180 Turning Lives Around stands with survivors of sexual violence. For forty-three years, 180, a private non-profit organization in Monmouth County, continues to provide support and advocacy for victims of sexual violence in the aftermath of a highly emotional and traumatic experience with the assistance of its dedicated Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) volunteers. Since 1996, 180’s specially-trained, confidential victim advocates, who are members of the community, with countywide law enforcement and the Forensic Nurse Examiners program, provide emotional support and assistance to victims, and their significant-others, during accompaniments for timely and sensitive hospital medical examinations, and police and grand jury procedures. The volunteers also provide telephone support, which includes at the time of crisis, addressing medical and emotional needs, information regarding the criminal justice system, and referrals for services. They also provide support and advocacy to the survivor’s significant-other and adult survivors of childhood sexual assault.

Be On The Lookout for the Spotted Lanternfly
New Jersey Secretary of Agriculture Douglas H. Fisher announced that the New Jersey Department of Agriculture and United States Department of Agriculture personnel had confirmed the sighting of the Spotted Lanternfly in northern Mercer County in New Jersey earlier this month. There were two confirmed sightings in southern Warren County earlier this summer.
The sightings have led the State Department of Agriculture to quarantine the two affected counties as well as Hunterdon County, which is between Warren and Mercer counties, to prevent the spread of the Spotted Lanternfly.
"The Spotted Lanternfly is an excellent hitchhiker, with the ability to travel on all types of vehicles as well as various landscaping, wood-based materials and agricultural produce," Fisher said. "It's imperative that we stop the movement of this pest before it can make an impact on New Jersey."
