Montville Mother Makes Appeal For Service Dog To Help Autistic Son
F
By Dawn M. Chiossi ew things are as wonderful as a dog. These loving, tail-wagging pets are often considered part of the family. But in the case of a service dog, they are so much more: They are a lifeline to those who need them. Recently, Montville Mother, Faith Stanley demonstrated her unconditional love for her 2 year old autistic son when she recently reached out to “CBS News New York,” stating that he needed a service dog to aid him in his daily life. Unfortunately insurance does not cover the cost of these necessary service animals, so she set up a GoFundMe Page to do so. Joey Stanley was diagnosed with autism and a sensory processing disorder at 18 months old. In struggling with this frightening, isolating, and often confusing condition, he is considered a “banger” on the autism spectrum scale. He will often literally bang his head and chin when he gets upset, overwhelmed or frustrated- often bruising and hurting himself quite badly. At other times, his mom says that he will bang his head simply for the sensory input he craves. She even discloses that he will even bang his head on the sidewalk, or anywhere he is able! He literally has to wear a helmet to ensure his own safety. Knowing her son’s affinity for dogs, noticing how they would immediately calm him when they were nearby, Stanley shares that she came up with the idea in the course of her own extensive research on autism, investigating how it could help him with the challenges he battles on a daily basis. “One day I came across online about service dogs for autistic children,” she says. “I saw a video of a boy who banged his head like Joey and how his service dog helped him tremendously.”
In seeing how the dog could be so beneficial to another child with the same condition, she was even more determined than ever to help get her son a service dog of his own. “I saw firsthand how a service dog will stop Joey from banging and hurting himself by coming near him to redirect or going close to him to give him the input that he is seeking,” Stanley explains. In response to this heartwarming story, the community showed her an outpouring of love and support raising $18,730, in just four months, exceeding the $17,000 that she desperately needed to purchase one. Stanley, a single mother of four boys, who cleans houses to pay the bills, says that she and her family are overwhelmed with the generosity and altruism she has received from the public, thanking everyone effusively for their donations. “They have been so thoughtful and caring,” she says. “We are so blessed. That is
a beautiful thing seeing strangers helping us.” In an extraordinary stroke of luck, one of these strangers is Janice Wolfe, founder and executive director of Merlin’s Kids. Merlin’s Kids of Bergen County is a nonprofit organization that rescues, rehabilitates and trains shelter dogs to become service animals for children with special needs, giving these animals a second chance at life. These special dogs provide physical and emotional support as well as being health alert screening dogs for those with varying conditions. Each dog is specifically trained for the needs of the individual. Wolfe saw Stanley’s story on CBS News and it immediately resonated with her, knowing she wanted to work with this family. “She said she would help whether we get $2,000 or $5,000,” Stanley says.

Volunteers Battle Hunger With Organization’s Annual Meal Packing Event
V
By Dawn M. Chiossi olunteers from all over are encouraged to participate in the 7th Annual Community Meal Packing Day set for March 18. The Grains Of Hope Organization, in conjunction with the Community Partners for Hope based in Pequannock Township, hopes that its hard work and dedication will surpass its one million packed meal goal to feed the hungry. The event will be held at Pequannock Township Middle School from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Many are seeking to do their part to end the very real and shocking problem of hunger, which unfortunately so many people have to endure on a regular basis. Half of the meals are slated to go to the impoverished nation of Haiti, while the other half are slated to go to the NJ Community Food Bank and distributed to local food banks. Kathleen Edwards Chase,
lead pastor of The First Reformed Church, explains the history of this event. “The Grains of Hope Organization started seven years ago as an initiative of The First Reformed Church of Pompton Plains to give its members an opportunity to raise money for the life changing cause of providing food to starving people,” she states. “In our first year alone we packaged 50,000 meals.” This impressive meal packing program was so well embraced by everyone, that since then, many organizations, churches, and civic groups generously joined in. Since its inception, this mission has expanded to other towns including Lincoln Park, Wayne and Montville. The program raises funds and then utilizes them to package naturally selected and nutritionally beneficial dry ingredients in bulk. “The meals are highly nu100% Mailed, Bi-Weekly Newspaper 1 Old Wolfe Road Budd Lake, NJ 07828

