and
veterinary care and then releasing them back to the
colony if they are feral or unsocialized, or fostering
them out until a suitable home is identified for adoption.
We have several feral communities that are still
existing, says Monteleone, but all have a caretaker who
retraps them for vaccines. They are all thriving but not
reproducing.
The number of strays has been reduced. We do get
some calls of cats that show up on peoples yards; we
grab them; get them micro-chipped.
There are currently 20 steady volunteers involved
with the TNR program. More help is needed, however,
in terms of fosterers, particularly for adult cats.
We have several adult cats that need homes, says
Monteleone. Needed is volunteers to provide love and
care; we provide medical care, will bring them to
appointments; we supply vaccines and food. All they
need to provide is a loving home until they get adopted.
We try to find the forever home.
Monteleone is also calling on cat owners to take

help with the cost.
Cats that are spayed and neutered are
less of a nuisance, she explains, and this
also decreases the number of friendly
cats that end up impounded.
A neutered cat is a happy cat, says
Monteleone, or less of a problematic
cat.
A male cat that is not neutered is
known for urine spraying, in which it
sprays urine even in the owners house as
a territorial behavior. An unneutered
males urine is more odorous; they shoot
urine up your walls. Their behavior
tends to be more aggressive and they
want to get out of the house, start scratching on the door and tend to want to fight.
Sometime they howl because they
want to get out, she explains.
Female cats will also act more aggressive, she says. She will want to get out;
she will try to get out. All of their instinct
is telling them its time to mate.
Monteleone explains that the goal is to
control the cat population as the average
litter is five to seven kittens, with female

cats are able to produce a litter every 12
weeks.
A cat is pregnant for nine weeks;
once shes had a litter she can go right
back into heat again, she says.
The amount of unwanted kittens is
astronomical, she says. If we dont
have a family, we call a shelter.
The problem is most people want to
adopt kittens and not cats, explains
Monteleone. Kittens, however, cant be
adopted out before eight to ten weeks;
after that they start looking like a cat but
then its harder to adopt them out.
Theres far too many of them.
Donations, whether cash or supplies,
toward the Mt. Olive TNR project are
always welcome and greatly appreciated.
We are completely funded by donations, says Monteleone, except for a few
grants.
For more information, to foster, adopt
or sign up for the spay neuter program,
go to mtolivetnr.org or call 973-8046273.

and a doctorate of chiropractic from New
York Chiropractic College in 1999.
Mahers interest in becoming a chiropractor stems from his high school years
when his multiple injuries in football caused
low back and shoulder pain, driving him to
a chiropractor for care.
I visited a chiropractor a lot and got
interested in the field, says Maher. While in
college, Maher shadowed a chiropractor to
learn more about the profession.
I like the approach that you can heal the
body without medication, says Maher, who
also followed in his brothers steps- Dr. John
Maher who practices at Greater Philadelphia
Chiropractic in Pa. I fell in love with chiropractic. You can treat so many injuries and
get great results.
Maher uses a very hands on approach
in his work. I use diversified adjustment.
He specializes in muscular skeletal complaints such as muscular and sports injuries.
I treat a wide variety of musculoskeletal
complaints, says Maher. Its an individual
treatment protocol; its specific to each
injury. I look to fix the cause rather than the
symptoms so its not reoccurring.

we are working on the low back region and
all the associated musculature. We work on
getting the inflammation out of the associated joints and reducing the muscular spasm

Schools In MO Kick Off Year With New Upgrades
By Cheryl Conway
new school year is underway and in Mt. Olive
upgrades galore- from a new administration
building and other facility enhancements, to the
latest in technology such as hundreds of more
ChromeBooks, new robots, SMART boards, laptop
computers for elementary students, STEM equipment
and 3D printers.
While textbooks still exist, more teachers are utilizing online textbooks and google classroom for information and communication.
As always, we have planned a host of improvements
to make our mission of preparing our students for the
future easier, says Dr. Larrie Reynolds, superintendent
of Mt. Olive schools. A host of exciting new learning
tools are on the way and should be available by day one
of the 2015-16 school year.
He says, Another 400 ChromeBook computers are
now available for junior and senior classes at MOHS.
In addition, the middle school is getting a grade levels
worth of additional computing machines as well.
We hope to see every core middle and high school
teacher with access to a class-set of fully functional
computers by the end of September, says Reynolds.
Elementary schools will have additional machines as
well. By October, our goal is to see that every core
teaching classroom has at least one cart of laptop computers with the goal of having one computer available
for every other student in grade 2-5."
Reynolds continues: New robots have arrived in district as well. The innovative NAO robots class will be
receiving additional Humanoids and all schools will see
the amazing new VGo robots from time to time. VGos
allow students unable to attend school in person (due to
causes beyond their control) to fully participate. We
hope to see these new devices in operation within the
first month of school.
In addition, New musical instruments will help
accentuate what I consider to be our best-in-class
music programs, he says.
Other new technological devices include Up to date
wireless cameras which will dramatically improve our
TV/Media programming. Science cameras and other
equipment will offer new ways to explore the unknown.
Additional SMART Boards, futuristic STEM equipment, 3D printers, and high-tech Google cardboard virtual reality viewers should help make learning even
more fun (and important). New curriculum resources
will be offered for first grade reading, high school math
and chemistry, and middle school science classes as
well.

