<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As part of the <a href="http://www.nationaltrustfestival.org.au/" target="_blank">National Trust Heritage Festival</a>, Hurstville Museum & Gallery hosted a talk on Monday 11 May 2015 to complement this year’s theme conflict and compassion. The presentation, given by Local Studies officer David Clarke, highlighted the compassion and camaraderie shown by the people of the Hurstville district during the trying times of the Great War. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Through letters, diary extracts and correspondence the experiences of local service men and their loved ones came alive to paint a holistic picture of the impact of the conflict. Hearing such personal stories was an incredibly emotional and touching experience for the audience. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Two stories in particular stood out for the remarkable way in which they intersected. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The SS </span><i style="font-family: inherit;">Barunga</i><span style="font-family: inherit;">, a former German-Australian liner seized by Australia Government at the beginning of the war and repurposed as a transporter, was the common thread joining the experiences of Hurstville residents Mrs Margaret Edser and Hurstville servicemen </span><a href="http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/ViewImage.aspx?B=3524569" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">William John Duffell</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">. Following the death of her husband, </span><a href="http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/ViewImage.aspx?B=1933553" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">Charles Edser</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">, on the Western Front in 1917, Mrs Edser pursued a lengthy quest for the return of her late husband’s belongings, to be shipped home. It happened that the belongings met the same fate as the gunner William Jon Duffell when the SS </span><i style="font-family: inherit;">Barunga</i><span style="font-family: inherit;"> sunk after being struck by a torpedo in July 1918. Fortunately, William John Duffell was among the survivors who were rescued. He later remembered: </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
I was travelling to Bundanoon with my hubby for the Easter
break. While he was driving, I was thinking about how lucky I was to have a
week off work, but somehow I found my mind was back at work organising the next
Family Story time at Penshurst Library.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The theme is “Pigs” and the first thing that popped into my
head was the famous fairy tale of “The Three Little Pigs”. I started to think
about the mother of The Three Little Pigs. What was it like for her to have her 3 boys leave home all on the one
day? Was she overjoyed, thinking about
how much more food she will have in the house, or was she sad to see them all
leave?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Over a year ago, 3 of my 4 children left home in 3 months! I
thought that was hard. I don’t know how Mrs Piggy coped having her “babies” all
leave on the one day! I cried every time one of my kids left home. Of course I
was happy they were spreading their wings and making a new life of their own,
but my heart had to let go of my kids. One of my kids moved into a wooden house
and 2 into a brick house. At least one didn’t move into a house built of
straw!!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I also wondered; did Mrs Piggy have any other little piglets
at home? 1, 2, 3, or maybe none. I have one of my children left at home and I
love her being at home, but I know it is hard for her to be the only one
left. Oh, and what about Mr Piggy? How
was he feeling about his 3 sons moving out?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On top of all these thoughts, my mind wandered back to a
trip my family had a couple of years ago to Tanna, Vanuatu. Tanna was the
island that recently copped a direct hit from a category 5 cyclone “Pam”. We
spent 2 weeks at a school in Tanna. My job at the school was to help in the
library. I decided to do a theme on fairy tales. I was telling them the story
of The Three Little Pigs. They hadn’t heard it before. By the time I as half
way through the story I was feeling that this probably wasn’t the best fairy
tale to read to them. I was up to the part where the little pig made his house
out of straw and the big bad wolf huffed and puffed and blew his house down. I
realised while telling this story that pretty much all of the houses on Tanna
are made out of straw or sticks!!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the recent cyclone
so many of the houses in the villages were flattened!! Thankfully the school
buildings remained intact and sheltered the villagers from a storm none of them
had experienced in their life time. The buildings are still sheltering the
villagers until they rebuild their homes. So I guess The Three Little Pigs
really does teach us some life lessons.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anyway, if you have kids, come along to Penshurst Library’s
family story time and we will retell the story of “The Three Little Pigs”, play
piggy games, and have lots of piggy fun!<o:p></o:p></div>

