Building your dream home See the new Jennian Homes Bay of Plenty showhome for yourself

If you are on the hunt for a new home that is creative, unique, modern and sophisticated, the team at Jennian Homes Bay of Plenty are the people to talk to.

But if you want to see for yourself, visit their new show home on The Boulevard, Papamoa East.

This show home is a modern and sophisticated example of the company’s design skills and building quality, demonstrating co-directors Shane Lye and Matt McKay’s combined ability to come up with homes which are different, innovative, and creative.

Opened at the end of June, this stunning four bedroom, 216sqm show home is a contemporary home featuring two different claddings. The first is an austral brick from NZ Brick Distributors Settlers Collection, providing warmth and beauty with natural colours and a rough texture finish. The bricks are offset with features of James Hardie’s Linea Oblique Weatherboard cladding.

As well as demonstrating Jennian Homes Bay of Plenty’s design and build skills, their new show home also showcases the latest products available from the

company’s suppliers.

Its location in Palm Springs is a very attractive area for buyers and prospective residents with its large sections, wide streets and off -street parking in close proximity to the good things in life - the beach, shops and desirable schools.

The team at Jennian Homes Bay of Plenty know how to keep things balanced.

On the business side, Shane mainly handles the construction aspect of the business while Matt’s passion is for design. Both are qualified and licensed builders with a combined industry experience of more than 30 years.

The duo have owned Jennian Homes B.O.P Ltd for nearly six years and were drawn to the group not only for the design and build service but also as a means to compliment their existing business, GenX B.O.P. Ltd, specialising in renovations, reclads, bathroom make-overs and decorative fencing.

Owning both businesses has enabled the Jennian/GenX team to provide their clients with the total building package whether it be a new build or renovation, all whilst adhering to budget constraints.

During the past six years, Jennian Homes Bay of Plenty has also built many architectural homes which they have entered into the Registered Master Builder’s House of the Year Awards and earning them several Gold and Silver medals.

“We design plans from scratch to suit each of our clients,” says Shane. “A client can bring us a plan and we will tweak it to suit them, their section, their lifestyle, and their needs or we can take a simple freehand sketch and turn it into something amazing.

“We have an abundance of ideas when it comes to special features both inside and out which have contributed to the quality and style of our homes and subsequent building awards”.

FREE $10,000 PACKAGE

“Not only is Jennian a 100 percent New Zealand-owned company, but all our clients receive the 10-year Master Build guarantee as well as the Jennian NZ national pledge of completion,” says Shane.

“Jennian Homes is also a company that has never not finished a build. When you build with Jennian, you are guaranteed that your build will be completed.”

Danielle Meier, wonder woman Danielle Meier has been regularly running the 21 km trail from Te Puke Quarry Road to TECT Park.

“I absolutely love it,” says Danielle, who was unable to run at all from birth until the age of 21.

Growing up with extremely painful compartment syndrome in both legs, the pressure that built within her muscles meant that there was decreased blood flow, preventing oxygen from reaching nerve and muscle cells.

“It took two surgeries to get it sorted,” she says.

“Three weeks after the last surgery in February I went out for the first time in my life and tried to do some running, even though I was unfit. I just kept on running every day as much as I could.

“Running has been such a help for my mental health. I run every day and try to get out twice a week for a 10-20 km bush run.”

She’s now planning to compete in the Auckland Marathon in October to raise funds for the Mental Health Foundation.

“I chose to campaign for mental health as it is very personal to me,” she explains. “My mum has depression and complex PTSD, which I watched her struggle with as I grew up.

“My father had a brain tumour and resulting mental health problems. My grandmother has dementia and my brother struggled with major depression his whole life. He eventually turned to

drugs and is now in prison.”

Danielle felt that the common thread was the lack of help and support available.

“Especially for the men of our country,” she adds.

It was after suffering head injuries herself that she realised how much easier it was for her to get help compared to her brother.

“I had a motorcycle accident about four years ago,” says Danielle. “I flew over the car and landed on my head. Six months later I got kicked in the head by a racehorse, and then I was in a car accident and the air bag failed to work so my head went straight into the steering wheel.