Exciting for about 35 school administrators is the
new central office administration building they get to
work in starting this month.
Located at 227 U.S. Route 206 west in Flanders, near
the After restaurant and the Rt. 206 Golf center, the new
office building is around 25 years old. It is part of the
Northwest Professional Center, a 40,000 square-foot
facility recently acquired by the board of education. The
property includes two 20,000 square-foot office buildings. The board will occupy most of one building, and
lease out the remaining space as well as the second
building to area businesses.
It has been used as an office building for several
decades, says Reynolds. We think its the nicest in
Kick Off Year...

town.
Housed at its current site since around 1980, the
school administration building on Route 46 Budd Lake
was remodeled at some point as it used to be the Budd
Lake School 90 years ago.
The existing site is to be sold, says Reynolds.
Until sale, we will use it as a storage and maintenance
center.
Purchasing a new building was a better option for the
district as opposed to renovating the existing building.
The new building offers the district a source of revenue and pushes forward the construction of the MOHS
PIT project, says Reynolds, by freeing up funds previously earmarked for renovation.
Reynolds explains that Through the procurement of
this site, funds set aside for the exiting administrative
building remodel were freed up to renovate the MOHS
PIT arena. The PITs 20,000 square foot space will be
transformed into an amazing array of very cool learning
spaces by this time next year. New 3D Copying labs, a
maker space for design and engineering classes, an
audio engineering recording studio, and a multi-use intimate performance arena will be constructed this year
that will give Mt. Olive kids advantages they have never
had before! says Reynolds.
Other facilities improvements this year include a
good deal of concrete and asphalt work completed at

just about every site, says Reynolds. A new bus parking lot will help our drivers immensely. New sidewalks
at MOMS and repairs to our driveways will also keep
both pedestrians and motorists safe.
New water tanks for Sandshore and MOHS were
installed; Mountain View got new ceiling tiles; MOHS
will have newly renovated student-use restrooms, team
rooms, a new track and a new athletic field- both
should be open for play this fall.
As for improvements in learning spaces, MOHS got
a science laboratory added and a new science learning
space; and a remodeled photo room along with an art
classroom. The middle schools stage is being replaced.
Some changes are being made with the districts programming.
We plan to significantly reduce the number of internal assessments while at the same time, giving our faculty and staff members needed information concerning
student learning progress, says Reynolds. To do this,
we have adopted the Renaissance Star 360 assessment
system for launch this September. The system allows
teachers to screen and group students for targeted
instruction, measure student growth, predict performance on summative exams, and monitor achievement on
Common Core or state standards.
The program will give Mt. Olive K-8 faculty valid,
reliable, actionable data, he adds. In doing so, faculty

members will have access to the data and insights they
need to improve student outcomes.
Changes are also being made to the school calendar
for elementary schools this year.
To further increase instructional time, the school
calendar will be broken down into three grading parts
rather than four as in past years. The reduction of a
grading period will mean one-fourth fewer report cards
to prepare.

Flanders Swim And Sports Club Hosts First Pan American Fistball Games
By Chelsea Opong-Wadeer
istball was invented in ancient Italy
in the year of 1955. During the
Renaissance noblemen played fistball to past time. In 1870, Georg Weber
introduced fistball to central Europe. It
was soon after that the sport spread to
North and South America and West
Africa by German emigrants. In 2015,
fistball made its mark on the fields of the
Flanders Swim and sports club.
When youre here, youre family.
That was the atmosphere on the fistball
fields on Fridays second day of the First
Pan American Fistball Games. But the
question on most peoples minds was
what is fistball?
For Robert Feid, fistball is volleyball
with a bounce. Feid, coordinator for the
first Pan American Fistball games,
worked diligently to make sports history
and bring fistball to the fields of
Flanders.
Its been a lot of work, but Ive
enjoyed every minute of it, Fied said.
The Pan American Games included
the United States Men and Womens
National Team, Columbia, Argentina,
Brazil, and Chile. According to Fied, the

U.S. was asked by the International
Fistball Association to host the first Pan
American Games, and to him it was an
offer he couldnt refuse.
In 1928 the Flanders Swim and Sports
Club was established. In its start-up
years, handball was the sport of choice
between members of the club. Its members of all backgrounds have participated
in the friendly competition of handball,
fistball, and soccer.
This sport is a great for families,
because fistball is for all ages, said
Reinhard Kindler, father to Eric Kindler
U.S.As striker for the national team.
Kindlers father has played fistball for as
long as he could remember. He had the
honor in 1999 to play on the U.S.A.
national team during the 1999
Switzerland Fistball Games.
It was watching my dad play that
sparked my extreme interest to join the
national team, Kindlers son said.
Kindler is now 23, and highly recommends the game of fistball to athletes.
Fistball is intense, Kindler said. If
youve ever watched volleyball its along

those lines of intensity, but having to

cover more field and run around and dive
makes it that much more intense in my
eyes.
Most of the U.S.A National Fistball
team carries players all the way from
Wisconsin. The players for the Mens
team include; Eric Kindler, Mat

The game of Fistball has 11 players,
with five players on the field at a time.
The game is played to 11 points, and its

best two out of three games for who
wins. There are setters, defenders, and
spikers on each team, and before and
after each team plays the players will
thank each other for the opportunity to
play and wish them all the best.

