Counselors from the Montville Township Public School District are teaming up with the National Council for Mental Health and NewBridge Services to offer a course on mental wellness to parents of local students.

The free program aims to give parents and guardians tools to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental illnesses and substance-use disorders, the district said.

"Montville Township Public Schools prioritizes mental health for students and staff," said Superintendent Thomas A. Gorman. "For several years, across Morris County's 'Proud to be Stigma Free' communities, the 'VIRTUAL Youth Mental Health First Aid' course has provided parents, guardians, and other trusted adults with effective tools to navigate the Mental Health First Aid needs of students in grades six through 12."

The online course is scheduled for Feb. 21 and Feb. 28 and will cover a range of topics including the signs of anxiety, depression, ADHD as well as strategies for interacting with children and adolescents in crisis. It will also expand on substance use, bullying, self-care and the influence of social media, the district said.

Anyone looking to learn about the role adults can play in bridging the gap between students in distress and professional help should register by Feb. 9. Organizers are limiting enrollment “to ensure a conducive learning environment,” according to the district announcement.

Participants are urged to register early, with just one parent or guardian per family, to accommodate as many families as possible, it states. Both sessions will take place from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Those interested can register through the Montville Township Public Schools’ official website. Teachers, coaches and camp counselors are also invited to take part.

People who register will receive a link to the course, which will also include a 2-hour, self-paced online class that must be completed prior to Feb 21. Participants must attend both virtual evenings.

MONTVILLE, NJ - After fourteen months of hard work and preparation, Stella Lee's dream came true as the ribbon was cut last month on 2D Cafe Tornado in Towaco, NJ.

Lee, a native of Korea who also owns Serenity Nails & Spa next door, and partner Eric Quan have created a '2D World' in Montville Township where it's like being in a sketchbook, one that Lee has been creating in her mind for many years. The entire black and white café is hand drawn and painted from floor to ceiling, corner to corner.

"It feels really good to finally open the cafe," Lee said. "I'm really excited. This is my dream."

Lee hired recent art school graduate Kai Moon to bring her concepts to life in this black and white 2D world, the first of its kind in New Jersey and only the fifth like it in the United States, according to Lee.

Lee and Quan explained how the floor was finished six months before opening the café, but the wrong sealant was applied and the floor turned yellow overnight. They had to strip the entire floor and start the process of hand painting the artwork for a second time. One visit to the café will show that this was no small task and certainly a labor of love and dedication.

The concept of the 2D Cafe, along with its menu, is Asian-inspired. The menu includes coffee, bubble tea, fruit infused lemonades, Korean-inspired shaved ice, soup, sandwiches and fresh pastries and desserts.

In February and March, 2D Cafe Tornado is featuring Jazz@Tornado live music performances by vocalist Jeeminn Lee, the Seneca Black Quartet, Montville's Ed & Maxine Alstrom and many more.

"We want to make a concert, a party, a place where everyone can come and be happy," Lee said. She's hoping to make these live music performances a regular offering at the café.

"The town needs a place like this," Quan said. "A place where adults and children can also enjoy the space for parties and events." Quan mentioned that the café was designed with a party atmosphere in mind, where the different spaces can be rented for gatherings.

2D Cafe Tornado is located at 662 Main Road in Towaco, NJ and can be reached by calling 973-265-4222. To learn more about the café and upcoming Jazz@Tornado performances, visit its website (https://2dcafetornado.com/) or instagram (2d.cafetornado).

MONTVILLE, NJ - The Montville ice hockey team has picked up its play at precisely the right time, as it closed out the regular season with three-consecutive wins.

It hopes to carry that strong run of play into the postseason, which will begin on Thursday evening when the Mustangs- seeded third- will take on second-seeded Gill St. Bernard's in the Haas Cup semifinals at 6:15 p.m. at Mennen Arena.

"It’s always nice to get hot at the right time, especially right before the playoffs start," Montville coach Anthony Iannone said. "Throughout the year, we’ve had some good streaks, and some bad streaks, but this one feels different. Over the last nine periods, eight of them have been played very well defensively. We’ve been preaching all season that offense comes through good defense. As of late, we’re seeing it come to fruition. Winning breeds confidence and good culture, and we look to continue that while giving our best efforts to continue this streak."

The Mustangs won the Charette Cup last season, and moved up to the Haas Division this season. It has still managed to maintain a high level of play, finishing third in the higher division with a 6-4 record in the Haas.

