Development and Trees

The overdevelopment of Livingston in recent years has become an unavoidable topic of discussion. As more and more construction commences in town, or is proposed to be built, it directly affects a greater number of residents. This includes some people that had no idea they even had anything to be concerned about before a builder took a look at a nearby property and decided they wanted to do more with it. 11/09/2023 05:00 AM

School Board Election

School Board Election

Election Day is next Tuesday, November 7, and this year’s ballot features two worthy candidates – Fang Gong and Harsh Raju – vying for one open seat on Livingston’s Board of Education. We thank both of these candidates for their willingness to contribute to our community. As past and current members can attest, being part of the Board of Education necessitates a huge time commitment and is a major responsibility. Board members help to shape our town. It can also be quite the thankless job, at times, so we are grateful to see two residents step up to make a difference in Livingston. Both stay-at-home parents who have children in the district’s elementary schools, we applaud Raju and Gong for their willingness to commit themselves to this position. 11/02/2023 05:00 AM

National Newspaper Week

National Newspaper Week

Next week, Sunday, October 1, through Saturday, October 7, is National Newspaper Week. The annual observance of the service that newspapers and their employees provide to their communities has been in existence since 1940; what is printed within the pages of newspapers has certainly changed since then, but the importance of the medium has not. And here at the West Essex Tribune, we are proud to be one of the only remaining independent newspapers in the state, bringing our community the stories that matter to them. 09/28/2023 05:00 AM

My mom was always a fan of fall. As soon as the air began to get crisp, she was at her happiest. As a child, I couldn’t understand that – all I could think was that winter was coming and that I hated snow. For most of my younger years, my favorite season was spring. I loved spring for a variety of reasons, but the top two were that my birthday is in May, and spring signaled the coming end of the school year. 09/21/2023 04:00 AM

Livingston has lost an icon with the passing of Joseph Fiordaliso. The dictionary defines an icon as “a person or thing regarded as… worthy of veneration;” and Mr. Fiordaliso certainly fit that definition. Before becoming a grandpa, he was known affectionately as “Joe Fee-o;” but once his precious grandchildren arrived he was always “Papa Joe.” 09/14/2023 05:00 AM