“The head injury, combined with depression I had had since a young age, contributed to my own mental health problems.”

She was also recently diagnosed as bipolar.

“I’m quite in touch with my mental health,” she says. “I don’t feel embarrassed about it and I have an amazing, supportive group of friends.

“When I told them I’d been diagnosed they were so great, saying ‘now we’ll know when you spiral down that it’s bipolar, and not panic but help you get through it’.

“I think our country needs a good conversation about mental health to bring about productive change. My brother cried out for help for over 20 years with nothing being done.”

Danielle is hoping to raise $1500 for the Mental Health Foundation of NZ by competing in the ASB Auckland Marathon on October 28. Rosalie Liddle Crawford

Tauranga Heritage Walk Strolling through our past The Tauranga Heritage Walk, an approximate 3km stroll, takes in many of the more important historical features of the city, including the Elms Mission Station.

Lynda Walter and Karen Greig from InSitu Heritage

at the Monmouth Redoubt

Set up in 2012, the some two dozen information panels along the trail were each coloured and marked by the ‘i’ symbol. A purple plinth on The Strand states ‘If you were standing at this spot 150 years ago you would have sand between your toes and water lapping around your ankles.’

Maori knew this general area between the two headlands as Okahukura. European arrivals referred to it simply as ‘the beach’. Behind the tide there was a series of sea cliffs and areas of low swampy land.

In the 1870s the waterfront area was expanding rapidly but nature was too close for comfort. Water would flow into seaside shops with every easterly gale and the place had an uncivilised, rough edge that the town authorities were keen to rectify. The sea cliffs were cut down and the fill used to build up the foreshore behind a wooden breast work.

About 1902 the Edward VII Esplanade was built and the wooden wall was replaced by concrete. This too was relegated to history in 1922-1923 when more reclamation was needed to allow the railway lines to run to the waterfront. At the purple plinth, you are now standing above the old 1902 sea wall.

The walk, which was set up in 2012, begins at the i-Site on Willow Street in Tauranga’s CBD. Heading northwards on Willow Street, the first heritage site

is the Old Post Office with its classical Edwardian architecture. Opposite at Aspen Park, a venerable 40m-high aspen tree, actually a cottonwood poplar planted in 1864, used to grow there. It is now gone.

Turning down McLean Street, the walk continues on to the Te Awanui Waka carved by Tuti Tukaokao in 1973.

Opposite is No 1 The Strand, the original Bonded Store built in 1883 that now serves as newspaper office for Sun Media by day and a function venue in the evenings.

A short, steep path leads up into the Monmouth Redoubt, a military stronghold in the unrest of the 1860s. From here, it was possible for soldiers to see to Gate Pa and along to the Durham redoubt. The redoubt was established on top of the Taumatakahawai Pa site.

The Monmouth Redoubt Historic Reserve has been the focus of a conservation planning workshop held with local stakeholders. Facilitated by Lynda Walter and Karen Greig from InSitu Heritage, the consultation has included surrounding residents, Police, Kiwirail, The Elms, Tauranga Historic Society, Heritage NZ, and Tauranga City Council staff.

The purpose of the meeting was to discuss any issues surrounding the cultural and historical significance of the reserve, which extends from the walkway opposite the offices of Sun Media at No 1 The Strand to the toilet block next to the Tropical House, an area of about 5000sqm. It has the railway line, Cliff Road and Robbins Park on its boundaries.

A drop-in session was also held at the BOP Vintage

A purple plinth on The Strand states ‘If you were standing at this spot 150 years ago you would have sand between your toes and water lapping around your ankles’

Car Club Hall on Cliff Road so that people who visit the redoubt could express any issues or concerns.

Tauranga City Council commissioned the consultants to help prepare a conservation plan for the reserve, which will guide how council manages and develops this unique heritage place, including trees, vegetation, ditches, banks and retaining walls.

It will also take into account how people use and access the site.

“We’re also keen to hear about any stories or connections people may have to the site,” says Tauranga City Council parks asset coordinator Christine Wildhaber.

Next door to the Monmouth Redoubt Historic Reserve is the tropical plant display house, which is exceptional, as are the rose gardens of Robbins Park.

