Photo Story: Heartland Humane Society

The Heartland Humane Society is an open-door, local, progressive, and non-profit animal welfare center. They opened up in Corvallis Oregon in 1966 by a number of different community members, looking to start a program to help the stray animals around Benton County. They are currently housing around 2,000 animals, and working to find all of them new loving and kind homes. They put on a number of different programs including Humane Education, where they visit classrooms to talk about care and treatment of pets, and Pet Food Pantry, a program that allows the community members who cant afford food for their pets to pick up free food twice a month.

Live Action Aladdin Review

Image
Photo Courtesy of Disney       It came as no surprise to me that one search of the 2019 live-action version of “Aladdin” on Google came up with a mirage of reviews with claims such as “an embarrassment to Disney” and “this is not what you wished for” and one scalding review after another.

Leatherneck to Learner: Profile on Mathew Ward

Matthew Ward Laughter is the first thing you hear when entering LBCC’s Veterans Center . On closer examination though, while laughter is the most prominent sound, it isn't the most important. In every corner and on every mismatched couch sits a veteran, all unique in their experiences, and yet distinctly connected. They yell and argue like old friends, even though many of them have only just met. The Veterans Center is a safe haven for all, and continues to be the place where they all come in between classes to study and be social. One of the more prominent voices, standing out through all of the chit and chatter, is Matthew Ward. “It's nice not to be around teenagers all the time, the Veterans Center is full of people at similar places in their lives,” Ward said. Ward is an engineering major, and as comfortable in the Veterans Center as he is at home with his wife, and 11-month old daughter. Ward spent five years in the Marine Corps stationed in Kaneohe, H...
