A plume of dust and gas from a rumbling volcano presages an explosive eruption. For western Morris County, the ancient iron mine shafts under local towns and roads delivered a threat in December when a 40-by-40-square-foot sinkhole opened in the breakdown lane of eastbound Route 80. 

Nestled in a narrow, makeshift balcony at the back of the auditorium of the Dover Little Theatre (DLT) are four chairs with a bird’s eye view of the stage. No audience member, however, will enjoy these prime seats. They are reserved for the theater’s resident ghosts.  

Joe Kubert was 2 months old when his family moved to New York City from Poland in 1926. He illustrated his first comic book, Voltan, when he was 12 years old. He was famed for creating comic-book legends such as Hawkman, Sgt. Rock and Tarzan. Kubert was as hardworking as he was talented, setting the standard for visionary artists who brought comic books into the mainstream and fueled the dreams of fans and aficionados worldwide.

Dover is a town shaped by culture, resilience, and transformation. For decades, Latino families have played a vital role in building and enriching this community, yet their stories have often gone untold. “Nuestra Historia: The Latino Legacy in Dover” is a new project committed to changing that. 

In the last issue of DOVERNOW, an opinion piece was published advocating for the Immigrant Trust Act (ITA) as a way to protect immigrant communities in New Jersey.

The winners will boast of their accomplishments. Other competitors will lament the ones that got away, but more than 100 K-12 students agreed that there was something fishy about the 20th Mayor's Fishing Derby in Hurd Park – and they loved every minute of it.

Stephen Zuluaga is a proud Dover native starting a career in sales and development. He also coaches soccer and works at Dover Sportsplex. His work in the community inspired him to seek out other young men and women looking for connections, motivation, and professional support.
