The absurdly hot weather hardly dampened the spirits of those who marched in Sunday’s Peruvian Parade through Harrison and Kearny, marking Peru’s July 28 Independence Day.

As court date looms, NJSEA meets & again disregards residents’ concerns By Kevin Canessa kc@theobserver.com
putting a gas-collection system in at the landfill is cute and certainly necessary — but nothing less than 100%, full cap-and-closure, will suffice.

residents,” Ficeto said, referring to an earlier moment when Ballantyne scolded audience members for speaking out of turn out of frustration. “However, our residents feel like this commission and this agency is not being respectful to our Town of Kearny or its residents.
