The Pride Alliance of Livingston wants to fill the county with hope and inspiration this June.
The organization, which is sponsored by the Livingston Diversity Council, is planning a series of outdoor and virtual activities to celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride Month. We had a creative group of people with really lofty goals of providing various activities in various ways, said Anne Rennie, co-chair of the Pride Alliance of Livingston. No matter how anybody wanted to get involved, there is a method to do so.
Pride Month will kick off with a Rainbow Reception from noon to 3 p.m. June 6 at the Mill Pond Amphitheatre in Brighton. The event will feature live music, sidewalk chalking and conversations about how to support members of the LGBTQ+ community.
For the seventh year, RESTORE is placing displays featuring hundreds of orange flags around the region to raise awareness for sexual violence.
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, which gives RESTORE and rape crisis programs nationwide a spotlight on sexual violence and the resources people can turn to for help.
In each of five counties RESTORE serves there is a display of 1,183 small orange flags. The flags represent the national statistic that an American is sexually assaulted every 73 seconds, or 1,183 people per day, according to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, which uses data and victim surveys from the Department of Justice and advocacy programs to calculate how often, on average, someone is sexually assaulted in the United States.

A settlement has been reached in a lawsuit between a former fire marshal and Putnam Township.
In September 2019, the Putnam Township Board of Trustees voted 5-0 during a special meeting to terminate Fire Marshal Jennifer Koch, who had been with the department for 23 years. At the time of her firing, she attributed her termination to alleged harassment from Fire Chief Curt Ruf, which he denied. Ruf said the township investigated the claims and determined they were unfounded and that Koch was let go after she walked off the job following a meeting concerning a dispute and then did not call or show up for work the next day.
