MONTAGUE The Board of Education has appointed Krista Mikulski to fill the seat left vacant by Jennifer VanNess s sudden resignation two weeks ago.
Mikulski will have up to 30 days to complete the criminal background check required of all new school board members in New Jersey, at which point she ll be sworn in to serve the remainder of VanNess s term, which expires in April 2022.
VanNess stepped down in protest April 26 after the seven-member board voted to place Superintendent Timothy Capone on paid leave and withdraw its litigation against High Point Regional High School, with which Montague had tried to end its send-receive relationship that has often been testy at best. The relationship, dating back to 2013, appeared to worsen under Capone.

BYRAM, NEW JERSEY, A little over two years ago, the Boy Scouts of America (“BSA”) opened up membership in its flagship program, the “Boy Scouts” (11-17 years old) to young women and rebranded it to “Scouts BSA.” The response has been enormous with troops of young women forming throughout the United States, and scouts advancing through the ranks. One such troop, Troop 1150, is chartered to Sparta United Methodist Church and has close to thirty
five Scouts, who are actively engaged in the Scouting program, which includes,
inter alia, hiking, camping, aquatics, leadership and community service.
On Saturday, May 8, 2021, Troop 1150 will host its first Eagle Scout Court of Honor for three of its seven members of the Inaugural Class of Female Eagle Scouts.
