Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium Backs Wild Penguins

The aquarium has given $3000 to three non-profit organisations that support penguin conservation, to mark Sunday's World Penguin Day.
During the past year, keepers have been creating art- with the help of the King and Gentoo penguins- and selling their wares in the aquarium shop.
The team collected black pebbles previously used by Gentoo penguins to make nests to create miniature works of art.
They used the birds' discarded tail feathers as paintbrushes.
Even the penguins contributed to the cause by waddling through a puddle of non-toxic paint and strategically placed cardboard.
Staff then framed their paintings for sale.
Funds raised through the aquarium's penguin art project will be given to Wildlife Hospital, Penguin Rescue and NZ Bird Rescue Charitable Trust, which work to protect New Zealand's penguin populations.
"Our team is passionate about penguins and we’ve had so much fun creating our art over the last year," said penguin keeper Kristen Buckley.
"It's awesome to be able to raise awareness about the problems New Zealand's wild penguins are facing and doing it in a fun way."
The King and Gentoo penguins at the aquarium were ambassadors for their species, she said, inspiring visitors to learn more about them and find out how they can protect them in the wild.

Anzac Day: War letters to home
Sunday marks the 106-year anniversary of the first landing of New Zealand and Australian soldiers at Anzac Cove on the Gallipoli Peninsula.
For many of the 16000 soldiers, April 25, 1915 marked their first day of combat.
And by that night, 2000 had been killed or maimed.

For many of the 16000 soldiers, April 25, 1915 marked their first day of combat.
And by that night, 2000 had been killed or maimed.
We remember our Auckland veterans and fallen soldiers with their letters to friends and loved ones back home.
Here are letters from Michael Menzies, a Prisoner of War in Japan, to his friend Norm Ryder:
6/5/45
Dear Norm,
Still existing and anticipating a speedy reunion.
Appreciate your kind thoughts and wishes.
I often have the Queen St blues and a perpetual Waitemata thirst and occasionally a nicotine fit.
Received three of your letters and am anxiously
awaiting for more.
Your Affectionate Pal
Snowy
Michael Menzies' letter to his relatives:
2/12/43
Dear Auntie Kate and Ange,
I received your very welcomed letter dated May 25th on Nov 25 th.
Although Jack has received a parcel from St Johns Association London and a very brief letter from Kathleen, this is the first I have received in twenty two long months.
I had given up all hope of getting mail so imagine the thrill it gave me.
There is only one thing I need Auntie and that is news, especially of Pat.
Please don’t keep it from me if anything has happened to him for that would only hurt me all the more.
I can’t help but think the worst has happened to him.
How is everyone in New Zealand?
I have made several radio broadcasts from here, did you hear any of them?
Of course I know you’ll understand when I tell you that our correspondence is limited in more ways than one.
Please don’t send money as you suggested, but a few packs of cigarettes, gum, and a photo would be very welcome.
Apart from a few attacks of asthma Jack is very well and sends his love to all.
I assure you Auntie that you have no need to worry so much over Jack or myself as we are both together which makes it much easier on me and under the circumstances the treatment is fair enough.
There are many things I want to ask you and tell you but unfortunately they will have to wait until peace has been restored once more to this mad world.
Well auntie I sincerely hope this letter finds you in the very best of health and
Along with it I send the seasons greetings and all my love.
Lots and lots of love.
Mick

Kevin and the team here from BIA Kitchens and Bathrooms.
Having seen the team in action recently at Boulgaris Realty, we were so impressed we thought we would we would give them a mention as we love to share a good thing.
With the crazy world of real estate right now, our kitchen and bathroom renovations have meant that we are fully booked on all work for at least 3 months, which in our business is never a bad thing.
When designing a new kitchen we always ask "is this your forever home or an asset that you may want to sell in a few years?"
More recently it seems to be the latter and if this is you, then you will definitely want to talk to the team at Boulgaris Realty. Michael Boulgaris (Principle Officer and Sales Broker) is famous nationally for his many years of success with managing listings of New Zealand's top homes and now his team through his guidance are following in his footsteps. In particular, the rising star in the team, Kristos Tsitsiridakis.
Kristos's background in both the trades & interior enhancements industry and also extensive history in sales & marketing has given him the edge when it comes to maximising on the engagement and trust of his opulent prospective buyers and clients in the Auckland market. His portfolio of enthused clients in both the suburban and rural sectors makes him a pinnacle in performance, when it comes to getting you the very best for your future and your family.
So, if you have even though about your options around buying, selling or both, then you will want to reach out to Kristos for a consultation over a coffee and get the experts in your corner today!