The short walk along Cliff Road brings you to Mission Street and the jewel in the crown of this Heritage Walk, The Elms Mission Station.

Here you can follow the story of early life in Tauranga and get an insight into a home that was occupied by the same family for more than 150 years. The peaceful gardens is an excellent venue for a picnic.

Cross the Marsh Street bridge over the railway and you’ll find your way to the Mission Cemetery. There are several alternative paths in this area but make certain that you continue down to the Anchor Stone.

Here, there are carved posts located at the end of Dive Crescent, below the harbour bridge flyover.

Each carved pou represents one of the navigators who sailed waka to Aotearoa from Polynesia around

1350AD. Local carvers paid tribute to the knowledge and skill required to bring people here on those long voyages through rough seas to a new land and new beginnings. The toka, or anchor stone represents ‘safe anchorage’ in Tauranga.

In the space where the roundabout at the bottom of the old bridge used to be now lies a courtyard symbolising the history of Tauranga.

Follow the railway along Dive Crescent to start your return to the CBD. This takes you past the Cargo Shed to Fisherman’s Wharf, across the railway line and into The Strand, where there are more pou, Herries Arch, and information plinths to read.

°˙August, September September, ˜˛°ˆ life+style The Weekend Sun ˜°14 ˜˛°˝ , 2018 Kathryn Overall

Newcomers and Homecomers Kathryn Overall is the friendly face on the Wish You Were Working Here website. Developed by Priority One, the site is a strategic tool for linking the local business network with people relocating into the Bay of Plenty. Kathryn writes the stories of those Kiwi expats, immigrants, Aucklanders, and other Kiwis who have already moved into the region.

Those who read Kathryn’s stories are serious about moving to Tauranga, and are looking for work can then contact Annie Hill from Priority One. Annie facilitates matches between the local companies and professional people looking for work.

“The Wish You Were Working Here website has a real human interest element with real people stories that we’re telling,” says Kathryn. “It creates the interest that translates into people finding jobs and making connections.”

Kathryn took on the storytelling role in 2012.

“I launched the Facebook page, began the newsletter, and started finding and telling the stories on the online platforms. I’ve watched it grow and really connect with people. It’s been very successful over the past five years, and has developed quite a lot of momentum over that time.

“It’s a warm story-telling campaign and as a result

of connecting with the stories, a lot of job seekers have also connected with Annie.

“She’s helped them make meaningful connections, placing people into local businesses and jobs.”

Kathryn makes it clear that Priority One isn’t a recruitment agency, but is the economic development agency for the region.

“The whole emphasis of the campaign is to make sure that the city has the talent and the skilled professionals that it needs to grow and thrive.”

Some of the stories are sea-change stories, about people who didn’t grow up in Tauranga, but have moved here because they want to start a family, have a better work-life balance, or want to live by the beach.

The other stories are homecoming ones, about people who came from here, and are returning to a city that’s very different from the one they left.

“Homecoming is not always easy. People who grew up here expect they will slot right back in, but actually the city’s quite different. It’s changed and they’ve changed. Homecomers need just as much welcoming and knitting back in to our community as newcomers do.

“I was a homecomer myself ten years ago, and I remember how much it meant to me when people invited me over for a meal or to a social event. It might not have seemed a lot to them, but it meant a lot to me. So I try and extend that to the newcomers and homecomers that I encounter.”

Finding your tribe Melissa Osgood

“I moved here for a more laid-back lifestyle,” says Melissa. “I connected right away with Anton Steel from BOP Film, who I found through the Wish You Were Working Here programme.”

Melissa has worked in ÿ lm and television as an independent director, producer, and writer. She has produced a number of short ÿ lms, including ones that won best screenplay in the 50 Kisses Film Awards and the national award for Best Use of Character in the 2012 48 Hour Film Festival.

“One of the biggest things about moving to Tauranga was you really have to put yourself out there. You have to ÿ nd your people and you have to network.” ° at’s just what Melissa has done, and it seems to be paying o˛ because she’s ÿ nding herself to be busy, and getting plenty of work. “° ere’s a lot going on here in Tauranga. ° e ÿ lm industry down here is really growing.”

