RUFF Participated in Survey
Responsible Urbanites for Fido (RUFF) recently participated in a Affectiva survey to collect data for the company’s “In Cabin Sensing†platform for animal occupant detention.
Affectiva donated $25 for every dog owner that took part in the survey. The donations will be used to support RUFF and the two local dog parks.
Owners were handlers of the canines that sat in the front and back seats for about 15 minutes per dog.
The study was accomplished with total social distancing.
NEAA Little League Opening Day April 26
The 2021 North End Athletic Association (NEAA) Majors (Little League) baseball season will swing into action on Monday, April 26 at Puopolo Park.
This year, only three teams, Regional Review, San Antonio Club and the St. Agrippina Club will compete. In previous years there were at least four teams.
It appears that the COVID-19 pandemic played a key role in the reduction to three teams. Parents were apparently cautious about entering their children in the program.
Opening day will also offer two games by the Minor League and a game by the girls’ softball teams.