For the mens team they all could
agree that Brazil was their biggest competition that weekend.
Were excited for some friendly competition against new countries, said Mat
Henrichs, player on the mens national

team, and to get to have some great conversations with new people from all over
the world.
In the womens world of fistball,
U.S.As Womens National Team makes
up players who have been involved with
fistball all their lives and some who
recently just picked it up.
Kay Crosby, 25, captain for the
womens team, had played volleyball for
almost all her life, and upon researching
more about the history of volleyball and
the connection fistball had to it, she
found herself learning the ropes for the
sport.
I have been playing for five years,
Crosby said. I started in 2010, and some
of our girls started in June so our team
really ranges from a lot of years to a very
few months.
Were most excited to be able to play
with both the national teams from other
countries and the club teams, Crosby
added. Itll help us gain more experience and learn more.

The womens U.S.A. National team
includes, Kay Crosby, Ashley Sledzinski,
Kristie Keating, Alex Buehning,
Courtney Abel, Bonnie Zobel, Tricia
Groeber, and Sadie Beacham.
In the finals for the national teams,
both Brazil men and womens teams took
first place, the Chilean women and mens
teams took second place, the U.S. national teams both men and women took third
place, and the Columbia women and
mens national teams took fourth place.
These 200 young men and women
are going to go back to their communities
and say what a great time we had in
Roxbury Twp, said Christopher Raths,
Township manager of Roxbury. We
really enjoyed it all, he added.

Flanders Church Spends A Summer Week in Appalachia
By Elsie Walker
hen people think of going away
during the summer, most think of
going to places where they can sit
out in the sun and relax. Doing any kind of
work is the farthest thing from their minds.
However, for a group of 30 members and
friends from the United Presbyterian Church
in Flanders, a week away during July was
nothing but work. However, that work was
something special.
They traveled to Appalachia to participate in the Appalachian Service Project.
Through that, groups travel to Appalachia
for a week to work on homes with the goal
of making them warmer and safer for those
living in one of the poorest regions of
America. They also get to meet the people
who struggle to survive in that area.
Church member, Kathy Banfe described
Johnson City, Tenn. It is an average East
Tennessee town with nice neighborhoods
and shopping areas. Once you leave the city
limits, you are in a rural area that is so very
different than the city just miles away. It is
a fairly impoverished area, with lovely people in need of support and assistance.
The level of need is reflected in the projects that were done. This was Tim
Callaghans, of Flanders, first trip to

Appalachia.
He brought with him his
daughters Katie, 23 and Tess, 21.
He
described the house on which they worked:
Our team worked on repairing a familys
home which consisted of installing wood
floors in four rooms, repairing two toilets
and two sinks to make them functioning.
The family had no functioning toilets to use.
Also, spackled and painted the family room
installed molding and installed light fixtures
at the front of the house.
It was the fourth year for Miller Hinds, of
Mt. Olive, who was one of the leaders. He
noted that this year the church group went
during the seventh and last week of the program. It is during that time that finish up
work is usually done, but there is still very
much to do.
For example, Hinds and his team worked
on a project called Fort Donelson: This
consisted of taking out the carpet for the living room, replacing the carpet with tongue
and groove wooden flooring, putting drywall on the ceiling to reduce fire danger,
spackling and paining the ceiling, putting up
a molding on the ceiling, putting in baseboards, and finally cleaning the room and
adding an area rug.
Hinds also noted that besides the home

repairs, part of the time there is spent getting
to know the homeowners, the people who
live in Appalachia.
Vic Amanda from Flanders went with his
20 year-old daughter, Nicole. He talked
about the house they worked on and the
family they met.
We worked on a single family prefabbed modular home that had been damaged by water and vandalism. The homeowner was a woman, with four minor children. She is disabled.We changed the familys home by installing laminate flooring
and painting rooms. The children were all
having breathing issues from the mold and
mildew in the house. My most memorable
moment was watching my daughter interact
with the three boys ages 10, 11 and 12,
working with a skill saw, throwing a football
and relaxing at lunch that we provided,
under a shade tree.
Hinds shared that the time spent with the
homeowners is as important as the time
spent on the repairs. The groups get to know
the homeowners and their struggles. They
bond.
Callaghan said, My most memorable
experience was seeing the familys reaction

to the amount of work that was accomplished in five days. They were very appreciative and showed their gratitude by
embracing us before we left.
Hinds said, The best part of the week
Flanders Church...
was when we brought [the homeowner] out
of the kitchen and saw the surprise and
appreciation on her face. Even though leaving is always sad and happy at the same
time, that last moment that you get to spend
with the family makes the whole week
worth it.
Like any trip, the church groups trip to
Appalachia created memories, things
they experienced which touched them
and from which they learned.
Banfe said, You can't judge people by
the conditions you see before you understand what drove them or got them to the
place they are currently living. I also am
always amazed at how happy and loving
people are in these impoverished areas and
how they find happiness without the money
and things that we are all so accustomed to
here.
Twelfth grader Barbara DiTomasso from
Jefferson, who worked on Hinds team said,
I learned that just because we're in America
doesn't mean there aren't people struggling
on a daily basis. The whole experience really took me out of my little sheltered world
and allowed me to gain a new perspective. I

feel less ignorant now that my eyes have
been opened to this type of thing. I am so
grateful that I was able to be a part of this
life-changing experience. As a bonus, I met
so many wonderful people, and made some
really awesome friends. My team was more
than I could have ever asked for.
Callaghan noted there are many needy
people in the country who welcome help and
support. He noted the power of people
working together to accomplish things. He
also commented on the young people that
worked on the home project with him.
Our group of young people who worked
so hard to make this family so very happy
touched me. I am proud of what they accomplished and it has increased my faith in this
next generation of leaders.
As happens with any good trip, those
who take it, recommend it. Hinds recommends the Appalachian Service Project
experience, Being able to spend one week
a year to help, is something that I think
everyone should do and it always is lifting to
see that you can help someones living situation out.