For many years Melissa worked on popular New Zealand television series, including children’s television ‘Bryan & Bobby’, Sticky TV, ‘K˝ TV’ for Maori Television, and ‘Attitude TV’ on ONE. Working on children’s programming at Sticky TV, and on documentaries about people who live with disabilities for Attitude TV has been part of a natural progression to her current role. Melissa is the National Communications Advisor for CCS Disability Action, a

nationwide organisation providing support, advocacy, and information for people living with disability.

“We also manage the mobility parking scheme.

“We have designed an app called Access Aware, that helps people report disability parking abuse, and have done a promo ÿ lm about it.”

Her other work is producing and directing, and she is in pre-production on a privately funded feature documentary, as well as a ten-episode television series.

She’s also highly active in the local theatre community and spends any free time painting large scale acrylic on canvas.

“You have to network and not be afraid to do that – say hello to people and engage.”

She initially went to various groups to ÿ nd ‘her thing’ and people to connect with. Some groups she found through Meetup.

“You don’t have to like everyone, and you may not connect. If you don’t just move on. It’s about trying to ÿ nd your ‘tribe’ which for me is the theatre and ÿ lm.

“I met with Kathryn at ‘Wish You Were Working Here’. She really listened to me and connected me with so many people. She’s an amazing resource.”

Papamoa Patchers Every Monday, the Papamoa Patchers meet at Arataki Community Centre for a morning of patchworking, quilting, sewing and embroidery.

On Saturday, September 15, this enthusiastic group will celebrate their craft with an open day at Mount Maunganui Bridge Club.

“Our plan is for the celebration to be exciting, accessible and fun,” says club member Gilda Rowland. “We will have working exhibits all day, showcasing the various aspects of patchwork and quilting such as applique, machine piecing, machine quilting, hand quilting and candlewicking.

“We hope to demonstrate that this is a wonderful hobby which is do-able by people with all sorts of sewing abilities. Yes, there will be some beautiful creations on display, but also quirky projects like bags, Christmas decorations, tablemats and cushions.

“We will also have a display from Phoenix Friends, which is a small embroidery group who make exquisite embroidered and embellished creations.”

Mary-Rose Russell, president of Papamoa Patchers, says the club has been running for more than ten years and has around 70 members. “It’s a wonderfully congenial, friendly and caring kind of club,” says Mary-Rose.

Dawn Ryder, age 91, is a foundation member.

“I live in Otumoetai and drive myself over,” says Dawn. “I’ve been coming every week, except occasionally when I’ve been sick.

“I enjoy being a part of it because I live in a fairly lonely area. I enjoy the company.

“There are some very clever people who come, and I enjoy seeing what they do.”

“The Celebration of Patchwork and Quilting will showcase the wonderful creativity that’s in the club,” says Mary-Rose.

“We want people to see that these crafts we’ve inherited from people that have come before us are not something that’s died, but have relevance today.”

Anne Brown has turned tee-shirts into a quilt, creating a loving memory of her husband.

“He died about three years ago,” says Anne.

“As well as the tee-shirts, I added a couple of other things too, to reflect his interests.”

Debbie Wolff ’s daughter was married in April in Christchurch, and asked her mum to make 16 lap quilts for people sitting outdoors at the wedding.

Given away during the reception, they proved to be so popular that she has now completed five more to send to her daughter’s friends.

The Celebration of Patchwork and Quilting open day on Saturday, September 15, will run from 10am to 4pm with no admission charge.

Barry Lloyd Vercoe Composer, professor and scientist It’s hard to imagine meeting worldrenowned composers like Beethoven, Mozart and Stravinsky, yet this month, surprisingly to me, it seems I have.

Right in our midst, living in Tauranga, is awardwinning composer Barry Lloyd Vercoe. Composer, conductor and research scientist, Barry is also a founding professor at the MIT Media Lab in Boston, Massachusetts.

Born and educated in New Zealand, he holds a doctorate in music composition from the University of Michigan, and has taught at Oberlin Conservatory and the Yale School of Music.

In 1969 he was composer-in-residence in the Seattle School System and principal conductor for the US Music Educators National Conference, conducting in the Seattle Opera House.

