People heading for the Kootenay Lake ferry terminal at Kootenay Bay can get a look at just how long the wait will be thanks to a new webcam, reports Megan Cole for the Nelson Star.

The East Shore Internet Society set up the webcam as a service to the community, says Bob Carter, operations manager for the society.

“It’s been very popular. People think it’s the best thing we’ve ever done. It is really handy and I’ve used it many times myself, especially when the little ferry was running, I would sit there and wonder do I go for the ferry and think ‘not yet, not yet. Ok now!’” he said. The webcam can be seen HERE.

Happy Feet has become a creature of the Internet age. The wayward emperor penguin, who was discovered on a New Zealand beach six weeks ago and will soon be returned to the wild, already boasts an online following of more than 120,000.

That’s how many unique visitors have logged onto a webcam set up to monitor his every movement. It’s expected thousands more will follow his progress after he’s released in the coming weeks, when feeds from a GPS tracker unit attached to his back will be posted online.

Then there’s all the chatter about him on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. It doesn’t seem to bother his followers that Happy Feet, nicknamed after the 2006 animated movie, does little more than eat, sleep and occasionally waddle.

“At 11:20 p.m. in New Zealand, Happy Feet was sound asleep with his left foot and flipper sticking out,” wrote one breathless Facebook fan. “Five minutes later, he pulled in his left foot and flipper and just got up! ”

The penguin was discovered June 20 on Peka Peka Beach, about 65 kilometres northwest of Wellington and far from his Antarctic feeding grounds. He was moved to the Wellington Zoo four days later after becoming ill from eating sand, which he likely mistook for snow. He has since gained weight and been given a clean bill of health to be returned to the ocean.Thousands of dollars have been raised by the zoo caring for the penguin that wound up on a New Zealand beach. It will soon be returned to the wild.Associated PressHis unusual journey has captured worldwide interest. Local television station TV3 set up a webcam on June 30 in the small, ice-filled room at the zoo where Happy Feet has been recuperating. The phone calls began coming in soon after. The zoo sent a veterinarian to check the penguin late one night after TV3 was swamped by worried callers convinced Happy Feet had died, said zoo spokeswoman Kate Baker. It turned out the penguin was sleeping.

Then there was the email TV3 received from Janet in Chicago, who said she was ill but took “a lot of comfort in simply watching the penguin.”

“It’s kind of like O. Henry’s story ‘The Leaf,”‘ she wrote. “I feel as long as the penguin does well, I’ll do well.”  Thousands of dollars raised for penguin’s care

Gordon McBride, TV3′s Wellington bureau chief, said he and a colleague came up with the idea of the webcam. “When we asked the zoo, they said ‘Yep. Why not.”‘ McBride said. “It’s such an unusual thing, and people like to see that.”

Baker said that as a result of the “great response” to the webcam, the zoo is now considering live streaming other animals and the zoo’s medical procedures. Through a public campaign, the zoo has raised the $10,000 needed to cover the costs of housing Happy Feet, she said. It also has raised about $8,000 toward the cost of returning him to the sub-Antarctic ocean south of New Zealand, Baker said. That trip could cost up to $30,000.

She said the GPS tracker unit will likely stay attached only until Happy Feet molts next April and could come off sooner. The penguin also has had a microchip implanted in him which will be triggered if he roams near monitored colonies in Antarctica : Penguin followed by thousands on webcam.

Western Carolina University recently unveiled a new webcam designed to provide visitors with a “you-are-there” look at the newly redesigned central core of campus.

The new camera replaces an old unit housed at the A.K. Hinds University Center. Because the previous webcam was located behind a glass window, the image often was obscured by glare, especially during afternoon hours when it was pointed toward the setting sun. The new camera, which is located on Balsam Residence Hall, boasts an image size about 50 percent larger than the older model, said Jed Tate, WCU web services manager.

“The image has a wider aspect ratio of 16:9, so we’re able to show more of the campus than before, and the camera’s panning and zooming capabilities allowed us to position a better shot,” Tate said. “That means that instead of a small view of just the Alumni Tower, viewers can see the tower, the University Center and the new fountain.”

Color and brightness have improved as well, he said. “Daytime shots are much clearer, and nighttime shots don’t just go dark,” he said. “They can be pretty striking actually.” The webcam produces a “snapshot” of the central core area of campus, and the image is updated every 10 seconds. Visitors to the website will need to hit the Web browser’s refresh button to see the updated image.

In addition to giving visitors to the university website a look at campus, images from the WCU webcam frequently appear on local television newscasts and even nationally on networks such as The Weather Channel. Jason Boyer, chief meteorologist with WLOS-TV, the Asheville-based ABC affiliate, said he has seen a marked increase in the quality of images.

“The improvements to the Western Carolina University webcam have been wonderful,” Boyer said. “As a meteorologist, it has certainly been an integral tool, helping me see what’s happening in that area of our mountains, and I use this webcam on a daily basis for my forecasts.” The webcam can be found on the WCU website HERE.