The trio of Matthew Trifari (24 g., 20 a.), Logan Engle (13 g., 22 a.), and Cole Riley (17 g., 13 a.) have paced the team offensively, with goaltender Alexis Riley (.855 save percentage) holding things down defensively.

It has played Gill St. Bernard's twice this season, starting with a 5-1 win over the Knights on Jan. 11 in which Matt Trifari recorded a hat trick and an assist. It then fell, 2-1, on Jan. 17, in a tightly contested game in which it outshot Gill St. Bernard's 28-21.

"Gill St. Bernard's has been a tough opponent for us this year, but certainly one that’s easy to get up for," Iannone said. "Put aside me as a coach...as a hockey fan, our two games with Gill have just been competitive, fun, and one that most would love to be a part of. Gill St. Bernard's is having a season full of highlight reel plays and great goaltending. It will be a tough challenge for sure. On the other side, we have some big time players that they need to try and stop as well. I believe in our team and our coaches. We feel that this will be our biggest challenge yet, but without a doubt, a challenge we will rise for."

It's certainly going to be the team's biggest game of the season to date, and Iannone is hoping that the Montville community will show up in full force to experience the thrill of playoff hockey on Thursday.

"We can use the support from our Montville community," Iannone said. "Often in the playoffs, the crowds get larger, the noise gets louder, and the games are played at a higher level. Our team would love if we can get more fans in the seats. If you haven’t experienced playoff hockey, now’s the time!"

MONTVILLE – Anthony Feaster emphasized the significance of getting off to a fast start.

The Montville junior receiver knows all about the grind that comes with a high school football season and knows how important it is to grab a quick win whenever the opportunity presents itself.

So, for the second straight year, Feaster and the Mustangs took full advantage in the season opener. Montville topped Morris Catholic, 46-7 on Friday in a Super Football Conference crossover.

“It’s always good to get that first win. It’s the goal every summer,” Feaster said. “But the big question in the preseason was how the big guys were going to be up front. We lost a lot last year. But they did a heck of a job tonight and I’m proud of them.”

The Mustangs had handed the Crusaders a 51-21 setback in last season’s opener in Denville. In that game, Feaster scored four times on six passes for 184 yards. Though his numbers weren’t as gaudy on Friday night, he still managed to rush for two touchdowns. Montville junior quarterback Michael Ciullo rushed for two of his own.

“I’m pretty confident in my play style. But I can’t do it without our front line and all my teammates,” Feaster said. “Everyone did their job. It’s hard to game plan against us. I knew they [Morris Catholic] were going to try to double-team me on my routes. But I have some good guys on my side and it’s something we’ve been working on all summer.”

The Mustangs raced to a 22-0 first-quarter lead when Sha-Kim Hicks opened the scoring on a three-yard run on their opening drive just two minutes in. Feaster followed with a four-yard run six minutes later. A safety made it 16-0 before Ciullo scored his first touchdown on a three-yard run.

The Mustangs held a 32-0 lead at the half.

What it means

Montville starts off a season with a win for the third year in a row.

Friday was the third meeting between the schools in the last 20 years. The Mustangs are 3-0 against the Crusaders with wins in 2022 and 2003 (48-0).

Morris Catholic has lost six straight dating back to last season.

Key play

With Montville leading 14-0 and 3:47 to play in the first quarter, lineman Dante Palladino sacked Morris Catholic quarterback Ethan Everett in the end zone and forced a fumble for a safety and a 16-0 lead. Four plays later, Ciullo scored on a three-yard keeper to give the Mustangs a 22-0 advantage.

By the numbers

Feaster rushed for 62 yards on 11 carries and two touchdowns and had three receptions for 28 yards.

Ciullo rushed for 43 yards on five caries and two touchdowns and threw for 131 yards.

Montville's Corey Wong had five receptions for 84 yards.

Sha-Kim Hicks and R.J. Fardo had rushing touchdowns for the Mustangs.

Montville's Matt Martino connected on a 30-yard field goal.

They said it

“It’s nice to start off with a win. It gives us a push for the rest of the season. It builds confidence going into the next game. We have to keep rolling off this and stay focused. More wins will come. This is a great team win overall. Our offense played well and the defense didn’t allow them to score. A good all around performance.” – Ciullo.

