And the winner is Captain. He won the title of cutest penguin at the National Aquarium of New Zealand by public vote.
Votes for Captain, who has one eye, rolled in from as far afield as Vietnam, Turkey, Costa Rica, Estonia, Trinidad and Tobago, and Venezuela.
Captain lives in the Napier aquarium’s rehabilitation centre after losing his right eye in an altercation with another sea bird.
Because of this he must be fed from his left side and wouldn’t survive in his natural habitat in the wild.
His girlfriend is Flip (who only has one flipper after being caught in fishing line) and they share a burrow..

Pearl Jury made history in 2018 by becoming the first woman to achieve her Civil Trade Certificate in New Zealand.
Right now, she is working on Hastings District Council’s new Te Pōhue water treatment site. That project is part of the council’s Hastings Drinking Water Strategy, which includes upgrading all small community water supplies across the district.
The list of projects that Jury has worked on across Hawke’s Bay and beyond is impressive – she and her digger have helped build airstrips, dams, subdivisions, the Hastings-Napier expressway, and the region’s newest major road, Te Ara Kahikatea.
Her advice to young women who love being outdoors and are deciding on their career options is to think about heavy machinery operation.
“It is fantastic; I love every minute of it. There’s something special about driving over or looking at projects you’ve been involved in and feeling a real level of satisfaction.”

Fire?

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

There appears to be a huge fire over by Karamu?
Hastings , Havelock North (except our house, by the looks of it) are in total blackout.
The orange glow is the fire and the black image is Hastings. I see 6 streetlights and I’m looking down over the bay.
