Support Boonton’s Initiative to Honor Fallen Veterans with Banners
BOONTON — The Veteran’s Banner Committee is reaching out to the community for help in honoring local heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. These brave men, many of whom attended Boonton High School, which included students from Boonton, Montville, Boonton Township, Parsippany, and Mountain Lakes, will soon be commemorated with banners throughout the town. However, before the banners can be finalized, the committee needs assistance in locating photos and branch of service information for the following men:
From World War I: Abraham W. Beddow, Raymond Bell, Joseph P. Bowden, George W. Buis, Thomas Byard, John B. Castmore, Carl E. Eckstrand, Harold D. Hildebrant, Herbert A. Hoagland, Stephen Krisanda, and Thomas Taylor.
From World War II: Jerome L. Arnov, Francis Bednar, Andrew H. Bladt, Roy C. Busse, Harold H. Daly, Herbert Darque, Arthur C. Davenport Jr., Robert J. Decker, Thomas DiCenzo, William Dodds, William Donos, Andrew J. Dziorny Jr., Richard B. English, Fred B. Estler, Donald Foley, David Healion, John Hoover, Joseph R. Hopkins, Louis Jacobus, Richard P. Kelly, Clarence H. McCain, Joseph L. McDermott, Gilbert A. Naughton, Chester Nycz, Charles P. Ofsonka, Joseph V. Pavliak, James Pazinich, Sol Petroff, Archie Piscitello, Wilbur A. Randolph, Frederick K. Rieve, Robeson Sherred, John E. Taylor, Wallace B. Thomas, Lowell Tuhle, Arumund R. Utne, Robert W. VanFleet, Joseph A. Zayac Jr., and Joseph J. Zibura.
If you have any information or leads, please contact Janine at [email protected] as soon as possible. These men, including two Medal of Honor recipients, were killed in action, and their memory deserves to be preserved with the utmost respect. Let’s work together to ensure their bravery and sacrifice are never forgotten. Thank you!
The Veterans Banner Program will be implemented in two phases. In phase I, which began May 2024, fundraising will take place for the 73 veterans named on the Town Hall Veteran’s Memorial monument; these are service members killed in action. Thanks to the generous donations received as of August 1, 2024, approximately half the funds needed for Phase I have been raised.
Your donation will help us meet our goal of funding all 73 banners of Boonton veterans killed in action during Phase I. Once Phase I is complete, Phase II will focus on honoring additional past and current veterans. More details about Phase II will be released as Phase I funding goals are met. To complete Phase I, we need your help.

OMBRA Salumeria & Bar is located at 516 Main Street, Boonton
BOONTON — Imagine a charming, picturesque little salumeria and wine bar nestled in a quaint small town, where outside the streets are lined with artisanal shops, coffee houses, and a wide variety of diverse eateries. Now, imagine you’re sitting in that salumeria, or Bacari, in Venice, enjoying a perfectly made Negroni, or maybe a glass of vino, as you watch assorted house-made Salumi (meats), such as Prosciutto di Palma, Bresaola, Mortadella, Cacciatorini, and Formaggi (cheese), including fresh local Mozzarella, Casatica di Bufala, Sottocenere, and Pyrenees Brebis, and much more, being thinly sliced and artfully displayed upon assorted charcuterie boards, creating an aesthetically tantalizing and mouth-watering creation of Italian delicacies, all loaded with great flavor profiles that will keep your taste buds happy for days. Well, that’s pretty much the way they enjoy a night out socializing with friends, and family, or even a business meeting in Venice.
Jake, Ombra’s skilled mixologist, expertly crafted signature cocktails while I enjoyed a Bourbon Manhattan at their beautiful oak bar.
If a trip to Venice is not on your itinerary, no need to worry, you can now indulge in a taste of Venice right here in downtown Boonton at Ombra Salumeria & Bar. Ombra is located at 516 Main Street in one of the many storefronts in the heart of a truly picturesque American town. Boonton may not offer the canals, bridges, and gondolas of Venice, but does offer a lively, vibrant, and diverse street scene that surely suits this Venetian-inspired gem.
Everything was fresh and delectable, and everyone enjoyed every bite. The sharing and conversation about the food and wine greatly enhanced the dining experience, and everyone was fully satiated when we cleared those plates. The unrushed pacing of dishes also allowed my group full enjoyment of our time while we enjoyed each other’s company and the meal.
