Having Their Backs, One Backpack at a Time
By Cheryl Conway When it comes to fighting food insecurity, the Mt. Olive Food Pantry has long had the backs of local families. Now, thanks to a donation of 100 backpacks filled with essential school supplies, it also has the backs of local students, helping them begin the school year with confidence and all the tools they need for an A+ start. The Mt. Olive Republican Club recently partnered with the Mt. Olive Food Pantry to donate 100 fully stocked backpacks to local students who are less fortunate. The first time for this initiative— Mount Olive Republican Club Community Donation— the MO Republican Club turned over the filled backpacks to the MO Food Pantry on Saturday, Aug. 8, just in time for the new school year. “All of us care deeply about the children and families in our community,” says Martin Welzmuller, president of the MO Republican Club and chair of the Mt. Olive County Committee. “Each of us stepped up to help ensure that students in Mt. Olive have the support they need to start the school year confident and prepared.” The initiative was organized by the MO Olive Republican Club, with key support from “our executive leadership, local sponsors and community members, to help with our community service and helping families in need,” Welzmuller says. “Myself and [Councilwoman] Mary Lalama came up with the idea, and several people help donated to fund the cost of the backpacks.” The purpose of the initiative is to support local students and families by procuring, assembling and delivering essential school supplies and backpacks directly to the community through the Republican’s club partnership with the Mt. Olive Food Pantry. “The Mt. Olive Food Pantry works directly on the front lines with local families in need,” says Welzmuller. “Partnering with them ensures the backpacks go straight to the students who will benefit most before the school year starts.” Adds Lalama, “I wanted to start with the food pantry because we have 90 families that use the food pantry so I figured that would be a great place to start and then maybe to reach out to some of the schools to find out some other families as well.” As far as the number of bags, “We selected 100 to directly meet the specific needs identified by the Mt. Olive Food Pantry while ensuring every single bag was fully stocked with high-quality supplies,” explains Welzmuller. The 100 backpacks are durable, standard 17-inch bags available in a variety of school-friendly colors, including blue, red, black and teal. Made by high-quality commercial manufacturers, the backpacks are designed to withstand the demands of the school year. Each one is filled with essential, grade-appropriate school supplies, including notebooks, folders, pencils, pens, crayons, glue sticks, safety scissors, rulers and pencil pouches, giving students everything they need to start the school year prepared, details Welzmuller. The total cost for the 100 backpacks and packed school supplies was approximately $855. “Funding and supplies were contributed directly by our club members, local elected officials and community supporters,” says Welzmuller. “In addition to the backpacks, we presented the Mt. Olive Food Pantry with a $110 monetary donation alongside non-perishable food collected during our community barbecue event this past Saturday.” Now that the bag has been opened, the MO Republican Club may plan to make this an annual initiative. “This is the inaugural year for our student backpack drive and if needed we will do it again in the future,” says Welzmuller. “While our club has consistently hosted community service events over the years, we are now making a concerted effort to publicize our outreach so residents can see the charitable work we do to support Mt. Olive.” For those interested in getting involved with the MO Republican Club, community members are invited to attend the next Mt. Olive Republican Club meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 16th at 7 p.m. at Enzo’s Pizzeria in Budd Lake. Connect at mountoliverepublicanclub@gmail.com or visit mountoliverepublicanclub.com.