Scandinavian Festival Still A Hit After 31 Years
By Ejvind Boccolini
he 31st Annual Scandinavian Festival was held at
Vasa Park in Budd Lake on Sun., Sept. 6, and it
was filled with music, food, dancing, costumes,
waffles, pancakes, beer and meatballs - all specialized in
that Scandinavian way, of course.
Vendors and crafters had Scandinavian clothing and
T-shirts, jewelry, sculptures, musical instruments and
more, and there was a great turnout this year; no downpours this year either (like there was once in recent
years). Certainly a good day and a good event.
Some men participated in the traditional wife-carrying contest, and the prize was "win her weight in beer."
Many attendees were in costume, trying to best represent what type of clothing their ancestors perhaps
wore many centuries ago.
There were also combat re-enactments, blacksmiths,
and ship builders on hand, with replicas of ships from
Scandinavia's past. Owners were ready to explain the
history and process of building.
Overall, it was a fine way to celebrate the heritage
and culture of Scandinavia.
One of the ship builders, Harold "Precision"
Haugaard, who designed and created the Norwegian
Faering Elfyn, was happy to have his ship on display.
This ship was at Scanfest last year as well, but without
the sail, said John Lunde, who assisted with the creation
of this ship.
Both Haugaard and Lunde had fathers from Norway,
so their Scandinavian heritage runs deep.
Lunde said there were no official design plans for
these ships in the olden days. It was fathers and uncles
who taught their sons and nephews, for instance.
Verbally and, through demonstration, the tradition was
passed down and this is how it has survived.
Centuries ago, in Norway, this sort of vessel was a
"local water taxi" type of ship, Lunde said.
The Faering Elfyn was built starting in 2013, over a
period of one-and-a-half years, with ancient oak trees.
Lunde said the trees fell down in storm Sandy and were
likely hundreds of years old. They were from Schooley's
Mountain, he said.
"These are massive trees," said Lunde, adding that
the 'heart' of these strong oaks - the core - which is most
durable and most rot-resistant - was used for the ship.
Also on hand at the Scanfest was a blacksmith, Bill
Kucharski, creating tools over an open fire of crude
coal.
Kucharski explained that across many cultures, the
techniques by blacksmiths were very much the same.
Kucharski works as a blacksmith "100 percent of the
time," and added that, "if you keep yourself interested in
it - then you're not working."

One of the performers, a singer-songwriter named
Ann-Marita Garsed, played a combination of contemporary, Americana, rock and American/Nordic Folk music.
Garsed, who grew up on a rural farm in Norway, spoke
to the crowd about the meaning behind her songs and
was well-received, as was classical guitarist Tomas
Janzon.
Janzon, of Sweden, and now of Harlem, played
Scandinavian folk, as well as classical and jazz styles on
his acoustic guitar, with great skill and inspiration. He
played a few bluesy numbers as well, and spoke about
jazz legends Miles Davis and Sonny Rollins.
There was some great authenticity and inspiration at
ScanFest this year.
Thirty-one years later, this ScanFest is still going
quite strong.
The program for the event thanks the "volunteers
who help run Scan Fest - the event could not happen
without them - and to the many others who support their
organization's participation at the Fest."
As noted in the program, "If you'd enjoy the satisfaction of helping to plan/run the largest Nordic event in
the Eastern U.S., meeting other volunteers, and working
with other active Nordic groups, contact:
[email protected]."

Time To Raise The Roof To Welcome New Trampoline Center In MO
By Cheryl Conway
local business building recently had
its roof raised to make headway
wayliterally for a new trampoline center heading into town.
Industrial Services Enterprises (ISE) in
Randolph- a structural steel fabricator and
erector - lifted the roof off a building at the
International Trade Center in Budd Lake.
Owned by Lamar Companies, the building
space had been rented by Spirit Halloween
Superstore and prior to that, Staples. Ten
men from ISE raised the roof on Aug. 10,
with hydraulic equipment during an all-day
project at the site.
The purpose for the lift is to accommodate for a trampoline facility- Sky Zone
Trampoline Center. The existing roof did not
provide enough head-room for the activity
that will be taking place inside the building
in the near future.
We could have dug down five feet so the
trampoline would have been floor level,
explains Sandy DEmidio Jr. of Flanders,
project manager of Industrial Services
Enterprises. The more affordable option
was to raise the roof and keep the floor
where it was, he says.
Contracted about a year ago, workers had
been on site three weeks prior prepping the
site for the lift; then spent the next two
weeks after the lift to re-support the building. Gerard Construction of Wall Twp. completed other contractual work like gutting
the building, its walls, bathroom and office
space.
We came in to install all of our patented
wrap and hydraulic system and new steel,
says DEmidio. Next step was to lift the
roof, a process in which a foot of the roof
was lifted every hour. It took five hours; we
lifted it five feet.
The 22,000 sq. foot building was 13 feet
by six feet prior to the lift; after raising the
roof, it now measures 18 feet by six feet,
says DEmidio.
Skyzone needed a certain amount of head
clearance to allow trampolines in the building.
Once we lifted it, we re-support with a
spliced column, says DEmidio. Gerard
Construction then fills in the five foot space
with new mason walls, and re-extends any
plumbing or electrical lines.
This was a smaller project, says
DEmidio, compared to the other projects he
has worked on, but the end result will impact
a good number of people, he says.
Established in 1976, Industrial Services
Enterprises specializes in roof raising with
projects throughout the country, as well as
structural steel work. Using the EZ Riser
lifting system, it takes existing warehouse
space, or any steel framed building, and
hydraulically lifts the roof structure completely intact to create more headroom.
According to its website, The EZ Riser
system is the smoothest, fastest, and safest
system for increasing space in sound buildings. Our structural sleeves and telescopic
steel columns cause no damage to the existing slab and also serve as your permanent
new column. EZ Riser has lifted over one
million square feet of roofs in the United
States, creating over one hundred million
cubic feet of usable space. All with a 100
percent safety record that cannot be
matched.
Most of the companys work involves
structural steel projects in schools, churches,
car dealership, strip malls and warehouses to
provide more rack and storage space. Some
larger projects have included Chrysler
Motors in Detroit; eight jobs on the east
coast for Restaurant Depot and its largest
roof-raising project was at the former
650,000 sq. ft. Panasonic Building in
Secaucus.
Some other local jobs have included renovation work at Sandshore Elementary
school in Budd Lake; a new bell tower