The exterior of Ombra features red brick walls, large inviting windows, and glass doors, with stylish, elegant calligraphy clearly announcing the restaurant’s name. Simple, but attractive, classy, and welcoming. On entering you are immediately greeted by a friendly and hospitable hostess. The warm ambiance is immediately captivating, with an interior design that somehow makes one feel welcomed. You can sense an energetic vibe of upscale elegance, yet at the same time also find yourself immersed in a casual, comfortable, and relaxed atmosphere.
Tagliere (cutting board) including multiple selections from Salumi (meats), Formaggi (cheese), and Accompaniments, such as Olives, Marinated Artichokes, Sun Dried Tomatoes, Homemade Fig Cake, and Grilled Cipollinis.
I was early for my reservation and was offered a seat at their large oak bar, where I ordered a Bourbon Manhattan while I waited for my guests. I enjoyed watching as Jake, Ombra’s very professional and amiable mixologist, masterfully crafted some amazing signature and craft cocktails for the other patrons at the bar. The bar is fully stocked and offers an extensive selection of quality liquors and fine Italian wines, with a focus on those from Veneto. According to Ombra, their wine list would mimic a list that would be found in Venice.
An interesting note from Ombra’s website on how they chose the name: “The name Ombra means ‘shade’ or ‘shadow’ in Italian. It’s also Venetian slang for a small glass of wine, ‘un ombra de vin.’
“Legend says that a wine vendor set up his wine cart daily beneath a bell tower in Venice. He’d move his cart to stay in the tower’s shadow as the sun moved. That’s how the expression ‘to meet someone in the shadow of the bell tower’ came to mean ‘meet for a glass of wine.’ Over time, a glass of wine in Venice became known as an ‘ombra.”
Cicchetti, which are typical Venetian small bites served in the local “bacari” or wine bars and served on toasted crostini (an Italian appetizer of small slices of toasted bread with toppings).
The restaurant is broken into a main dining area and a lower-level bar. The main floor boasts a mid-century modern vibe with that large oak bar that I mentioned. Walls are covered with exposed brick, seating is along with side wall in comfortable tufted brown leather banquettes, dark accents, and white wood beamed ceiling, ornate hanging lighting, rustic wood plank flooring, and a white marble open-kitchen area, reminiscent of a charming Italian villa. Meanwhile, the downstairs offers a smaller bar in a dimly lit intimate lounge with velvet couches and vintage cocktail tables. One had the sense of being in an old-time speakeasy. They also offer tasting events in their downstairs lounge, including wine tastings and cocktail classes. I had my reservations for downstairs, but when my guests arrived and enjoyed a cocktail, they were so comfortable enjoying themselves upstairs that we asked to switch to one of the upstairs tables, which worked out great.
Truffle Burrata
The menu was broken down into Cicchetti, which are typical Venetian small bites served in the local “bacari” or wine bars and served on toasted crostini (an Italian appetizer of small slices of toasted bread with toppings). You might think of them as Tapas. Some examples include Shrimp, Corn, and Lime Aioli, Quail Egg and Anchovies, Goat Cheese and Long hot Pepper Jelly, and Sicilian Tuna. Antipasti, which would include among others Truffle Burrata, Charcuterie Tartare, Shaved Carrots, and Panzanella. Insalata would include Italian BLT, Red Gem Lettuce, and Caesar Salads. Tagliere (cutting board) including multiple selections from Salumi (meats), Formaggi (cheese), and Accompaniments, such as Olives, Marinated Artichokes, Sun Dried Tomatoes, Homemade Fig Cake, and Grilled Cipollinis.
We enlisted our knowledgeable server to help guide us through the menu, as well as the suggested wine to pair with our choices. We started with the cicchetti, choosing a mix of assorted toppings. For our antipasti we shared some Truffle Burrata, Shaved Carrots, and Panzanella. For our Tagliere we also shared a mixed selection of Salumi and Formaggi, with an accompaniment or two mixed in. Everything was fresh and delectable, and everyone enjoyed every bite. The sharing and conversation about the food and wine greatly enhanced the dining experience, and everyone was fully satiated when we cleared those plates. The unrushed pacing of dishes also allowed my group full enjoyment of our time while we enjoyed each other’s company and the meal.
Ice Cream Sandwich, which sounds simple, but was a complex and decadently delicious dessert.
Desserts were equally appealing. I was informed that all their desserts are homemade at one of their other restaurants, Sorellina in Hoboken. I tried their Ice Cream Sandwich, which sounds simple, but was a complex and decadently delicious dessert. Other desserts include such offerings as Rainbow Cookie Cake with Stracciatella Gelato and Peanut Butter Budino. As a side note, the owner, Gabi Lombardi, a certified Sommelier, currently has four restaurants, and I understand another one is on the way. Unfortunately, she was not in the house at the time of my visit.