Kindergartners Begin School Year with Free Bags & Supplies
By Cheryl Conway Shopping for school supplies and backpacks is always a treat for parents and their kids, but those with kindergarteners starting this school year, The Education Association of Mt. Olive has got it covered! Thanks to the EAMO, 350 kindergartners throughout the Mt. Olive Township School District will be receiving a new backpack filled with essential supplies to start their journey as a student in Mt. Olive. The initiative—Kindergarten Bag of Success—has been made possible through the New Jersey Education Association Families and Schools Together Work For Children (FAST) Grant. With the Kindergarten Bag of Success, all students will start their year off by having all the tools they need to be prepared for a fabulous year of learning. “The Education Association of Mt. Olive is providing the backpacks to help strengthen the connection between our kindergarten classrooms and families,” says Malani Leitzel of Hopatcong, who serves as EAMO’s PEP/FAST Grant coordinator. “The bags contain resources that connect to what students are learning and using in school, giving families an opportunity to continue and support that learning at home. “Another important goal is to ensure that all families have access to the same materials and resources to support their children’s learning,” says Leitzel. “This initiative helps build a stronger partnership between educators and families while promoting equitable access to learning materials beyond the classroom.” Not the first time a backpack donation initiative has been done in MOTSD, the initiative was previously implemented in 2019 at Chester M. Stephens with Lisa Lamendola through a PEP (Public Education Partnership) Grant, shares Leitzel. However, it has not been done since 2019. “What began as a simple idea to provide paper-and-pencil materials has grown into a community-wide initiative supporting Mt. Olive’s youngest learners,” explains Leitzel. “The idea was inspired by something that had been done in the past, which EAMO Co-President Lisa Lamendola suggested bringing back. I took that idea and put it into motion. I reached out to the PTO presidents at all four elementary schools to get their thoughts and feedback, and they were all excited about the opportunity. “This year, I applied for a FAST Grant to bring the initiative back and strengthen the connection between what our kindergarten teachers are using and teaching in the classroom and the families we serve,” she explains. “The goal is to provide families with resources that support and extend the learning taking place in kindergarten.” The EAMO purchased all of the items included in the 350 backpacks provided to all four elementary schools throughout the Mt. Olive school district. “All four Mt. Olive elementary schools were selected to participate in this initiative,” Leitzel says. “The goal is to provide kindergarten students and families, particularly those who are new to the district, with an opportunity to build a positive relationship between families and school staff from the very beginning. “By providing materials that connect directly to what students are learning in the classroom, the initiative helps families feel welcomed, supported and connected to their child’s education and school community,” she adds. The Kindergarten Bags of Success are red and black, and each is filled with materials designed to support and reinforce the skills students are learning in the classroom. Each bag includes: Laminated letters for word building, letter recognition and letter sounds; alphabet practice folder and worksheets; kindergarten workbook; dry-erase sleeve; math counters; number and math practice folder; play dough; two dry-erase markers and a dry eraser; crayons; two pencils and a pencil grip; scissors; pencil pouch; water bottle; and stickers. “These materials are intended to give every kindergarten family access to hands-on learning resources that can be used at home to reinforce classroom learning,” stress Leitzel. The drive ensures that no kindergarten child will start the school year without these tools for success! “This initiative benefits students and their families by providing hands-on learning materials that directly connect to what kindergarten students are learning in the classroom,” explains Leitzel. “These resources give children opportunities to practice important early literacy and math skills at home in a fun and engaging way. The materials are designed to be used throughout the school year, allowing families to continue reinforcing classroom learning at home. As the year progresses, kindergarten teachers will also be able to provide families with additional ideas, activities, and ways to use the materials to support their child’s learning. “The initiative also ensures that all kindergarten families have access to the same learning materials, helping to provide equitable opportunities for students regardless of the resources they may already have at home,” she adds. “Most importantly, the Bags of Success help strengthen the connection between school and home,” continues Leitzel. “Families can see and participate in what their children are learning, while students can reinforce classroom skills through activities at home. For families who are new to the district, this initiative creates an early, positive connection with their child’s teachers and school community.” The total grant amount for the Bags of Success initiative is $10,500. It is funded by the EAMO, the staff union of MOTSD and is supported by union dues. “The grant we secured for the project is funded through EAMO’s union dues, which support initiatives that benefit students, families and the school community,” she adds. Looking back at how it all came together, Leitzel is truly thankful for all community effort and support. “Once the initiative was approved by NJEA, the materials began arriving,” Leitzel details. “EAMO members worked behind the scenes to laminate, cut, package and collate the materials so that each backpack would be ready for a kindergarten family. “On July 20, the initiative became a true community event,” she explains. “More than 45 people came together at the high school, including EAMO members, PTO members, a Girl Scout troop and MORT of Mt. Olive. Everyone worked together to assemble and package the 350 Bags of Success.” Plant a seed and watch it blossom. “What started as an idea has grown into a community effort supported by the Education Association