above the roof at Flanders Firehouse on
Main Street and the original Siemens
Healthcare building in Flanders.
Raising the roof of a new trampoline center in town has its own flare, he says.
Its something cool; its something interesting, he says. People in town will be
using the building, giving jobs to local peo-
ple. The end result is more interesting than

our typical roof-raising project.

From The Mayors Desk
Mayor Gets Back To Business After Summer Fun
apologize for not doing this column for the past two months as I
took the summer off from writing to enjoy the amazing things happening in Mt. Olive. During that
timeframe I attempted to be as
responsive as possible to all of the
residents who contacted me with
individual issues and needs. I hope
that we were able to address most of
the issues as best we could with the
resources that we have.
I would personally like to thank
all of you who have approached to
tell me that they think my staff and I
are doing a great job. I definitely
see a positive change in the way we
as residents view living in Mt. Olive
and I am grateful for everyones
help in making that happen. I would
also like to thank all of the volunteers, sponsors and participants who
have made our programs such a success such as our Do or Dye Color
Run/ Food Truck and Fireworks and

more to come.
Please come join us at Turkey
Brook Park for our newest event:
Starry Skies Wine & Beer
Festival Sat., Sept. 26, an adult only
evening where attendees can sip,
savor and sway to the music under
the starry skies of Turkey Brook
Park. Festival gates will open at 4
p.m. with merriments going until 10
p.m.

younger fans; we will have our

Pink Extensions For The Cure Fundraiser At Alfonso's Salon
ctober is Breast Cancer Awareness

month and throughout Oct. 31
Alfonso's Salon in Flanders, for the
fourth year in a row, is joining the fight to
defeat breast cancer, the second leading
cancer killer of women. The salon is offering pink hair extensions to commemorate
the cause. The extensions are available in a
shade of bright pink for $12 each; in order
to eliminate any bank fees, cash is required.
All donations and profits for this fundraiser
will benefit the Susan G. Komen
Foundation for the Cure of North Jersey.
"We are proud to help where we can to
raise funds to assist research, increase
awareness and promote screenings," says
Alfonso Merola, owner/stylist of Alfonso's
Salon at Sutton Plaza. "Breast Cancer
affects so many families. I have seen it
touch the lives of many, and happily count
many as successful survivors of this disease, because of early detection."
The Salon has received much recognition for its efforts to help defeat breast cancer.
The non-permanent extensions are a
simple process and it only takes minutes to
apply.
"We compress the pink extension into
the hair without causing any harm to the
client's own hair, he says. They look
great on women of all ages, from kids to
seniors, with some customers getting two
or three at a time. They can be easily cut to
any length the client wants and will stay in
as long as a moisturizing shampoo or conditioner is not used on the root area.
Alfonso is particularly excited about
working with groups for this worthy
fundraiser. Last year, he was invited to
Morristown Medical Center to apply extensions to staff during the shift change outside the cafeteria, and plans to return this
month. Check out Alfonsos Facebook
page for days and hours.
Cheerleaders and sports groups from the
local high schools have also come in as a
team to show their support. It's a fundraiser
and a team building exercise all in one.
The salon will accept any donation even
if customers do not want to take advantage
of the hair extension services. A jar will be
available at the front desk. Donation jars
can also be found at Valentino's Pizzeria,
Verizon Wireless store, Wine Rack,

Flanders Cleaners, Flanders Bagels, and
Mandarin Village.
In business for 30 years, Alfonso's is a
full service salon, specializing in complete
hair services such as color, cuts, styling,
and specialized smoothing systems such as
Keratin Straightening System and Keratin

Express as well as perms and conditioning
treatments. Manicures, pedicures and waxing services are also provided. Hair extensions come in many varied colors and are
done all year round.
NJ Car Seat Laws Get Updated
s of Sept. 1, the NJ Car Seat Law

will be changing. Children under
the age of two and weighing less
than 30 pounds must be in a rear-facing
car seat with a five point harness. The
car seat must be in a rear seat of the vehicle.
From age two through age four and
weighing up to 40 pounds, children must
be secured in a seat with a five point harness, either rear facing, up to the height
and weight of the particular seat, or forward facing in the rear seat of the vehicle.
For ages four until age eight and less
than 57 inches, children must be seated in
either a car seat with a five point harness
or a booster seat, also in the rear seat of

the vehicle.
Age eight through 17 must wear a
properly adjusted and fastened seat belt.
If there are no rear seats, like in a standard cab pickup truck, the child must be
secured in the appropriate car seat or
booster for their age, weight, and height,
in the front passenger seat. If the child is
in a rear-facing car seat, the passenger
side airbag must be disabled or turned
off.

