Wayward Penguin Released South of New Zealand by The Associated Press


1 He needed a little push before speeding backward down a makeshift slide. Once in the water, he popped his head up for one last look. And then he was gone. The wayward emperor penguin known as “Happy Feet” was back home in Antarctic waters after an extended sojourn spent capturing hearts in New Zealand.

2 Happy Feet was released into the ocean south of New Zealand on Sunday, more than two months after he came ashore on a beach nearly 2,000 miles from home and became an instant celebrity.

3 Speaking from a satellite phone aboard the research vessel Tangaroa, Wellington Zoo veterinarian Lisa Argilla said Happy Feet’s release went remarkably smoothly given that the boat was being tossed about in 25-foot swells in the unforgiving Antarctic Ocean.

4 Argilla said crew members from the boat carried the penguin inside his custom-built crate to the stern of the ship for his final send-off about 50 nautical miles north of remote Campbell Island. The crew had already cut the engines and put in place a canvas slide that they soaked with water from a hose.

5 But when they opened the door of the crate, the penguin showed no interest in leaving.

6 “I needed to give him a little tap on his back,” Argilla said.

7 The penguin slipped down the slide on his stomach, bottom first, she said. He resurfaced about 6 feet from the boat, took a look up at the people aboard, and then disappeared beneath the surface.

8 “I was really happy to see him go,” Argilla said. “The best part of my job is when you get to release animals back into the wild where they are supposed to be.”

9 The 3-foot-tall aquatic bird was found June 20 on Peka Peka Beach, about 40 miles northwest of New Zealand’s capital, Wellington. It had been 44 years since an emperor penguin was last spotted in the wild in New Zealand.

10 At first, conservation authorities said they would wait and let nature take its course with the penguin. But it soon became clear the bird’s condition was deteriorating, as he scooped up beaks full of sand and swallowed, likely mistaking it for snow, which emperor penguins eat for its moisture when in Antarctica.

11 With the world watching, authorities finally took action, moving the penguin to the Wellington Zoo four days after he was discovered.

12 At the zoo, the 3 1/2-year-old bird underwent numerous stomach flushing procedures to remove sand from his digestive system. He was given a makeshift home in a room that zoo staff kept filled with a bed of ice so he wouldn’t overheat.

13 A local television station, TV3, set up a webcam and streamed images of the bird around the clock. Soon, Happy Feet had a quarter-million followers.

14 And, perhaps befitting of a bird from the Internet age, those followers will be able to keep track of him for a while longer. Happy Feet has been fitted with a GPS tracker, and his movements will be posted online. Argilla expects the tracker to fall off the next time the bird molts.

15 Argilla said the final boat journey, which began last Monday and ran into terrible weather, was difficult for her—she got seasick—and the crew. The one who seemed least bothered, she said, was Happy Feet, who rolled with the swells, slept standing up and took nips at the crew when they fed him fresh fish.

16 Now that Happy Feet has been nursed back to health, Argilla said his chances are as good as they are for any other penguin in the wild.

17 “He swam away, not caring about us anymore,” Argilla said.

18 She paused.

19 “And that’s a good thing,” she said.

Excerpt from Saving the Thrift Store: A Drama
Lee Washington



Characters:
ROSA
LOUIS
EDDIE
EDDIE’S OLDER BROTHER

Scene 1

1 (EDDIE’S front porch, a Sunday morning. EDDIE and ROSA sit on the swing. LOUIS sits on steps.)

2 ROSA: Eddie, I don’t recognize the shirt you’re wearing. When did you get it?

3 LOUIS: It doesn’t look as disheveled as the soccer shirts you wear all the time.

4 EDDIE: Well, I’m not going to tiptoe through the soccer field to keep my clothes neat. (LOUIS playfully aims a soccer ball at EDDIE. ROSA deflects it.)

5 ROSA: What I was trying to say is that the shirt looks really good. (LOUIS wanders over to the morning newspaper that is still sitting on the front lawn. He leafs through it while EDDIE and ROSA talk.)

6 EDDIE: Thanks! It was my older brother’s. He always lets me have clothes that don’t fit him anymore.

7 ROSA: It’s a shame that I’m the youngest in my family, since I’d be happy to pass my old clothes to kids who wanted them.

8 LOUIS: (holding up a newspaper article) Look at this! A pipe burst, and the thrift store on Market Street was severely flooded.

9 EDDIE: Check out those torrents of water in the picture.

10 LOUIS: (reading from paper) A deluge of water drenched the clothing on lower displays. Employees attempted to salvage some items, but the majority of the merchandise was destroyed.

11 EDDIE: People contributed most of those clothes after spring-cleaning. The store lost all of its recent donations!

12 ROSA: That thrift store had a great selection of inexpensive clothes. Postponing a reopening is bad for the families that rely on that store.

13 LOUIS: Can’t they just dry off the clothes?

14 ROSA: After so much exposure to moisture, they have probably begun to reek.

15 EDDIE: I don’t even like gross, smelly clothes for sports! They should smell clean and fresh just like fabric softener. (EDDIE smiles dreamily, imagining fluffy clothes right out of the dryer.)

16 ROSA: I’m sure Eddie’s not the only one who appreciates clean fabric. We should try to help restock the store.

17 EDDIE: I’ll design pamphlets to encourage people to donate! We can distribute them in school tomorrow.


Scene 2

18 (A week later. ROSA, EDDIE, and LOUIS struggle to unload full bags from EDDIE’s BROTHER’s truck in front of the thrift store. A bag from EDDIE’s house falls out the door and spills open.)

19 LOUIS: Eddie, I hope you didn’t test out any of these clothes on the soccer field.

20 EDDIE: All of my donated clothes are perfectly clean. Actually, I’d say Rosa is our star athlete today.

21 ROSA: (balancing two enormous bags of clothing over her shoulders) We have an amazing assortment of clothing in some of these bags!

22 EDDIE’S BROTHER: My girlfriend and I helped collect a lot of those clothes. She saw a few of Eddie’s pamphlets around our house and made copies of them. I helped her pass them out at the baseball game last weekend. We let people drop off extra clothes at the high school.

23 LOUIS: So we managed to bombard two schools with fliers! Designing them was a brilliant idea, Eddie.

24 ROSA: Tomorrow we can come back and sort all these clothes. I don’t think the employees were expecting business to start up again so soon!

25 EDDIE: (marches valiantly to the store with a bag of clothes over his shoulder) Our clothes crusade rescues a thrift store in distress!