“The energy has been really positive throughout the whole summer. Once we hit June we were flying. I’m excited for this team. We’re trying to balance out our offense this season and mix it up. We want everyone to get touches. We have a lot of skill guys that can do a lot of big things.” – Montville coach Rick DeBonta.

With enrollment surging, Montville will put $70M school referendum to voters

3-minute read

Already exceeding state capacity guidelines by 149 elementary students − and anticipating a dramatic enrollment surge − the Montville Board of Education will put a $70 million school renovation plan to a public vote on Dec. 12.

Should the referendum pass in full, property owners can expect to pay an extra $410 a year on their annual tax bill over the next 25 years, based on an average home price of $535,000.

Space is just one concern the district is trying to address. In addition to proposing the construction of 23 new classrooms, more funds would go to "stepped-up security" of two-stage entrances at five school buildings that do not have them now. The district also hopes to replace the original HVAC systems in some buildings with modern and more efficient heating and cooling equipment.

“Given these needs, the board determined that a bond referendum is the best tool for our district at this time,” Board of Education President David Modrak stated. “A referendum puts the decision in the hands of voters to decide the future of our schools.”

Development leads to enrollment surge

The district expects to serve an estimated 3,439 students in the upcoming school year in the high school, a middle school and five elementary schools. Not counting the referendum, the district is proposing a $92.1 million budget for the 2023-24 school year, an increase of $105,000 over the last year.

With new housing projects already in development adding nearly 1,000 units in Montvale, the district anticipates an increase of 410 elementary students by the 2027-28 school year.

"We have taken every step possible to maximize space," Superintendent Thomas Gorman wrote in a statement on Thursday following the board's unanimous referendum resolution vote on Aug. 22. “We are relying on these short-term methods with the recognition that the schools will continue needing space in the long term to support our educational services and programs.”

Voters will consider two questions

The referendum will be split into two questions for voters to decide. The first, focused on classroom construction, would cost $53 million. The second, focused on security and infrastructure, would cost nearly $17 million.

According to the terms of the resolution, Question 1 must pass for Question 2 to be approved. If voters reject Question 1 but approve Question 2, neither would pass.

Question 1: The board is proposing the construction of 23 new classrooms; the division of 14 classrooms into 28 rooms that are right-sized for small group instruction; and the addition of multi-purpose rooms at Hilldale, William Mason and Woodmont elementary schools.

"Other elementary schools in the district have these now, and they ease scheduling challenges in those busy buildings," Gorman explained in his statement. "Together, these proposed additions would meet MTPS needs that are driven by current enrollment, evolutions in the ways instructional space is used and projections for future enrollment.

Question 1 costs are estimated at $53,002,289. The board plans to contribute $6,575,000 from its capital reserve funds. State aid is committed for $3,671,775 toward these project costs. For a home with the average assessment in Montville Township, these improvements would increase taxes by $326 annually.

Question 2: This question proposes a total of $16,980,314 for infrastructure projects, mostly covering security and HVAC improvements. The state has committed $5,773,307 toward these projects. These improvements would cost the average property owner about $84 annually.

The district used regular operating funds this summer to create two-stage vestibule entrances at Cedar Hill Elementary School and Robert R. Lazar Middle School. These funds would add two-stage vestibules that would "continue the district’s efforts to keep schools secure," the referendum proposal reads.

School officials promised to explore additional security measures in February after a 19-year-old man entered Montville High School without permission and triggered a shelter-in-place order.

Why go to a referendum?

Gorman's statement explained the referendum process, in which a school district seeks permission to borrow money through the sale of bonds. Property taxes are used to “buy back,” or pay for this method of borrowing as payments are spread out similar to the way a consumer uses a home improvement loan.

The upfront funding would let the district manage large-scale improvements that would be difficult to cover through the regular operating budget, he wrote.

“In addition, a referendum is a strategic way to fund projects because it’s the only route to a dedicated source of state aid," Gorman wrote. “Taxpayers across New Jersey contribute to this state aid, but it is only awarded to school districts where voters approved bond sales. A voter-approved bond referendum could bring some of that money back to Montville Township.”

What's next?

“After months of exploration, this spring we began sharing information about our district’s needs and the potential for a bond referendum,” Gorman stated. “With the board’s official action to move forward, we will accelerate our outreach with speaking engagements, a public presentation from the district’s architect, and a webinar-styled forum with Q&A. We are committed to offering multiple learning opportunities for the community now through December 12.”