Homefront support: Hurstville's carnivals and sport demonstrations</h3>
<br />
Soon after the war broke out in 1914, music and theatre events, carnivals and sport demonstrations were regularly held in the local area to raise funds to support the nation during the war.<br />
<br />
The carnival programs, many of them held at Hurstville Oval, would include games such as egg and spoon races, handicap wood chopping and greased pig chasing.<br />
<br />
In November 1914, a ‘sports demonstration’ involving athletic events, processions and displays by school children and military units was staged at Hurstville Oval for the benefit of the Patriotic<br />
Fund. The fund had been founded by the Lord Mayor of Sydney, Alderman P.W. Richards, to support the families of the Australian military personnel.<br />
<br />
The <i>Hurstville Propeller</i> reported on 4 December 1914, p. 2:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Saturday last was a gala day in Hurstville, when the sports demonstration arranged by the combined lodges and the citizen committee took place."</blockquote>

Another carnival was held at Hurstville Oval on 20 April 1918, in aid of the local War Relief Fund, "to gather funds to disburse among local soldiers or their dependants who may be in need" (<i>Hurstville Propeller</i>, 12 April 1018, p. 2). Despite heavy rain, around 5000 to 6000 people enjoyed the event. Only the night program was cancelled due to the bad weather (<i>St George Call</i>, 27 April 1918, p. 6).<br />

really matter. This book is very honest and explores the ongoing relationship
of trust that Amanda Palmer has with the world. I loved reading the ‘rockstar’
stories of her life as a living statue and couchsurfing as she played gigs
across the world, alongside her personal battles like dealing with a friends
illness and falling in love with someone unexpected (in this case, writer Neil

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell</i></span></div>
<br />
Park is a quiet boy who loathes attention. Eleanor is a big, red-headed new girl whose gawkiness and style makes her stand out like a sore thumb. On Eleanor's first day, Park hesitantly invites her to sit next to him on the crowded bus and the pair share awkward trips to and from school, until they begin to realise they amicably share similar tastes in comic books and music. As time passes they both fall into a flurry of first love and nothing is ever the same.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvlPi8_6DbaRVfIXNYix6MGm0vJFSDGhInLdREmY89UA8yZSq-R2DYrI5s0EWVIxVZpSp-LkwpOkhCl65Vd3Y3r00PQwKf9IAz8EXmMohD1TPDI70TUNSO6ndmHp-4PtDtNISX_rmhEnI/s1600/Eleanor+and+Park+by+Rainbow+Rowell.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvlPi8_6DbaRVfIXNYix6MGm0vJFSDGhInLdREmY89UA8yZSq-R2DYrI5s0EWVIxVZpSp-LkwpOkhCl65Vd3Y3r00PQwKf9IAz8EXmMohD1TPDI70TUNSO6ndmHp-4PtDtNISX_rmhEnI/s1600/Eleanor+and+Park+by+Rainbow+Rowell.JPG" height="320" width="208" /></a></div>
I owned this book for a year before I decided to read it and I can't believe that I waited so long! Rainbow Rowell never fails to produce an amazing story and Eleanor and Park is no exception. I can see myself re-reading it in the future because the story was so captivating and I'm so fond of the characters.<br />
<br />
It's easy to identify with the characters in this book. Park is an introvert who finds that the best way to deal with his teenage angst is to listen to music and keep to himself. Eleanor wants to be an individual, to stand out from the rest, and she expresses this through an outrageous style of fashion. If you read this book, not only will you fall in love with the story, but you will fall in love with the characters too.<br />
<br />
This is a story that has won over my heart and I won't ever forget it. It's beautiful and it perfectly depicts the awkwardness and clumsiness of falling in love for the first time. Although this is categorised as a teen fiction/young adult novel, I <strike>believe</strike><b> <u>know</u> </b>that this is a book that can also be enjoyed by adults.<br />
<br />
Eleanor and Park is available for loan at Hurstville City Library. Don't cheat yourself out of reading this beautiful book! <a href="http://libcatalogue.hurstville.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/ENQ/OPAC/BIBENQ?BRN=249197" target="_blank">Click here to view Eleanor and Park in the Hurstville City Library catalogue.</a><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven</i></span><br />
<br />
This story follows the companionship between Violet Markey, a girl who has recently lost her sister in a car accident, and Theodore Finch, a charismatic and troubled boy who suffers from bipolar disorder. They meet each other on top of the school bell tower and from the moment they meet they begin an unlikely friendship.<br />
<br />
I cannot give this book enough praise, I am still whirling from the experience of reading it. It is as beautiful as it is heartbreaking, and most importantly it tackles a delicate issue - mental illness.<br />
<br />
Violet and Finch get paired up together for a Geography project, which sends them travelling to find 'the wonders of their state'. They learn more about one another as each new adventure passes, each of them discovering more details about the others depression and dark thoughts.<br />
<br />
I was gripped from the very first page and once I picked the book up I could not put it down. A book like this, including its characters and messages, stays with you forever.<br />
<br />
This story changed my life. It is so confronting and <i>raw</i>. It shows that people from all walks of life can be affected by mental illness, no matter who they are or what they've been through.<br />
<br />
Experience the journey with Violet and Finch and borrow this book from our library! <a href="http://libcatalogue.hurstville.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/ENQ/OPAC/BIBENQ?BRN=279505" target="_blank">Click here to see All the Bright Places in our catalogue.</a><br />