Rainbow Cookie Cake
Let me end by saying that this Venetian-inspired salumeria and wine bar serves as a culinary destination and a wonderful gathering place for friends and families, creating memories over shared plates and laughter. When looking for a new and unique dining experience give it a try. I found it a memorable dining experience, I’m confident you will too.

Join the Fun: Madison Rotary Grilling Burgers and Recruiting Members at Bottle Hill Day
MADISON — The Madison Rotary Club is gearing up for Bottle Hill Day on Saturday, October 5, where they’ll once again grill hamburgers and hot dogs at Central and Cook Avenues. As in past years, Bottle Hill Tavern generously donates all the food, and the Rotary gets a helping hand from Madison High School’s Interact Club.
This year, Rotary members are also adding a second booth on Waverly Place to focus on recruiting new members. According to Rotarian Joe Smith, they’ll confirm the exact location for this booth in the coming days. The idea behind the second booth is to create a quieter space where potential members can engage in conversations without the hustle and bustle of the food stand.
“We get really busy with the food sales, so having this additional booth will allow us to talk with people about joining the Rotary,” Smith explained. “We’re just trying to increase membership.”
Smith has been managing the food operation for the Rotary at Bottle Hill Day since 2007, though he recalls the tradition going back much longer. Having lived in Madison since 1989, Smith notes that long-time residents always appreciate seeing the Rotary continuing this annual tradition.
The funds raised from the food sales are used to support grants for local charities, and for many members, the event offers a chance to reconnect with old friends. “It’s almost like a little reunion,” Smith said.

DOVER — In a public statement, Dover Mayor James Dodd calls for Second-Ward Councilman Sergio Rodriguez’s resignation after the councilman was charged with assault.
“Recent actions attributed to Councilman Rodriguez,” Dodd stated in a Facebook post, “cannot be overlooked.”
initially first-term Councilman Sergio Rodriguez when he was arrested in February, following an altercation with a group of homeless men he accused of public drinking. However, Dodd is now calling for Rodriguez’s resignation after the councilman was once again charged with assault.
According to an official document received by Morris Focus, (Complaint # S-2024-205) a complaint filed in Dover Municipal Court by Det. Concepcion on September 25 at 11:48 a.m. charged Rodriguez with 2C:12:1B(7) aggravated assault, attempted to cause significant bodily injury, a third-degree charge.
Rodriguez, elected in November on Dodd’s ticket, began his term in January by posting social media videos addressing “quality of life” issues in Dover. These videos showed him confronting individuals for alleged infractions such as public drinking and violating trash ordinances, mainly at the Meridia Transit Plaza. One of these incidents, involving homeless men, led to Rodriguez’s first arrest in February. In a video received via an OPRA Request from the Dover Police Department relating to the February 7, Rodriguez is seen in an escalating altercation, at one point kicking a clear bottle out of one man’s hands.
Meridia Transit Plaza has garnered a reputation as a frequent hangout for the homeless and individuals consuming alcohol in public. Morris Focus has been flooded with numerous emails, many including photos, depicting instances of public urination at the location. These ongoing incidents have raised concerns among residents, sparking discussions about how to address the situation and improve the area’s safety and cleanliness. Residents have also complained at Council meetings.
“Regrettably, today Councilman Rodriguez has exhibited behavior that is unacceptable and does not reflect the principles of leadership we strive for in our local government,” Dodd wrote.
“In light of recent events, I am formally requesting the resignation of Councilman Rodriguez,” he added.
“If he has not resigned from office before our next Council meeting, we urge our Town Attorney to take any possible legal steps to bar Council Member Rodriguez from proceedings for the safety of our fellow Council Members and of the community at large,” said Council Members Karol Ruiz and Sandra Wittner.
Morris Focus attempted to reach out to Rodriguez and calls went to voice mail and he has not yet responded to requests for comment.
Morris County Kicks Off 250th Anniversary Celebrations with Cannon Rededication
MORRIS COUNTY — This Sunday, a rededication ceremony for a restored Revolutionary War replica cannon will mark the unofficial start of Morris County’s celebrations for America’s 250th anniversary. The event will feature a ribbon-cutting at 11:00 a.m. in front of Acorn Hall in Morristown, just ahead of the Morristown Festival on the Green, which kicks off at noon.
The public is invited to visit and view the newly restored cannon, which stands on an island between Morris and Lafayette avenues, in front of Acorn Hall. The cannon has served as a symbol of Morris County’s rich Revolutionary War history for the past 20 years. Morris County played a crucial role in America’s fight for independence, hosting two winter encampments of General George Washington and his troops, and housing historically significant sites like the Ford Mansion, Fort Nonsense, and Jockey Hollow.
