Camden County College Gateway Program Gives Students a 2nd Chance

The Gateway to College program at Camden County College will hold its graduation ceremony for 84 students from 11 high schools throughout Camden County.

As a dual credit program, Gateway to College provides a second chance for students who have fallen behind or have dropped out due to personal hardships. The program allows students to earn their high school diploma while also gaining college credit.

“For many of our graduates, Gateway is far more than a program,” said President Pugh-Bassett. “It is an opportunity to overcome obstacles, redefine their paths, and achieve an important milestone: earning their high school diploma.”

Members of the 2026 graduating class have persevered through the challenges of parenthood, housing instability, homelessness, mental health, and more. Despite these obstacles, they completed all necessary requirements to graduate through the Gateway program.

Wear Orange Weekend National Gun Violence Awareness Day Recognized

Today, the Board of Commissioners will join Mayor Victor Carstarphen, New Jersey Moms Demand Action and other community partners to honor National Gun Violence Awareness Day and Wear Orange Weekend with a resource fair and concert performance by Tank and the Bangas. Gun Violence Awareness Day falls on the first Friday of June each year and Wear Orange Weekend is honored throughout the weekend.

Wear Orange weekend began in 2013 after 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton was shot and killed in Chicago. After her death, her friends and family wore orange – the color hunters wear in the woods to protect themselves and others – in her honor. In the years since, Gun Violence Awareness Day and Wear Orange Weekend have grown into national movements to honor the countless lives lost and impacted by gun violence in America.

Mackenzie is Protecting Child Care Funding & Holding Scammers Accountable

Congressman Ryan Mackenzie and House Republicans secured a big win for Pennsylvania families, passing legislation that safeguards federal child care funding from fraud and holds scammers accountable.

The bill ensures working families receive the benefits they deserve by implementing stricter reporting standards, increasing penalties on states and providers that misuse federal funding, and codifying fraud standards.

“Congressman Ryan Mackenzie continues to deliver for working families, protecting the programs they need and the money they earned. Meanwhile, Democrats are addicted to a reckless agenda that bankrolls fraudulent programs, taxes Pennsylvania families to death, and robs them of economic freedom. It’s just one more reason why Pennsylvanians will reelect Mackenzie in November.” – NRCC Spokesman Reilly Richardson

The Role Of Veterinary Hospitals In Dental X Rays And Imaging

You might be feeling a bit uneasy right now. Maybe your dog yelped when chewing a toy, or your cat suddenly stopped eating her kibble, and now your veterinarian and the veterinary team in Squamish BC is talking about dental X rays and imaging. You hear words like “anesthesia,” “radiation,” and “hidden problems,” and your mind starts spinning. You love your animal, you do not want to miss something serious, but you also do not want to put them through anything unnecessary.end

This is where the modern veterinary hospital can feel both reassuring and overwhelming. There is advanced equipment, trained teams, and a lot of information coming at you fast. Because of this tension, you might wonder what dental imaging actually does, whether it is safe, and how to know if your veterinarian is recommending it for the right reasons.

Here is the short version. Dental X rays in a veterinary hospital help uncover problems you cannot see by looking in your pet’s mouth. They guide treatment, reduce guesswork, and can spare your animal pain in the long run. At the same time, they should be used thoughtfully, with clear explanations and a plan that makes sense to you and your budget.

The Growing Role Of Animal Hospitals In Preventive Health

You might be feeling that caring for your pet has become more complex than it used to be. It is not just about food, walks, and the yearly shot anymore. There are vaccines to track, blood tests people keep mentioning, dental cleanings, regular visits to a veterinarian in Lake Charles, and all the quiet worries that come when your pet starts acting even a little “off.” Because you love your animal, that uncertainty can sit in your stomach like a stone.end

At the same time, you may also sense that something is changing for the better. Modern animal hospitals are not only places you rush to in a crisis. They are turning into long term partners in preventive health, helping you spot problems early and avoid many emergencies altogether. In simple terms, the new role of the animal hospital is to keep your pet healthy, not just treat your pet when something has already gone wrong.

So where does that leave you, standing between worry on one side and new options on the other, trying to make good choices for a creature that cannot speak for itself?

Weak controls let small errors grow into painful losses. Strong controls do the opposite. They keep your work clean, your numbers honest, and your reputation safe. This blog shares four clear ways you can tighten control in your daily work. Each step is simple. Each step is practical. You can start with what you have today.

Start with three core tasks.

Authorizing work such as new vendors or write offs
Handling cash or payments
Recording entries in the system

Give each task to different people. When your team is small, you still have options.