Mount Olive Health Center Expansion Monday, December 1, 2025 marks a major milestone as we officially break ground on the Township of Mount Olive Health Center Expansion, ushering in a brighter future for our community’s health and wellbeing. The Project Overview Ceremonial Groundbreaking Welcome & Opening Remarks: Andrew Tatarenko Remarks from Mayor Joe Nicastro Project Overview: Andrew Tatarenko Acknowledgments: The Musical Group Architects Van Cleef Engineering Pal-Pro Builders, LLC. Remarks from Key Stakeholders: Derrick Webb, Mount Olive Health Director Special Presentation/Recognition: Congressman Thomas Kean, Jr. The construction of the new Mount Olive Township Health Center is the culmination of years of vision, planning, and collaboration that began with the development of the Mount Olive Township Community Health Assessment in 2019. Through this year-long process, Township officials, health professionals, and community members identified key areas for public health improvement and recognized the growing need for expanded health services. Building on those findings, the Township pursued federal funding through the Community Project Funding grant program, administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. As a result of that effort, Mount Olive Township was awarded $1,982,500 to support the construction of a new 7,164-square-foot Health Center. The new facility—located adjacent to the Senior Center—will serve as a centralized hub for the Health Department, Health Clinic, Public Access, and Social Services. This modern, fully equipped building will enhance the Township’s ability to deliver comprehensive public health programs, improve accessibility to vital services, and strengthen community wellness initiatives. Beyond its local benefits, the new Health Center will also position Mount Olive Township as a regional leader in shared health services, expanding collaboration with neighboring municipalities and agencies to deliver efficient, cost-effective, and coordinated care across the region. Additionally, the relocation of the Health Department will free up much-needed space in the existing municipal complex, allowing for the expansion of the Police Department. This future enhancement will improve operational capacity and further strengthen public safety services for Mount Olive residents. Together, these improvements reflect Mount Olive Township’s ongoing commitment to building a healthier, safer, and more connected community for all

Enzo’s 50th Celebration
For 50 years, Enzo’s has been much more than a restaurant. It is a story of family, sacrifice, perseverance, and what it truly means to build something that becomes bigger than yourself. That story began with Emilio Buonincontri, who came to America from Naples, Italy, with nothing. He left behind everything he knew and arrived with a dream, two hands willing to work, and the belief that through sacrifice, he could build a better life for his family. But he didn’t build that dream alone. From a young age, Ernie stood beside his father. He worked diligently, learned the business, made sacrifices, and gave his time and energy to help Emilio turn that dream into Enzo’s. He wasn’t simply his father’s son—he became his partner in the work, helping carry the weight of building something that would eventually become a part of Mount Olive itself. Ernie never gave up on Enzo’s or the community. That is what makes the story of Enzo’s so special. The legacy didn’t stop with Emilio. It was passed from father to son. And today, you can see that same story happening all over again. Ernie’s son, Emilio, is now standing beside his father, just as Ernie once stood beside his. He is learning the business, putting in the hours, making sacrifices, and helping carry forward everything his grandfather and father worked so hard to build. Emilio shares the same passion and dedication in keeping Enzo’s growing and prospering for our new generation of customers. Three generations. One dream. Fifty years of sacrifice. What people see when they walk through the doors of Enzo’s is a restaurant. What they may not see are the early mornings, late nights, missed holidays, family celebrations spent working, and the countless moments when the Buonincontri family chose to show up for their customers and their community. Because Enzo’s was never just about serving food. It was about serving people. For five decades, this has been the place where Mount Olive has celebrated weddings, showers, birthdays, graduations and family gatherings. It has also been there during life’s hardest moments, when families needed a place to come together and support one another. Over the years, customers became familiar faces. Familiar faces became friends. And friends became family. That is the legacy Emilio started when he arrived from Naples with very little. He may have come to America with almost nothing, but he created something that money could never buy—a family legacy and a community that would grow alongside it. Fifty years is more than a milestone. It represents generations of work, sacrifice, love, and commitment. It represents a father who believed in a dream, a son who stood beside him and helped build it, and now another generation carrying that same dream forward. Enzo’s isn’t simply a business that has been here for 50 years. It is a family legacy that has become part of the Mount Olive family—and that is something truly worth celebrating.