tritious, protein-fortified, and non-perishable,” says Chase, “Meals that can reverse the effects of malnutrition and starvation. Each package contains six meals and is made up of rice, or mac and cheese, soy protein, dried vegetables, and 21 essential vitamins and minerals.” Volunteers of approximately 600 to 800 people demonstrate their caring and compassion by forming assembly lines to pack ready-to cook ingredients in heat sealed packages. They are then boxed in shipping cartons and then sent to on the ground partners. In addition, Grains of Hope also accepts monetary donations. Those involved are extremely proud of this community
event. “The key is to work together to do something,” says member Doug Cook. “It is the whole community working together. The goal is to pay it forward.” Describing how the event was a rousing success in its first year from the get go, Cook is thrilled to share how the meal packing event has spanned the generations, demonstrating that it is never too early an age to think of others and to give. “Of all the volunteers, approximately 31 percent of them are 18 years old or younger,” Cook says. “In the line we have seen parents, grandparents and grandchildren packing food together. It was inspiring.” To register, donate, or for further information or details, visit www.gohnj.org.

Montville Kiwanis Shares Common Interest In Doing Good
M
By Stefanie Sears ontville Kiwanis is a volunteer service organization led by President Michael Johnson that consists of about 30 to 40 active members that range from young professionals in their early to late 20s all the way up to some of the original charter
members in their 60s and 70s. Its goal is “to foster a spirit of community and serve as role models for our youth in undertaking service projects that benefit the Township of Montville and its residents.” Montville Kiwanis was founded in 1978 by a group of 28 local businessmen, politi-

cians, and volunteers to provide an outlet for financing and executing local service projects. Some original members are still active to this day. The organization was chartered under Kiwanis International, a service begun in Detroit, Mich., more than 100 years ago. Montville Kiwanis works to raise funds for youth activities,
scholarships and service projects. The program gives out scholarships annually to Montville High School students in Key Club, which was sponsored by the organization, who have displayed impressive records of community service. They also run the Montville Kiwanis Food Pantry by collecting both food continued on page 6

Service Dog... continued from front page vice dogs are approximately $25,000. “We are so thankful.” According to Wolfe, a service dog must be a constant companion, making the connection between individual and dog not only important; it is essential. So there is a lengthy and extensive process that everyone must go through to ensure that dog and individual are the best fit for each other. As such, Joey Stanley hasn’t received his dog yet. Stanley and Merlin’s kids are investigating dogs that are emotional support dogs that are calm and confident. And ones that are an ideal size as well. “Dogs that are big enough to comfort and provide protection, but not enough to overwhelm him, Wolfe asserts. When asked what kind of
dogs might work best for Joey Stanley, Wolfe mentions several that are possibilities including Great Danes and Cocker Spaniels. Stanley discloses that she and her family are so thrilled with everything that has happened so far, anticipating the best for Joey. “We are all so excited about what’s happening,” she says. “We can’t wait for Joey to get his new service dog and watch him in this new journey.” And her other three boys are just as excited. “We are a team in this home, so if it is going to help Joey, it’s going to help all of us,” she says. “I started the GoFundMe in hopes to start a dream,” she reflects. “The rest is a beautiful story in the making.”

