‘Sweet' pup survived hurricane. Now she's ‘living a cattle dog's dream' on farm
A 'sweet' pup survived a hurricane — then she got 'the ultimate happy ending.' 'She's living a cattle dog's dream now on a farm with lots of animals and lots of room to run, swim, and play to her heart's content,' Malinda Massey, marketing manager for a North Carolina animal shelter, told McClatchy News in a July 24 email. 'Seeing her not only heal but thrive in such a perfect environment is exactly why we do what we do.' The Forsyth Humane Society celebrated the heartwarming adoption after Lucy experienced a rough patch. The shelter said she had been living at another facility when it was 'devastated by Hurricane Helene,' which left parts of the Southeast with catastrophic storm damage in September. When Lucy landed at the Winston-Salem humane society, she was limping due to a broken bone. A team at Bedrock Veterinary Specialists was able to save her leg and help with the healing process. 'Lucy's injured leg definitely took a toll on her,' Massey wrote. 'She was on strict exercise restriction due to her leg injury. Cattle dogs like Lucy need jobs to do and lots of enrichment, so our team worked around the clock to ensure she was mentally stimulated.' At one point, someone tied to the veterinarian's office felt drawn to Lucy's 'sweet, adorable, and happy' personality. Though the woman was hesitant to take the dog home at first, the two soon kicked off their next chapter together. 'It was a big adjustment for her to walk around the farm with me and see all of the new things and animals,' said the woman, identified only as Brittany in a Facebook post from the shelter. 'You could tell by her face and eyes that she loved it instantly! It did take Lucy some time to adjust to my current pack of pups and to learn that the chickens were not to be chased and caught with our mouths!!!' The woman said Lucy became even more affectionate after she adopted her. Now, the pup loves being close to her new owner — unless she's trying to herd animals like geese or horses. 'It's the ultimate happy ending that fills our team with joy,' Massey wrote.

Photography As Relevant And Popular As It Was 50 Years Ago
Press Release – Massey University Massey University is celebrating the 50-year anniversary with an exhibition of images provided by over 100 alumni, former and current photography teaching staff. The exhibition is being held in the Engine Room at Masseys Wellington campus from Tuesday 22 … The art of analogue photography, darkroom processing and developing prints is in high demand 50 years after the tertiary photography course was first offered to Wellington students in 1975. Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuroa Massey University opened its new state of the art 18 booth darkroom in the former Dominion Museum building last week, alongside a suite of other photographic resources including lighting studios, film scanners, digital print and alternative process facilities. This semester, more than 70 students are enrolled in the first year Introduction to Darkroom course at Massey's Toi Rauwhārangi College of Creative Arts. Photography Major Coordinator Shaun Waugh says as the country's longest-running photography programme, the course is as relevant as it was at its outset. 'Our programme continues to shape generations of image-makers, researchers and cultural commentators who explore how we see and interpret the world around us.' Analogue(n.) exhibition opens today Massey University is celebrating the 50-year anniversary with an exhibition of images provided by over 100 alumni, former and current photography teaching staff. The exhibition is being held in the Engine Room at Massey's Wellington campus from Tuesday 22 July to Saturday August 9. The exhibition features images from photographers who are spread all over Aotearoa New Zealand and the world including Professor Emerita (fine arts) Anne Noble, David Cook, Wayne Barrar, Ann Shelton, Gavin Hipkins, and the founder of the original photography course, William Main. Renowned photographer Peter Black was one of the students in the very first photography course offered by the then Wellington Polytechnic in 1975. He remembers using photographs from a roll of black and white film developed from his first camera (a Pentax spotmatic) to support his application. Just seven years later his Fifty Photographsshow (1982) was the first one-person show of photography at the National Art Gallery. Mr Black chose a colour image he took in 1984, Woman with Lizard for the exhibition. Senior lecturer Shaun Waugh says it's ironic that in the same year that Massey's photography course began, Kodak built the first CCD-based digital still camera—a toaster-sized device capturing just 0.01 megapixels. 'This technological coincidence underscores a key tension explored in the exhibition: between the mechanical past and the computational future of photography, and the enduring value of analogue ways of seeing and making,' he adds. Photography is available as a major within the Bachelor of Design (BDes) at Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuroa Massey University. Students can complete a three-year BDes, four-year BDes (Hons) degree, a Masters in Fine Arts, Masters in Design or PhD with a focus in Photography.

Boats, aircraft resume search for missing fisherman
A search for a fisherman who's been missing in waters off Australia's east coast for nearly two days is resuming. The man, 56, failed to return after a day of fishing on Saturday. He had left Batemans Bay Marina on the NSW south coast about 6am in an eight-metre Arvor cruiser. Contact was made with the man about 10am but when he failed to return that night emergency services were called. The search by vessels, fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters, led by the Marine Area Command, continues on Monday. Marine Rescue NSW Inspector Stuart Massey said the crews from Narooma, Bermagui and Merimbula are determined to find the 56-year-old. There were almost 30 volunteers on the water across six vessels on Sunday, covering an area from Ulladulla to Merimbula and up to 22 kilometres seaward under the direction of police, Mr Massey said.
