Mayor Nicastro had the privilege to meet with the CEO/Owner of Abitronix Hugo Almedia. As part of Mayor Nicastro’s economic development program, he is meeting with all corporations, businesses, eating establishment, and professional services in Mount Olive.  He believes it is imperative to ask the owners what are some of their obstacles they are encounters, their wants  and needs , but most of all how can we as a township help them success. Collaboration, Communication and Caring.

 Animal Care Center  in Flanders .  As pet owners, we understand that your pets play a vital role within the family. Animal Care Centers was founded in 1998 with the idea of bringing the small neighborhood experience to the community. Drs Chris Hallihan and Kristen Casulli started in a small office in Flanders, and then expanded to our current locations in Flanders and in Landing.
The convenience of the two locations to serve our community allows us to offer services for all stages of a pet’s life. Both offices offer a quiet location that specializes in Fear Free techniques and Cat Friendly practices, allowing even the most timid of pets to feel comfortable when they visit.

Mayor Joe Nicastro had  the pleasure to meet Dr. Lederer Doctor of Cultivate Chiropractic . Located at 240 US 206 Flanders NJ
Although Kathryn has been under chiropractic care for most of her life, it wasn’t until she experienced chronic headaches in high school that she realized how life changing it could be. Regular chiropractic care allowed her to stop taking Excedrin headache every afternoon and helped her understand how her behaviors and environment affected her health.
Kathryn went to Liberty University for her undergraduate degree, earning a dual degree in Business Management and International Business. She then earned her Masters of Science degree in Human Nutrition at the University of Bridgeport. While she did her graduate coursework, she worked for the Midwives of NJ as a Midwife assistant. It was this work that inspired a love for working with mothers and babies, but she knew midwifery wasn’t the right path for her. She was able to witness the power of prenatal and pediatric chiropractic through the midwife patients and decided to go back to school yet again.
Kathryn attended Life University and graduated Magna Cum Laude in 2021. She joined the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) and has earned her Webster and Perinatal certifications. She continues to work towards her CACCP (Certification by the Academy Council of Chiropractic Pediatrics) so that she can better serve the children in her practice.
Kathryn started Cultivate because she believes that by investing in the health of pregnant women and children, we can cultivate lasting health, not just in this generation, but in all those that follow. “[She] who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and [she] who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully” (2 Corinthians 9:6)
Outside of chiropractic, Kathryn enjoys traveling the world, reading lots of books, and watching movies with her kitties, Crosby and Nash. She is a devoted “Auntie Kafrin” to her nieces and nephew, and loves spending time with her parents and 3 sisters.