With School Back in Session, Traffic Safety Takes Center Stage
By Cheryl Conway The hustle and bustle of back to school is here, and for some, the concern of speedy drivers on school roads. Relying on speed humps on roads leading to schools to reduce speeding may no longer be the case in Mt. Olive. Residents, for example, traveling near Chester M. Stephens Elementary School in Budd Lake may have noticed a recent change: The speed humps on the roadway have been removed. Karen Clint of Sunset Drive, the road that leads to CMS, shares her concerns at the August 5 Mt. Olive Twp. Council meeting. Her granddaughter is a student at CMS and she is fearful that more drivers will now speed on that road. Lots of people drive on that road—teachers, parents, bus drivers—and many do not obey the speed limit, she says. “It’s a straightaway of nothing but fastness,” says Clint. She says the speed signs on that road have stopped working and she would prefer that the speed bumps be reinstalled on the road. While some neighbors worry the change could encourage speeding, township officials say they have replaced the humps with pavement striping and will monitor traffic before deciding whether additional measures are needed. “The speed bumps leading to CMS are no longer there,” confirms Mt. Olive Twp. Business Administrator Andrew Tatarenko. “We have stripped the road and added fog lines which is another way to reduce speed. We will monitor the area during the school year and if speed is still an issue, will revisit the speed humps. “We are collecting new data,” he shares at the meeting. The speed bumps on school property parking lots, like at Tinc Elementary in Flanders, are still in place. “To clarify, speed bumps in elementary parking lots are installed by the BOE, which is different than speed bumps installed on public roads,” explains Tatarenko. “There are currently no speed bumps installed on any township road. The speed bumps were installed around 15 years ago and have all since been removed as we re-pave. They were placed on Tinc Road, Sunset Drive, Carson Road, Alcrest Avenue and Park Place. The Solar/electric Powered Traffic Speed signs are installed on various roads to improve road safety and to immediately alert drivers to slow down.” Mt. Olive Twp. Police Traffic Sgt. Bill Galop provides more details. “Currently, there are no roadways in Mt. Olive Township with speed tables,” Galop confirms. “Speed tables that had previously been utilized were removed due to concerns related to noise, maintenance and other operational considerations. Speed tables had previously been utilized to address speeding concerns and provide traffic calming, explains Galop. “Since their removal, the township has moved toward other traffic calming strategies that can influence driver behavior and reduce vehicle speeds without some of the disadvantages associated with vertical traffic calming devices,” says Galop. “When evaluating traffic calming options, the township utilizes methods recognized by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Traffic Calming Toolkit and selects measures based on the characteristics and needs of the individual roadway,” he says. Instead of speed tables, the township utilizes solar-powered radar speed feedback signs, also commonly referred to as driver feedback signs. “These signs display an approaching motorist’s speed, providing immediate feedback and encouraging voluntary compliance with the posted speed limit,” he says. The permanent solar-powered speed feedback signs are located on Netcong Road; Flanders-Bartley Road; Cloverhill Drive, northbound and southbound at Mountain View School; Park Place, northbound and southbound; Main Street; Corey Road, northbound toward the high school and southbound away from the high school; Wolfe Road; Sandshore Road, eastbound and westbound; and Connelly Avenue. The MOPD also has several temporary radar speed feedback signs that can be deployed throughout town “in response to a resident’s traffic or speeding complaint or deployed proactively by the Traffic Unit to study a location where a potential concern may exist.” Explains Galop: “The temporary signs serve two important purposes: They provide motorists with immediate feedback by displaying their speed and encouraging compliance with the posted speed limit; they collect and record traffic data, including vehicle speeds, traffic volumes and traffic patterns. “The Traffic Unit analyzes this information to determine whether a documented speeding or traffic concern exists, identify when and where problems are occurring and determine whether additional traffic-calming measures, engineering changes, education or targeted enforcement may be appropriate,” he says. These temporary devices will continue to be deployed throughout the township, he says, in response to community concerns. “The data collected from these studies is used to evaluate traffic conditions and determine whether additional traffic calming measures