Lonely Michigan penguin hopes for friends in Pa.

SAGINAW, Mich.

Dewey wanted to spend more time with Bamm-Bamm. That wasn’t good for Don.

So Don, a female African penguin, has a new home in Pennsylvania, leaving a Michigan zoo for a new life – and hopefully more friends.

Don and sister Dewey had been at the Saginaw Children’s Zoo since 2003. Spokeswoman Lizzy Schultz says other penguins didn’t seem interested in Don after Dewey became close with Bamm-Bamm, a male penguin.

Schultz tells The Saginaw News that Don “had no one to groom her, or eat with her, or hang out with her.”

Don’s last day at the zoo was Friday. Her farewell party included a frozen cake filled with fish. She’s now at the Lehigh Valley Zoo in Schnecksville, Pa.

Wisconsin’s Walker compares himself to Packers greats

MADISON, Wis.

Gov. Scott Walker is feeling so good about the role he played in Ted Cruz’s victory in Wisconsin that he’s comparing himself to two of the greatest quarterbacks in Green Bay Packers’ history.

Walker says Donald Trump’s decision to attack his record as governor is like someone going to Lambeau Field and “taking a whack” at Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers or retired great Brett Favre.

The Republican governor was commenting Wednesday in an interview on Milwaukee’s WTMJ radio. Cruz won Wisconsin on Tuesday by 13 points over Trump.

Walker’s approval rating is above 80 percent among Wisconsin Republicans, nearly double what it is among all residents. Trump criticized Walker’s record while campaigning in Wisconsin.

Walker says like going after his record, attacking Rodgers or Favre “just would not have worked.”

Florida man with Florida tattoo charged with burglary

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.

A Florida man with a tattoo of Florida on his face is facing burglary charges.

The Palm Beach Post reported Wednesday that 25-year-old Johnathan Hewett is jailed without bond. He has a map of Florida tattooed on his left forehead and temple.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office said Hewett is seen on surveillance video prying open the door of a home last month. Officials say he took a gun and two watches.

The homeowner identified him as the friend of a former roommate. Detectives say the video clearly shows Hewett’s tattoo spelling “red rum” on his neck. That’s “murder” spelled backward.

He was released from prison last August after serving eight months for being a felon in possession of a gun.