Keith Richards has written a delightful picture
book for children about how his grandfather Theodore Augustus Dupree bought him
his first guitar. The story is presented as a tribute to his grandfather and
includes family photographs and vibrant artwork by Keith’s daughter, Theodora
Richards. Accompanying the book is a compact disc with a reading by Keith.

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Hurstville Sailors’ and Soldiers’ Memorial Monument, was unveiled in May 1922 to honour local people who died as a result of their involvement in the First World War. The monumnet was created through the industry and generosity of the Hurstville community. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The memorial was initially proposed to be a Memorial School of Arts building in MacMahon Street which would honour those killed in the conflict whilst also providing social and educational facilities for returned veterans. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ultimately however, the community decided to construct both a monument and a Soldiers’ Memorial Hall, the latter being officially opened in June 1929 and later becoming the Hurstville RSL Club. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The monument survived a proposal for its relocation in 1926 after which its surrounds were improved with the addition of turf, gardens, pathways and a flagpole. Fittingly, the names of local people killed in subsequent wars have been added to the monument. The memorial has witnessed the ebb and flow of passion for the commemoration of conflict, its very surrounds have undergone change, but its essential core, afforded it by the sacrifice of those it honours and the foresight and spirit of the community which insisted on its creation has been undiminished by time, adding to its reverence and empowering its manifold significance as local landmark, civic facility and, most poignantly, monument of tribute.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ANZAC DAY TRADITIONS </span></b></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The landing of Australian and New
Zealand troops at Gallipoli on the 25<span style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">th</span> of April 1915 founded the
events that were to inspire and sustain a potent Anzac legend. We remember this
legend each year on Anzac Day, as we did 99 years ago on that first Anzac Day
in 1916.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Looking back today, it is hard for
us to truly empathise with what the first anniversary of the Anzac landing
meant to those soldiers who had served in Gallipoli. Some light can be shed by
the first-hand accounts of Australian servicemen who experienced Anzac Day with
their comrades. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

brothers William and George Simms, of Penshurst, paint the scene of Anzac
commemorations in Egypt in 1916. Their correspondence was published in the <i>Hurstville Propeller </i>in June of that
year.<span class="MsoFootnoteReference"> <a href="file:///C:/Users/bheilmann/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/Content.Outlook/S2F77C56/Anzac%20traditions%20blog.docx#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" title=""><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[1]<b> </b></span></span></a></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">According to the brothers,</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">‘Anzac Day,
the day which needs no explanation as to its meaning and importance’, was marked
in Cairo by a memorial service organised by Anzac troops and attended by 1500
persons. The emotion of the day was felt by all present. ‘What an awe-inspiring
spectacle it was to witness hardened war-stained warriors and hopeful untested
soldiers alike battling with an unconquerable emotion, which spoke of past
glories of fallen heroes.’ Hymns were sung and the Last Post sounded ‘amid a
death like and saddening stillness. For any soldier who has been in action, or
had a dear comrade die, this call has sepulchral significance.’ </span></blockquote>