MO District Office Move

More Cost Effective Than Renovating Old Building
he Mt. Olive Township School District has purchased new offices and was planning to move its
administrative center from Budd Lake to Flanders
by the middle of September. The acquisition of the modernized office space is less than half the cost of renovating the current offices in the old Budd Lake School a
building originally constructed 90 years ago.
The new district office will be located at 227 U.S.
Route 206 and is part of the Northwest Professional
Center, a 40,000 square-foot facility recently acquired by
the board of education. The property includes two 20,000
square-foot office buildings. The board will occupy most
of one building, with the remainder and all of the second
building continuing to be leased to area businesses.
In a unique sales arrangement, the board paid $1.7
million in cash for the new site and agreed to lease all
non-district occupied space for a period of time not to
exceed 15 years. The former-owner of the facility gets to
keep the first $2 million in profits, after which all money
from building leases becomes revenue for the school district. The ex-owner will assume all expenses related to
the leased property, except for routine maintenance, until
the $2 million milestone is reached, estimated in 10 to 15
years.
This deal gives the district modernized offices at less

than half the cost of what we were going to have to spend
to renovate the current administrative building, said
Anthony Giordano, board of education president. By at
most 20 years into the arrangement, the money that the
district will receive from leasing unused space will pay
for the entire purchase of the buildings. It's an incredible
cost-effective opportunity for the district that provides a
revenue source for years to come.
The $1.7 million purchase price of the Flanders complex is less than half of the estimated $3.5 million needed to renovate the current administrative office, a project
that the board had been preparing to undertake for some
time. Money had been set aside in a capital reserve fund
over the past several years in anticipation of completing
the work and the district recently received $1.6
million from the state as well.
The old Budd Lake school is in need of extensive renovation, said Dr. Larrie Reynolds, superintendent of
schools. This includes things such as asbestos removal,
improvements to comply with the Americans With
Disabilities Act (ADA), and modernizing boiler and heating/ventilation systems which still contain some of their
original components. It doesn't make sound financial

sense to invest in a building that is 90 years old.

Rather than using the capital reserve funds for board
office renovation, the purchase of the new offices frees up
money to improve an underutilized space in Mt. Olive
High School. The original 20,000 square foot auditorium
known as the pit has serious design flaws, such as
acutely sloping bleachers that have been off limits to students for more than a decade. Plans for redevelopment of
this area, set to begin this fall, call for breaking up the
space into three large learning spaces: a STEM-focused
maker studio for pre-engineering students, an audio
recording studio and learning center, and an intimate
multi-purpose performance area that allows for a host of
activities ranging from artistic performances to wrestling
matches. The total renovation at MOHS is expected to
cost approximately $3 million. All of the money needed
for this project is already available in the districts capital
reserve fund.
Unlike previous building projects, neither the pit
project nor the new administrative offices will increase
taxes, said Giordano. We believe that investing in our
flagship school and owning modern buildings that will
provide a revenue stream serve the district and its taxpayers well.
Community Gardeners Donate Produce To Food Closets
ood pantries at Drakestown United

Methodist Church & Christ Church
are overflowing with fresh, local produce thanks to the gardeners from The Land
Conservancy of New Jerseys Community
Garden in Mt. Olive Township. Each week
gardeners have been delivering a cooler full
of beautiful vegetables for distribution by
the staff at the food pantry.
Since July 13, the gardeners have been
donating their excess produce, including
tomatoes, peppers, squash, cabbage, lettuce,
kale, cabbage and even fresh flowers to two
food closets located in Mt. Olive. In addition, the Flanders United Methodist Church
has donated more than 43 pounds of produce
from its two plots at the Community Garden
to the Cranford Family Care.
So far this season the gardeners have
donated nearly 300 pounds of vegetables,
herbs and flowers.
This is absolutely amazing, stated
Barbara McCloskey, Community Garden
manager and membership and Outreach
manager for The Land Conservancy of NJ.
It is a pleasure to be at the garden and visit
with all the gardeners. Their enthusiasm and
dedication to their plots is inspiring.
Minister Bob Mayer from the Flanders

United Methodist Church commented,
This past week alone our food pantry
served 24 families, which was made up of
51 adults and 32 children. Having fresh produce available is such a blessing! They are
always thrilled when they see all the produce
the garden donates on the table for them. It
adds so much to their dietary intake. The
fresh produce helps us to serve our people
even more. The Community Garden has
been such a blessing to our community!
The Community Garden, now in its third
year of operation, is located at South Branch
Preserve, a beautiful nature preserve with
trails and a wildlife blind along the westbound side of Wolfe Road, near its intersection with Route 46 East. Preserved by The
Land Conservancy and its partners, including Mt. Olive Township, this land was purchased to protect the headwaters of the
South Branch of the Raritan River, a drinking water supply source for more than 1.5
million NJ residents.
Founded in 1981, The Land Conservancy
of NJ is a member supported non-profit land
trust dedicated to preserving and protecting
vital natural lands and water resources. It is

