MONTREAL The pandemic has led many Quebecers to seek companionship by getting a furry companion, but as prices for dogs soar, some are fearing that missing pooches may actually have been stolen. The Turner family has been scouring the Laurentians for their missing six-month-old golden-doodle named Marlowe. Marlowe went missing on Jan. 2 after she was let out into their yard. The family has even gone as far as to involve a helicopter and a bloodhound to help in the search. Ava Turner acknowledged that Marlowe may have simply run away but “the other possibility is that she may have been picked up by somebody on the main road.”
U.S. Congressman Chris Smith (R-NJ) has announced the winners of this year’s New Jersey Fourth Congressional District Congressional App Challenge, part of a nationwide competition for middle school and high school students to showcase their software app-developing skills and teamwork.
The winning app (application), CollabraCart, was designed by Communications High School students Erin Hardiman of Spring Lake, Melody Lin of Freehold and Jacob Rosegarten of Morganville, according to a press release from Smith’s office.
“I am pleased to congratulate all the winning students at Communications High School,” Smith was quoted as saying in the press release. “The winning app, CollabraCart, is very timely in the COVID era in which we find ourselves. It can match people who are struggling to purchase groceries with individuals who are seeking to donate their time and/or money to help them.