Montville Kiwanis...
continued from page 3 and monetary donations for locals in need. Montville Kiwanis hosts fundraisers to perform such deeds. On April 29, the annual Lasagna Dinner will take place at the Montville Senior House and it will draw the annual town-wide raffle at the town’s Fourth of July celebration. It also holds social community programs such as holiday caroling at local senior homes and co-sponsoring the Archway Holiday Dinner Party for adults with special needs. Other special events include the Annual Thanksgiving Food Distribution, Annual Fishing Derby and Montville Day. Obviously Montville Kiwanis has been involved with plenty of community improvement projects, such as additional playgrounds, scoreboards, and home ramps for the elderly and disabled. However, one that stands out to Johnson is the Community Park Complex playground. “The playground area in Montville’s Community Park on Changebridge Road is a beloved communal focal point, and it represents the potential that our local service organizations have to make an impact on our community,” he explains, “The playground at Community Park was not solely a
Kiwanis project (though we did play a large part). It was a coalition of local organizations called ‘Project Playground’ that raised more than $275,000. Kiwanis members assisted with fundraising and installation of the playground. It was an example of what a community can accomplish when many groups come together with a common goal.” Montville Kiwanis also constructed a playground at 5th Base at the Montville Municipal Fields and Camp Dawson in Towaco. Another notable feat of the organization, while partnered with township’s Water and Sewer Department, is its “AdoptA-Hydrant” Program, which is still going strong since 2016. Its focus is to help give citizens the opportunity to get involved and restore the hydrants in town. According to Johnson, two-thirds of the hydrants have already been repainted. Montville Kiwanis meetings take place on the first Thursday of every month, usually at either Poor Henry’s Pub & Restaurant or the Montville Senior Home. Members, however, are required to be over 18 years of age. That being said, they are always open to new volunteers with different
skill sets. “Volunteering with Montville Kiwanis is easy, and we have a host of opportunities that will fit even the busiest of schedules,” says Johnson. “For example, you can sign up for a two-hour shift once a month with our food pantry, sign on to our email list for opportunities to volunteer at-will at upcoming events, or simply walk in to one of our meetings and experience Kiwanis for yourself. Even as a full dues paying member, the time you devote to the club is entirely up to you and what best fits your schedule. In return, members are connected to a network of like-minded local volunteers with professional and personal backgrounds from all walks of life. We are a diverse, engaged club with a common interest in doing good.” Anyone interested in learning more about membership opportunities can visit www.MontvilleKiwanis.org. “The old saying ‘you get out what you put in’ is very much applicable here,” says Johnson. “Montville Kiwanis welcomes anyone interested in serving their community, and has a number of opportunities for anyone who desires to do so.”

Homeless Solutions Honors Organizers Of Cycling Event
F
By R.E. Wagner or the past seven years, Marty Epstein and Bill Ruddick have collaborated to host a fundraising experience known as the Gran Fondo: NJ. Held in Morristown annually, Epstein describes it as an event dedicated to the ideas of sustainability, safe bicycle riding and support for local non-profit organizations through charitable donations. “I’ve always been involved in the community,” said Epstein, owner of Marty’s Reliable Cycle. “I learned about it in a cycling article and thought it would be a great idea for Morristown.” Ruddick is director of Gran Fondo NJ (GFNJ), and since 2011, cyclists from all over the world have been drawn in, generating more than one million dollars in charitable contributions for local beneficiaries. “We directly donate the money we raise,” Epstein said. “We work very hard, I’m very proud of what we’ve done.” But it wasn’t always smooth sailing. Epstein explained that during their very first year the event experienced a few hiccups before getting off the ground. “We had about 600 people signed up,” Epstein recalled. “That was the year that Hurricane Irene showed up. A few days before the race, the governor declared a state of emergency and we had to postpone for
three weeks! It worked out though in the end because we ended up having 800 people.” Of the many nonprofits who have benefited, one organization, Homeless Solutions Inc., will be recognizing Epstein’s and Ruddick’s efforts. On March 2, Homeless Solutions Inc., bestowed upon the two men the prestigious Dream Builder Award at their annual Dream Builders’ Bash at the Westin Governor Morris. “It wasn’t something that we were expecting,” Epstein shared, “but Bill and I are both very honored by it. I chose Homeless Solutions because of how they serve their communities, they do a great job.” Epstein fondly recalls an instance after donating $12,500 to Homeless Solutions Inc., to help one of their local shelters. “The shelter had a broken stove and no money to replace it,” he explained. “After our donation, they were able to buy a new stove and even had a ribbon cutting ceremony for it!” As for future plans and goals for the Gran Fondo, Epstein and his team are very optimistic. For the past three years in a row, the Gran Fondo Guide has been ranked as one of the top events in the nation by the Gran Fondo Guide. Epstein predicts that this year will be their fourth. “We plan on having over 2,400 riders for