Mt. Olive Area Chamber Slates Inaugural

Benefit Golf Outing
he First Annual Mt. Olive Area

Chamber of Commerce Golf Outing
is intended to be a fun event. But
perhaps more importantly, it will raise
funds that will go towards the 2016
MOACC Scholarship Fund.
Each year, the chamber selects a worthy
high school senior to receive a scholarship.
Participants in this golf outing, which is
being hosted by the organizations Young
Professionals Group, will help make that
scholarship a reality.
The chamber has been giving out scholarships for many, many years.
Its a great cause, said Erikka Bahnuk,
chair of the Young Professionals Group.
The Chamber has been giving out thousands of dollars in scholarships over the
years to our future leaders. This is our way
of giving them a boost to their educational
endeavors.
The outing is set to take place on Thurs.,
Sept. 24 at Wild Turkey Golf Course at the
Crystal Springs Resort in Vernon.
The four-person scramble format starts
with golfer check in and continental breakfast from 7:30 a.m.-8:45 a.m., with a shotgun start at 9 a.m. The awards luncheon is
scheduled for 2 p.m.
A variety of sponsorships are available

from a tee sign to premier sponsor.
Individual golfers may also sign up for
$150 each, which includes cart, greens
fees, breakfast and luncheon. Anyone interested in attending the luncheon only, the
cost is $35 per person.
The Mt. Olive Chamber includes businesses from the Greater Mt. Olive region,
including Hackettstown.

In October, the chamber, along with the
Community Advisory Panel of the Mt.
Olive Area, the Mt. Olive and
Hackettstown police departments, and the
Mt. Olive Fire Department, is presenting a
special workshop event: Active Shooter
the Target Could be You!
Scheduled for Wed., Oct. 14 at the Budd
Lake Firehouse, in Budd Lake, from 8 a.m.
to 11 a.m., the event is open to any business
owner, manager and employees, and service organizations. The cost is $10 per person. Contact the chamber for further
details.
Food Trucks & Fireworks Festival A Foodtastic Success
he inaugural Food Trucks &

Fireworks Festival, held on Sat., Aug.
29, in Turkey Brook Park in Budd
Lake, was a phenomenal success.
We anticipated an audience of around
4,000 for our first year hosting this event and
were absolutely blown away when our final
attendance numbers exceeded 10,000, stated Recreation Supervisor Jill Daggon. It
almost goes without saying that we plan to

double the number of trucks invited to next
years festival.
Sponsored by Hackettstown Regional
Medical Center, Weis, Route 46 Chevrolet,
Absolute Home Mortgage Corporation and
Power Home Remodeling, the event featured 17 food trucks, live music including
karaoke times, a beer garden hosted by the
Gail Phoebus, Mayor Rob Greenbaum, Freeholder Doug Cabana, Chef Spitzer, Mr.Spitzer and
Council President Joe Nicastro enjoy an afternoon at the Food Truck and Fireworks Festive in Mt.
Olive.
Corner Pub, bounce houses, face painting,

vendor booths and a spectacular fireworks
display.
Though the Food Trucks & Fireworks
Festival was an incredible success, it was the
very first event of its kind that the Mt. Olive
Recreation Department organized, so it was
not without its challenges.
Oh absolutely, this gave us a lot of

insight on how to do things differently, said
Recreation Marketing Director Laura
Rimmer. Were a victim of our own success
as we clearly underestimated the amount of
people who would show up. On one hand

Flanders Firefighters, EMTs Practice Skills, Accept New Breathing Equipment
landers firefighters
and emergency medical technicians are
constantly keeping skills
fresh while incorporating
technology and new safety
features that allow firefighters to do a better job at savings lives.
Long-time
Flanders
Firefighter Fred Detoro Sr.
recently volunteered to be a
victim during a regular drill
at the firehouse to allow firefighters and emergency
medical personnel to practice their skills at removing
injured victims of car accidents, a common call in
town. Later, the firefighters
used hydraulic tools and
saws to practice cutting the
car away from trapped victims.
Meanwhile, other firefighters were inside the firehouse learning to use new
air packs that will allow
them to work inside dangerous atmospheres, such as a
smoke-filled burning home,
for an extra 15 minutes and
do so with additional safety
features on their side.
This is a typical
Thursday night at the
Flanders firehouse, said
Fire
Chief
Michael
McDermott. We are constantly honing our skills and
we often introduce new
equipment and procedures.
Anything that lets us provide better service for residents and more safety for
our members is a welcome
addition.
Outside, members used
hydraulic tools, saws and
hand tools to remove the
doors, windows and even
the roof of an old car donated for just this purpose.
With cars traveling at
high speeds on Route 206
and Interstate 80, motor
vehicle accidents are a common call for us, said Fire
Capt. Scott Faluotico.
Often, we can simply
remove the victims while
protecting their head, neck
and back to prevent further
injury. Thats what we practiced first.
Meanwhile, firefighters
who are trained to enter
burning buildings and other
places that might have poisonous atmospheres are
learning to use new breathing apparatus.
Fire Lt. Greg Widzemok
said the 15 new air packs are
state-of-the-art MSA G-1