Of immense interest, on October 7, Barry will be conducting the world premiere of a piece he composed at the age of 20, back in June 1958, when he was sitting in his Auckland University dorm room.

The composition, A Program Suite for Oboe, Clarinet and Bassoon, won the University of Otago Philip Neill Memorial Prize in Music in 1959, but this will be its first ever public performance.

The work depicts five events – each part of an evening’s programmed entertainment.

“At high school I had been top in maths,” says Barry, “but I was also playing jazz and dance music on alto saxophone with my dad at Hamilton’s

Starlight Ballroom.

“Later, while studying music at Auckland Uni, I wrote this trio for the oboe, clarinet and bassoon.

“One of my friends played clarinet in the NZ Symphony Orchestra and another became first bassoon in the NZSO. I was writing for friends, as it were.”

The trio has five sections.

“There’s The Arrival March, when the guests assemble,” he says, “then Opening Address, from a solo bassoon.”

Barry explains it as ‘bassoon gymnastics’, where the bassoon offers three ideas, each exploring a different register of the instrument. The three ideas are then merged into a fast-moving patter.

“Then there’s Item, where the clarinet and oboe perform a duet,” he says. “This is actually a musical canon, with the oboe following the clarinet at the same pitch and just two beats behind.

“I wrote the canon in about ten minutes in my dorm room at Auckland Uni. So far that’s my favourite piece.”

Following the duet is Waltz, where all three instruments combine to make a lilting band.

The fifth and final section of his composition is Foxtrot, written as variations on a 12-bar blues chord progression.

“The secret to hearing this is to follow the chord sequence,” explains Barry. “In the first variation the clarinet does a jazzy thing. The last variation, an oboe solo, is a melodic quote from Paul Desmond, alto saxophone player in the Dave Brubeck quartet.”

“It’s not at all surprising that a scientist can also be a musician and composer, as music is itself highly structured”

It’s not at all surprising that a scientist can also be a musician and composer, as music is itself highly structured.

Barry Vercoe joined the faculty at MIT in 1971 and established its Experimental Music facility two years later.

He initiated research into score-following software at IRCAM in Paris in 1983, and the following year was a founding member of the MIT Media Lab, where he pioneered the creation of synthetic music with the development of the Csound softwaresynthesis language.

Until his retirement, Vercoe was the head of the Media Lab’s Music, Mind and Machine group, which developed technology later incorporated into MPEG-4, the world’s first international standard for sound synthesis.

Over the last 20 years at MIT, he has supervised over 25 PhD students with theses on scientific topics.

“I went to the USA in 1962,” says Barry.

“By 1971 I had become a professor at MIT. I then stayed there for 40 years. If you’re going to end up in a rut, just make sure it’s a good one.”

He returned to Tauranga to spend time with an aunt who had helped raise him as a child.

“I came back to Tauranga when she was 98,” he says. “She died about a year ago, aged 101.”

Sixty years after composing his trio, he’s decided to finally stage its world premiere, in the country where it was composed.

The eclectic group of 13 performers comprise musicians from Auckland and Tauranga, playing

clarinet, oboe, bassoon, flute, trumpet, horn, trombone and contrabassoon. They include David Adlam, a long-time principal clarinet with the Auckland Philharmonia, Felicity Hanlon on oboe and Gordon Skinner on bassoon, who for many years played principal bassoon with the NZSO. “My piece is for three performers,” says Barry.

“The other pieces, such as the two octets, are for different combinations of the woodwind and brass instruments.

“For example, Stravinksy’s music is angular and disruptive, and he threw out the horns that Beethoven had used, instead adding in trumpets and trombones.”

The Music for Wind Instruments concert is supported by Tauranga Sunrise Rotary, Holland Beckett Law, Legacy Funerals, Pureprint and TECT, and also features works by Stravinsky, Rossini and a 22-year-old Beethoven.

The concert is part of the Tauranga Musica 2018 series and will be held in the Graham Young Youth Theatre at Tauranga Boys’ College on Sunday, October 7, at 4pm. Tickets can be obtained via the Tauranga Musica website www.tgamusica.co.nz Rosalie Liddle Crawford