our next event,” Epstein predicted. “We’re trying to slowly grow and keep making it as great an event as we can for our riders.” Note to the reader: A Gran Fondo is defined as an organized long-distance road cycling event in which a large number of cyclists ride together along a marked route. The next event is set for Sept. 9. Go to https://granfondonj.com/ for more information.

Montville Mathletes Take Home Win In First Tournament
Y
By J.L. Shively oung Montville math scholars tested their arithmetic knowledge at the Woodbridge Math Tournament held on Sat., Jan. 13. Five students collectively from two of the district’s elementary schools, William Mason and Valley View, teamed up to compete in the tournament. “This tournament was brought to our attention by a district parent who encouraged these five students, all of whom have a passion for math, to form a team on their own, as an extracurricular activity outside of school,” states Sandra Schwartz, supervisor of Science, Math, and Technology at William Mason Elementary School. The parent who suggested the tournament was Naomi Estrin, who found the tournament while browsing online and thought it would be a fun activity for her son and his friends from William Mason. The students who participated in this team tournament were William Mason students, Nicholas Ferrone, Curtis Wang, and Joshua Estrin alongside Valley View students Logan Fitzpatrick and Scipio Han. Currently, Ferrone, Wang and Joshua are in fifth grade but take sixth grade math at their school. Han is also in the fifth grade at his school while Fitzpatrick is in the fourth grade. This was the first event that these students have participated in as a team and was actually the genesis of them all meeting. Estrin explains that the team only had one practice together before the tournament where they took the opportunity to get to know each other. The tournament these boys participated in was part of a program called Perennial Math held at the John F. Kennedy Memorial High School in Iselin. The team, competing under the name

of Montville Area, to account for their different schools, was excited to take home first prize in their first ever tournament. Estrin explained that the Perennial Math tournament was “a very well done event,” keeping the kids occupied with mathematical games while they waited in between testing. One of the more interesting aspects of the tournament took place while the students were participating in the team component of the day. The parents of the participants were given the same test as the students to try their hand at their own bit of arithmetic. “Us parents did not do as well as our kids,” Estrin jokes of the activity. Overall, Estrin remarks that the group enjoyed their time at the tournament and were ecstatic to take home the win, which for them not only included a certificate of participation but Perennial Math “dog tags” as medals to represent their achievement. “This tournament is an excellent example of family and schools working together,” says Schwartz. “In the past we have
discovered several valuable educational initiatives through working with parents and students who show interests outside of the classroom.” The team’s Woodbridge win qualifies them to move on to the next level, says Schwartz. “As a district, we are helping to support their accomplishments by providing them with the opportunity to meet the requirements necessary to participate in the National Invitational Tournament.” This next tournament is set to be held on May 17 as a virtual competition. The online tournament, explains Schwartz, will have live scoring and will be the “first time a team from the Montville Public Schools will participate in the National Perennial Math Championship.” The requirements the students need to participate in the virtual tournament are access to the internet, a webcam, a laptop and an area to complete the questions in real time as both individuals and as a team. “As a district we are looking forward to learning more about this competition and supporting these student’s in their endeavors,” concludes Schwartz.