are warranted,” he explains. “Rather than applying the same solution to every roadway, the goal is to identify specific concerns through objective data and determine which measure, if any, is most appropriate for a particular location.” Back to speed tables. How effective are they? “Speed tables can be effective at reducing vehicle speeds in their immediate vicinity; however, they are not necessarily the appropriate solution for every roadway,” says Galop. “Vertical traffic calming devices can have unintended impacts, including increased vehicle noise, ongoing maintenance requirements, complications with snow removal, impacts on larger vehicles and potential delays to emergency response,” notes Galop. “They can also result in motorists repeatedly slowing for the device and accelerating after passing it, rather than producing a consistent reduction in speed throughout the roadway. Depending on the roadway, they can also encourage some motorists to seek alternate routes, potentially shifting traffic concerns to neighboring streets.” Galop says lane markings, like on Sunset Drive, may be a more effective way to go. “The markings reduce the perceived width of the travel lanes and create a more defined roadway environment,” he explains. “Making the roadway feel narrower to motorists is intended to encourage drivers to naturally travel at a more appropriate speed without the potential disadvantages associated with physical speed tables. “A follow-up speed study will be conducted on Sunset Drive to evaluate vehicle speeds following the installation of the new markings and determine whether any additional traffic calming measures are necessary,” he says. When it comes to traffic safety, Galop says the township focuses on engineering, education and enforcement. “Engineering involves roadway design and traffic calming measures intended to influence driver behavior and encourage appropriate vehicle speeds,” he says. “The police department works
Kean Secures $750K for Mount Olive PD Expansion
On Wednesday, Congressman Tom Kean, Jr. (NJ-07) visited the Mount Olive Police Department. Congressman Kean secured $750,000 in a key House Appropriations bill for the Mount Olive PD through the Community Project Funding process, which will be used for the construction and renovation of the expanded Police Department facility. “Our law enforcement officers deserve safe, modern facilities that allow them to effectively serve and protect our community,” said Congressman Kean. “I am proud to fight for $750,000 in federal funding to expand the Mount Olive Township Police Department and provide officers with the space, technology, and resources they need. This investment will strengthen public safety, support our officers, and help the department better serve a growing community.” “Congressman Tom Kean Jr. has been instrumental in securing federal funding for Mount Olive throughout his time in office, and I want to express my sincere appreciation for his continued support of our community,” said Mayor Joe Nicastro. “This funding is especially significant as the township moves forward with the expansion and renovation of the Police Department facilities at Town Hall. The investment will help enhance public safety and ensure our officers have the resources and facilities they need to serve our residents effectively.” Mayor Nicastro continued, “We are grateful for Congressman Kean’s commitment to bringing federal dollars back to our local communities. His efforts directly benefit Mount Olive and its residents by supporting critical infrastructure and public safety projects that might otherwise place a greater burden on local taxpayers. His advocacy in Washington continues to make a meaningful difference here at home.” “Congressman Kean’s support of this funding opportunity has allowed us to move forward with much needed infrastructure upgrades to our public safety facilities,” said Police Chief Mike Cordileone. “With his assistance and support we were able to secure federal funding though the community project funding process that will ensure the next generation of Mount Olive officers have the resources they need to effectively and efficiently serve our community, making our community safer and stronger.” Since taking office, Congressman Tom Kean, Jr. has secured nearly $22 million for law enforcement across New Jersey’s Seventh Congressional District through the Community Project Funding process, demonstrating a consistent, tangible commitment to backing the blue with real resources. He remains steadfast in ensuring local law enforcement officers receive the support and equipment necessary to keep our communities safe. In July, Congressman Kean announced that 18 Community Project Funding requests made by his office totaling $17,765,906, are included in key House funding bills for the upcoming fiscal year. Since taking office, Congressman Kean has brought back nearly $22 million in federal funding to local and county law enforcement.