tended to them. ‘The cemetery is splendidly looked after and a headstone marks

No more will we enjoy the adventures of the various inhabitants of the <a href="http://libcatalogue.hurstville.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/ENQ/OPAC/BIBENQ?ENTRY_NAME=SE&ENTRY=Discworld&ENTRY_TYPE=K&NRECS=20&SORTS=HBT.SOVR&SEARCH_FORM=%2Fcgi-bin%2Fspydus.exe%2FMSGTRN%2FOPAC%2FBSEARCH&CF=GEN&ISGLB=0&GQ=Discworld" target="_blank">Discworld</a>; the world resting on the backs of four elephants who in turn are supported by Great A'Tuin, the Star Turtle. <br />
<br />
Sir Terry's writing career began in journalism. His first novel, <a href="http://libcatalogue.hurstville.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/ENQ/OPAC/BIBENQ?BRN=226373" target="_blank">The Carpet People</a>, was published in 1971. But success came following the publication of the first Discworld novel - <a href="http://libcatalogue.hurstville.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/ENQ/OPAC/BIBENQ?BRN=271933" target="_blank">The Colour of Magic</a> - in 1983 (Sir Terry later described it as "an attempt to do for the classical fantasy universe what <em>Blazing Saddles </em>did for Westerns"). After the publication of the fourth Discworld novel - Mort - Sir Terry quit his position as a press officer to become a full time writer; the sales of his novels in the UK alone were over 2 million copies. Aside from the Discworld novels he also collaborated with other authors such as <a href="http://libcatalogue.hurstville.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/ENQ/OPAC/BIBENQ/1032953?QRY=CAUBIB%3C%20IRN(287215)&QRYTEXT=Gaiman%2C%20Neil" target="_blank">Neil Gaiman</a> and <a href="http://libcatalogue.hurstville.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/ENQ/OPAC/BIBENQ/1032972?QRY=CAUBIB%3C%20IRN(206129)&QRYTEXT=Baxter%2C%20Stephen" target="_blank">Stephen Baxter</a>. <br />
<br />
Sir Terry was knighted in 2009 for services to literature after having previously been appointed as Officer of the British Empire in 1998, of which he said "'I suspect the "services to literature" consisted of refraining from trying to
write any. Still, I can't help feeling mightily chuffed about it."<br />
In December 2007 he announced that he was suffering from a rare form of Alzheimer's disease. Following the news of his passing last Thursday his daughter Rhianna sent three final tweets from his Twitter account.<br />
<br />
<em>"AT LAST, SIR TERRY, WE MUST WALK TOGETHER.</em><br />
<em>Terry took Death's arm and followed him through the doors and on to the black desert under the endless night.</em><br />
<em>The End."</em><br />

<ul>
<li><span style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: -18pt;">Have clean dry hands when handling your
artefacts</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: -18pt;">Use both hands when handling your items</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: -18pt;">Making copies of your paper documents and
photographs limit the need to handle originals</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: -18pt;">Store your items in a clean, dry and insect free
place. Silver fish love to eat paper!</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: -18pt;">Place the items in archival plastic sheets. Food
storage bags made of polyester, polyethylene or polypropylene are suitable
alternatives.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: -18pt;">Do not store them in direct sunlight or near
heaters or fireplaces, where there are rapid changes of temperature. This can
cause discolouration and staining of items.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol; line-height: 150%; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: -18pt;">Remove rubber bands and metal clips; they can
cause damage to paper as they perish and rust over time.</span></li>

The request went out far and wide for knitters and sewing enthusiasts to create poppies for the display. It wasn't too long before their aim of 5000 poppies double, tripled and quadrupled, with efforts coming in Australia wide and even around the world. There is now an estimated 140,000 poppies collected and that number is still growing!</div>

The Wrapped with Love knitters were excited to contribute to the project and armed with red wool, buttons, knitting needles and patterns started the task of creating as many poppies as they could. The group made a fantastic effort in creating 191 poppies to be sent to join the rest of the poppies in Federation Square, Melbourne.</div>