MHS Sophomore Tips Off Game With National Anthem Solo
O
By Stefanie Sears n Wednesday, Jan. 31 at 7 p.m., spectators settled into the Prudential Center to watch the Seton Hall Pirates basketball team battle it out with the Providence Friars. Before the game they were treated to a National Anthem sung by Montville Township High School’s own, sophomore Jeffrey Gallup. Though bass singer Gallup loves that particular art, he also appreciates acting as well, calling acting “the route of everything.” Gallup’s mother Davia signed him up for All Children’s Theatre in Parsippany when he was a child, thus instilling his interest in the performing arts ever since. Gallup’s father Jeff is a huge Seton Hall Pirates fan; through a friend there he was able to put Gallup in the rotation to sing the National Anthem at one of the games. A spot opened up and Gallup was able to step up to the plate. The vast crowds of the Prudential Center did not daunt Gallup for he has experience singing in that kind of setting. He has performed in the Paper Mill Playhouse Show Choir and at MetLife Stadium and the Mayo Performing Arts Center in Morristown, to name a few. However, this was his first time performing as a soloist in a large stadium venue and with that he faced some new challenges. “The challenging part of the stadium experience is that in order for the cameras and the audio to match up, the audio comes out of the speakers about a second and a half after you say it, so the reverb is terrible. It makes you want to slow down and drag the tempo out
of the song, so the challenge to just tone that out and keep going with it,” explains Gallup. Gallup was given four VIP passes for the event, for himself, his parents, and his father’s friend Jerry Barry. They arrived at the Prudential Center two hours prior to the game and entered through the staff entrance. “It was cool because my dad knew everyone there,” explains Gallup, “Before he retired he was a member of IBEW Local 164, so his electrical union helped build the Prudential Center.” Gallup was taken to the court to practice before anyone arrived to sync up the microphone and such. He had to time his singing to about one minute and 30 seconds and after initially timing it for about three minutes during rehearsal, for the actual performance he finally made it to 1:41, which is a solid time. “When you’re singing with such bad reverb in a stadium like that, when you keep singing, your previous notes are still there lingering in your ear, so it clashes with what you’re singing and it makes you think you’re wrong, but you just can’t second guess yourself and you have to just keep plowing through, keeping the inner pulse in your head, keeping the time going, and trying to stay in tempo and keep the sound moving along,” explains Gallup on how to measure one’s singing timing. Gallup hopes to pursue musical theater in college and professionally, and he is well on his way to doing so. In March, Gallup will be starring as the hilarious villain Lord Farquaad in his school’s spring musical, “Shrek

the Musical.” Some dream roles of his are Elder Price from “The Book of Mormon” and the psychiatrist Mendel in the musical “Falsettos.” “He’s just a really funny part,” Gallup says of Mendel.
“It’s my style of humor, heavy sarcasm.” Gallup also has experience with dance, film, playing the saxophone and was even featured in commercials.

Atlantic Ambulance Presents Child Safety Seat Inspection Events
O
By Kerry Breen n February 22, Atlantic Ambulance paired with Safe Kids Worldwide for a free, publicly-available car seat inspection. The program, known as Buckle Up, focuses on safety in and around cars. According to Sarah Daplyn, an Atlantic Training Center coordinator, these events are held several times throughout the year in various locations. The event included certified child passenger safety technicians on-site, who were able to help parents properly install their children’s car seats. “We typically hold our inspection events once every other month at the Atlantic Ambulance Air One helicopter base located at 65 Love Lane in Netcong, NJ,” said Daplyn. “Safe Kids holds these types of events all the time in various locations throughout the state.” According to a flyer advertis-
ing the event, three out of four car seats are not used correctly. According to the Safe Kids Worldwide website, one million children around the world die of unintentional injuries each year, and millions more are injured; car safety is the greatest cause of preventable deaths and injuries to children both nationally and globally. “Our sponsored programs and initiatives combine education, awareness, environmental changes, and safety device distribution to get communities more involved in child safety and keep families and children safer,” as state on the site. “We work together with communities in the United States and partners around the world to implement programs that will address the leading causes of injury and injury-related death.” According to the website, similar child car seat events are
held throughout the country, not just within the state of New Jersey. Most of the events are open to the public, and can be found in locations such as General Motors dealerships, hospitals, community centers and shopping centers. The Safe Kids company also has more than 125 Mobile Car Seat Checkup Vans operating across the United States. These vans are designed to turn “any parking lot into a full-service child restraint safety event site,” and almost every state has at least one van operating. Throughout the United States, 500 permanent child passenger safety inspection stations are operated, with regular times and dates available for interested parents and caregivers. Since the Buckle Up program was established in 1997 during a partnership with General Motors Foundation, the program
has grown to include four main components. The components included child passenger safety, which addresses car seats, booster seats and seat belts; heatstroke awareness and prevention with a campaign called Never Leave Your Child Alone in a Car; public education on driveway and parking lot injuries known as “frontovers” and “backovers,” which includes another program called Spot the Tot; and “Getting Ready to Drive,” which covers passenger education for preteens and teens before they drive and includes a program called Countdown2Drive, which teaches preteen and young teens about safe driving before they get behind the wheel. The program also works as public policy advocates helping states strengthen their laws regarding child safety in vehicles and drunk driving.

