VICTORIA CRAFAR

A polar plunge has been planned to help the Rongotea community raise funds for its much loved, yet dilapidated, pool. Rongotea School principal John Elliot said more than $200,000 was needed to carry out ‘‘urgent repairs’’ on the 45-year- old pool. Elliot said the polar plunge planned for June 20, the shortest calendar day, will hopefully be the major fundraiser for the cause this year. ‘‘In terms of where we are up to, we have raised over $45,000 on our way to a $60,000-$100,000 Rongotea School is leading the charge to raise $200,000 for the rejuvenation of Rongotea community pool.

WE-7249007AA stuff.co.nz MAY 12, 2016 3 Ancestor’s war diary broughttolife

CARLY THOMAS

A treasured diary from World War I has brought a Palmerston North family’s ancestor to life on the big screen and their reaction was one of amazement. 25 April is an animated feature documentary created to bring the New Zealand experience at Gallipoli to life. The film’s characters were drawn directly from six diaries of people who were there and one of them was John Persson, whose family lives in Palmerston North. Arnold Persson said the diary was a real treasure for the family and to have his uncle’s story told was special. ‘‘It was really good, because as a family we have known about John because he was only a generation back from us. He had a young brother over there too and he was underage, only 17 when he died. John really wanted to protect him, he didn’t want him over there. So this has created quite a history for us and an interest.’’ The film’s director Leanne Pooley said the character of John was based entirely on the diary and the words from it became the dialogue. ‘‘We took the diaries and we Ron Persson, left, and his brother Arnold Persson look through the original diary written by their uncle John Persson (inset) and used in the writing of the animated turned them into interviews.

Taihape Gumboot country Happy ending for Anzac story

CARLY THOMAS

The story of a Waiouru woman’s quest of remembrance for a rela- tive who died in World War I has reached all the way to France. It means Sylvia Pene’s sorrow about being unable to lay a poppy on the headstone of her great- grand uncle Piana Pera has been replaced by gratitude for a kind- hearted French family who ensured his grave was visited, after all. Candice Hudelot, a French woman travelling and working in New Zealand for a few months, read of Pene’s quest. Private Piana Pera enlisted with the Bravo Company of the 1st Maori Contingent in 1914, sailing from Wellington to Egypt before going on to fight in the Gallipoli campaign. Tragically, Pera was killed when he was struck by a trackside object while leaning out of the train that he was travelling on to the Western front. Sylvia Pene travelled to Gallipoli, France and Belgium as part of New Zealand Defence Force commemorations but never got to visit her great-grand uncle’s Sylvia Pene’s story of her families military history now has some French connection.

Mike’s father already Contact Mike on 027 500 3026. had a disability requiring regular caregiving so Mike found himself, along with his two younger siblings, preparing a little earlier for adulthood. One thing that has always given Mike a great deal of joy is gardening. From a youngster attending St Joseph’s School at Feilding and then St Peter’s College in Palmerston North, getting out into the garden has been his place of peace. ‘‘Being out in a garden is always something that I have loved doing and I discovered that I was good at it. I take a lot of pride in what I do, and I gain a lot of satisfaction from seeing the finished results.’’ Now, Mike and his partner Jessica have a baby son of their own. ‘‘Becoming a father has made me realise that I want to take on more responsibility and look to our future. I have always had goals and dreams, so it now seems a natural progression to work at doing something that I love. Although I don’t have any formal horticultural education, I have learnt along the way.’’ Mike’s services include home and garden maintenance, be it clearing, spraying, pruning, rubbish removal or water blasting, in other words all those jobs that easily mount up when time is at a premium. ‘‘I know that regular maintenance of homes and gardens can just get away on you, then suddenly, you are faced with a mammoth task,’’ says Mike. Mike has invested in new equipment for his business to branch out, including chainsaws, heavy-duty water blaster, line trimmer and sprayers allowing him to gain momentum and do more than just lawns and edges. Mike takes the responsibility of removing all rubbish and green waste. ‘‘I am fit and healthy, and I don’t have a problem with the heavy lifting and carting, cleaning decks, paths, driveways and fencing or preparing stonework, laying new gardens with weed matting, design and planting. ‘‘I believe that honesty is the best policy. I am not an arbourist, so I would always point a client in the direction of someone who is more qualified than myself for particular tree AllanMcNeill are very proud and excited pruning.’’ Mike covers an area from Feilding through to Sanson, Bulls and Marton.

John, himself an artist, displays some of his work along with a wide selection from other established artists throughout Rangitikei, including Julie Oliver from Mangaweka, Desiree Singer, nationally recognised artist Don Hill and Gay Downing’s work that captures the character of our native birds. ‘‘The whole emphasis is on local art, ‘‘ says John. ‘‘Having the gallery creates a platform for locals to present their work and to encourage other artists from the district to come forward.’’ Lise is not short of talent either creating delightful gift cards and working with textiles. ‘‘We are now seeing people travel from as far away as Auckland and Christchurch, appreciating and purchasing the many styles available.’’ John and Lise came from Wellington originally.

WALLY RICHARDS Gardening

With winter approaching it’s an ideal time to prepare container plants for brightening up cold gloomy days. Winter flowering cyclamen varieties are readily available, the miniature types are often quite fragrant. Cyclamen prefer a cool or colder situation with as much direct sunlight as possible, making them ideal for windowsills, and for colour around entrance ways. They are not a flowering plant that can be left on a coffee table in the middle of the room except for short periods of time. Away from the windowsill or the outdoors, the leaves and flowers start to stretch towards the distant light and the plant becomes unbalanced. Stretching weakens the plant, making it sus- ceptible to over-watering diseases. When curtains are drawn at night, the windowsill cyclamen Bright and fragrant, cyclamen are ideal indoor and outdoor winter flowering plants. Just pay the indoor ones some attention for best results.