packs. They last 15 minutes
longer, are more comfortable to wear and work in and
have a variety of safety features. The new packs, along
with equipment to maintain
them, cost about $112,000.
Working in any air pack
is hard, said Widzemok.
The new ergonomic design
of the G-1 makes them easier to work in and we can
stay on the job for 45 minutes instead of only 30.
All packs have lights and
alarms to alert a firefighter
that he or she is running out
of air. Widzemok said the
new packs also have lights
on the pack to alert the firefighters partner. He said it
was also easier to be understood when speaking while
wearing the pack and mask.
We try to have the best
equipment and training for
our firefighters and EMS
personnel,
said
McDermott. But we also constantly practice using that
equipment and keeping the
training fresh. Thats how
we are able to best serve the
residents of Mt. Olive in an
emergency.
McDermott added that
the town pays for most of

the equipment, but the fire
company, through its association, must pay for some
equipment and much of the
training.
We always appreciate it
when people donate to our

Food Trucks & Fireworks...
continued from page 40

that is a wonderful problem to have, but
were not happy that some people were frustrated. As with any first time event, there is
always a learning experience, but our recreation department prides itself on being very
quick learners so we are certain next years
festival will be outright amazing!
Admission to the festival was free, compared to $5 or $10 per person for other area
food truck festivals. Parking was a $5 donation per car, which went to the Budd Lake
Fire Department.
We are very grateful for our relationship
with the Budd Lake Fire Department, said
Rimmer. Their members volunteer to assist
us with managing parking and ensuring safety during our larger events. Knowing this
money goes to support their equipment and
training needs is a win-win relationship for
us, them and the attending public.
Mt. Olive Township Council President
Joe Nicastro posted the following statement
on his web page: Kudos to the Rec. depart-
ment for putting on a great event. I have to

say that the food trucks were fantastic. I not
only enjoyed seeing fellow residents having
a great time but my family and I did as well.
The lines were long but everything we waited for was worth the wait. The choices of
food were many; the weather was great; and
then to top off the night with fireworks, was
fantastic; well worth the $5 parking fee for
me. No one knows how much work goes
into planning and executing this type of
event; my hats off to the rec. department,
parks department, police, fire, EMS, DWP
and all the volunteers and others who made
this event so great! Already looking forward
to having the trucks back again.
Trucks who would like to participate in
next years event are welcome to reach out
to the Mt. Olive Recreation Department
now, to be added to the list. For additional

MO 12U Travel Softball Team Wins

Second Place In World Series
t was an amazing finish to an incredible

year. The Mt. Olive New Jersey 12U
Travel Softball Team finished number
two in the country after competing in the
2015 Babe Ruth World Series in
Gainesville, FL., this summer.
This team showed incredible effort as
they were forced to play six games in the
final day of competition after games were
delayed from a tropical depression during
the event. The tournament was held from
July 30-Aug. 4. Mt Olive jumped out to a
great start winning their first three pool play
games placing them in the third seed out of
the 25 teams that qualified for a World
Series birth. The team went on to win its
next two games in bracket play and remain
in the winners bracket along with the other
top 15 teams.
On the final day of play at the World
Series on Tues., Aug. 4, the girls had to play
six games. After losing the first game to
Prairie Village Kentucky early Tues. morning, the team dropped to the losers bracket
for the first time in the tournament.
That wouldn't stop them as they came
back and defeated Fern Creek, KY, in a close
game; then faced the 2014 World Series
defending champions, Bloomingdale of
Tampa, FL. After being down by three runs
in the last inning facing elimination, MO
fought back to score four runs in the bottom
of the sixth to win the game!
This placed MO into the semi-final game
against Prairie Village, KY whom they lost
to that same morning. Incredibly, they went
on to defeat the Kentucky team 7 to 4, which
launched MO into the first round of the
championship against Jefferson Parrish, La.
(JPRD) who had only played one previous
game that day. Since the tournament had a
double elimination format, MO would have
to defeat JPRD twice, back to back, to win
the championship. The first round of the

championship began at 8:30 p.m. and MOs
fifth game of the day. This amazing MO
team defeated JPRD 3 to 1, pushing the
championship to the final game.
The momentum was unstoppable, and
everyone believed a World Series championship was in the making. The final game
started at 11:30 p.m. It was the sixth game
of the day for MO, which had been playing
non-stop in the Florida heat since 8 a.m. that
morning. An extremely close game, MO
was up 3 to 2 going into the last inning.
After the first out was recorded against
JPRD, MO was only two outs away from a
National title!! However, JPRD came back
to tie the game in the last inning sending the
game into extra innings at 1 a.m. Although
displaying incredible courage all throughout
the day, this unrelenting MO team just could
not hold on and ended up finishing runnerup at the 2015 Babe Ruth World Series.
They were absolute warriors all the way to
the end.
The team wants to sincerely thank everyone who sent their support and kind wishes
throughout its World Series journey. They
consider their supporters to be a huge inspiration for the teams success and a great
motivation to keep fighting into the late
hours on that final day.
Manager Paul Segnello stated Finishing
number two in the country is an accomplishment we will never forget. Each and every
one of our players showed amazing physical
and mental strength throughout the tournament. They should all be proud of their
accomplishments and this was truly a success story based on the entire team. I can
only imagine what could have happened if
the weather held out and didnt put us
against all odds on that exhausting final
day.