Event Details:
What: Rededication of the Replica Revolutionary War Cannon
Where: In front of Acorn Hall, between Morris & Lafayette Avenues, Morristown
When: Sunday, September 29, 11:00 a.m., one hour before the Morristown Festival on the Green
This cannon rededication marks one of the first events in a series that will celebrate the upcoming Semiquincentennial. Earlier this year, the Morris County Board of County Commissioners committed $100,000 to the Morris County Economic Development Alliance and the Morris County Tourism Bureau to coordinate the 250th-anniversary celebrations.
“Our 250th is a great opportunity for our county. We invite everyone who wants to learn about the American Revolution to visit, explore, and discover how Morris County played a pivotal role in establishing the best nation in the world,” said Commissioner Director Christine Myers.
The replica cannon was originally installed outside Acorn Hall, home to the Morris County Historical Society, in the early 2000s by the Greater Morristown Historic Foundation. The installation aimed to raise awareness of Morris County’s role in the Revolutionary War. Over the years, exposure to the elements caused the cannon’s wooden structure to deteriorate, requiring extensive restoration.
The Greater Morristown Historic Foundation, founded by philanthropist Richard “Dick” Deskovick, made significant contributions to the area, including the Patriots’ Farewell fountain on the Morristown Green. Though the foundation has since disbanded, its legacy lives on through projects like the Cannon. In 2023, Ryan Dawson led a group of local citizens to restore the cannon, continuing the tradition of community-driven preservation.
“The cannon’s condition was brought to my attention by Jennifer Wehring of the Morristown Partnership,” said Dawson. “She and I knew the community would step in once someone took ownership of the project. Between members of the community and civic organizations, we raised the funds to bring the cannon back to life. It was a true group effort, and I knew Morristown’s residents would rise to the occasion.”

Boonton’s Jordon DeCosta Makes Waves as New Jersey’s Youngest Varsity Assistant Coach
MORRIS COUNTY — At just 22 years old, Jordon DeCosta is already making a notable impact as the Varsity assistant football coach and head JV coach at Morristown Beard School (MBS). In his debut season, DeCosta has guided the JV team to a 2-0 start, centering his coaching philosophy on the pillars of “Mindset, Behavior, and Strength.” Despite a recent loss, his focus remains on fostering player growth and resilience.
A native of Boonton, DeCosta played a key role in Boonton High School’s 2019 state championship victory and continued his football success at Fairleigh Dickinson University, where he helped the team win the ECAC James Lynah Bowl Championship.
Now the youngest varsity assistant coach in New Jersey, DeCosta works alongside Tahj Valentine, who at 23 is the youngest head coach in the country. Together, they are building a team culture focused on player development. Reflecting on his players, DeCosta expressed, “This group has a lot of heart. Their commitment has been outstanding, and I’m proud of how they’ve tackled challenges and stepped up in every game. It’s not just about the wins; it’s about the growth I witness each week.”
DeCosta also holds Coach Valentine in high regard, viewing him as both a leader and mentor. “Working under Coach Valentine has been an incredible experience. His vision and energy are infectious. As the youngest head coach in the country, he’s proven that leadership knows no age. He’s cultivated a culture where players and coaches alike are challenged to grow daily. His trust in me has allowed me to take ownership of the JV team in a way that’s made a real impact.”
Coach DeCosta’s emphasis on relationships, accountability, and holistic player development has already earned him recognition. JV captain Jed Greer (#26 RB) shared, “Coach DeCosta has been the best coach I’ve ever had. He cares not just about winning games but about us as players. He’s made sure we’re improving and playing at our best. He’s patient with players new to the game and creates plays that suit the team’s strengths. We’re 2-1 right now, and that’s mostly thanks to him. He’s the best coach I’ve ever had, and I believe he’ll be coaching at a top-level program soon.”
JV captain Declan Drury (#23 WR) added, “I like how Coach DeCosta brings energy every day and pushes us to perform at our best. He’s built strong bonds with the players, and that trust has boosted our confidence.”
JV captain Jude Franco (#11 QB) commented, “Coach DeCosta is an effective and caring coach. While other coaches might overlook JV players, he ensures we’re healthy and performing at our best. He’s always positive and makes sure most players get time on the field because he understands JV is about development. He’s an encouraging and supportive coach.”
With his leadership, passion, and commitment to player development, Jordon DeCosta is quickly establishing himself as a rising star in New Jersey high school football.