T
hough many taxpayers appreciate the income tax cuts in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) passed late last year, others are skeptical that it will simplify their tax planning. With every simplification, there are many more tax issues that still require planning to realize extra tax benefits. Here are seven of them: 1. Planning for all the moving parts In many ways, the TCJA gives with one hand and takes away with the other. The “giving hand” provides a lower income tax rate structure and a higher standard deduction, while the “taking hand” gets rid of personal exemptions, suspends many itemized deductions and limits deductions that remain. There are many variables that determine whether you come out ahead or behind and a tax planning session can help you figure it all out. 2. Getting creative and flexible about itemizing Many itemized deductions remain the same, others were eliminated completely and some have new limits. For exam-
New Tax Legislation Requires Planning
ple, while charitable contributions are still a qualified deduction, there is now a $10,000 combined cap on state, local and property tax deductions. The new constraints mean considering creative solutions to maximize these deductions. One idea is to make better use of the donation of appreciated stock as part of your charitable giving. 3. Dealing with new complexity in small business ownership Small business owners and sole proprietors will have to do a complicated calculation to see how much of the 20 percent reduction to passthrough qualified business income they can take. It depends on your profession and your expenditures on capital and wages. This calculation can get complicated very quickly. 4. Understanding the newly changed “marriage penalty” The disadvantage for married couples within the tax code is still very much in place, but it is changing. For instance, the marriage penalty that had given unfavorable income tax rates to married
joint filers when compared to single individuals goes away in the TCJA for most income levels. But it rears its head again in the $10,000 combined state, local and property tax limitation, which does not double for married joint filers. This is something you’ll have to plan around. 5. Getting credit for your kids There are many new tax benefits for parents in the TCJA. The child tax credit doubles to $2,000 and the phaseout threshold jumps to $400,000 from $110,000 previously for joint filers, making it available to more taxpayers. Dependents ineligible for the child tax credit can qualify for a new $500 per-person family tax credit. On top of that, distributions from 529 education savings plans can now be used to pay private school tuition for K-12 students. 6. Adjusting to disappearing tax breaks If your tax planning was built on any of the following expiring tax provisions, you’ll have to change your plan: personal exemptions; miscellaneous itemized
deductions; home equity interest; alimony deductions (expiring in 2019); the additional child tax credit; theft and casualty losses; and the domestic production activity deduction (DPAD). 7. Facing the old complexities Many areas of the tax code remain largely the same and contain both potential pitfalls and opportunities to find tax savings. Managing capital gains and tax-loss harvesting, charitable activity deductions and a tax-advantaged retirement strategy
are just a few areas where you can unlock extra value with smart planning. The big changes to tax reform this year may be disconcerting at first, but in change there is opportunity. After the dust settles on the 2017 tax season, get ready to take a detailed look at what 2018 tax reform means for you. Robert P.

Logo Designer Donates Sign to Montville Township Public Schools
M
ontville Township Public Schools received a large mounted sign of the district’s first-ever logo, and an educational video from Skye Dillon, principal and owner of Skye Design Studios.
