A large rottweiler escaped from a nearby house and attacked a 70-year-old man who was receiving his mail at the end of his driveway.

A summons was issued to the owners of the dog and required 10 days of quarantine.

Fourteen-year-old Sri Nihal Tammana of Edison was named one of three finalists for the 2023 International Children’s Peace Prize. At ten years old he started his non-profit organization “Recycle My Battery” which collaborates with like-minded individuals across the United States to introduce recycling bins specially designated for the collection of batteries. These efforts are crucial in diverting batteries from ending up in landfills, contributing to a more sustainable and eco-friendly approach to battery disposal. The award ceremony will be held in London at the Palace of Whitehall on Friday.
