Tantalising the design senses A treasure trove of colour What fills the home should be what captivates the heart of the owner, and a home should reflect the personality and style of those who live in it.

Whether your style is sleek and sophisticated, or you’re fond of a splash of colour, John Darke Interiors in Judea has anything and everything you could want.

Colour fills the studio, glass chandeliers hang over gorgeous plush couches dotted with cushions, beautiful curtain samples cover the walls, and accessories fill crevices and adorn tables.

From wallpaper, furniture, advice and more, John Darke Interiors is where people come for design inspiration.

“What we offer people is our experience and expert knowledge. We can help them with whatever they need, whether it’s colour or design advice, drapes, cushions, wallpaper, anything. Basically from concept to execution,” says the man himself, John Darke.

“We can also help clients that maybe have chosen a few colours or maybe have a plan already and they want us to look over it before they take it to council.

Perhaps we move an odd wall or we see something that could work better.

“Sometimes we’ll redesign a room, such as a kitchen or lounge. Clients may have an idea of what they want but functionally it needs expert advice to make it work.”

The team of three designers - John Darke, Janine Fox-Mason and Tania Young- work together seamlessly, offering different perspectives on client jobs. “We are a team and work as one. We do have our individual clients but sometimes we might cross over in projects to get a different opinion or a fresh set of eyes. That’s a real advantage for clients,” says John.

And if you struggle to visualise how the furniture will look in your home, John Darke Interiors has taken the guesswork out of it for you, sourcing quality furniture from New Zealand and fabrics from all over the world.

With a number of different settings for every area in your home, customers can wander around the studio and dream up their ideal bedroom, lounge suite and more, all from the comfort of a store that feels just like home. John Darke Interiors is a creative haven.

“In winter we have a fire crackling, music playing in the shop, a great coffee machine, and sometimes

we have John and Keryn’s dog Henry come to visit, so we want to create that homely feeling but with lots of different options. Our aim is to tantalise the design senses,” says Tania.

“Sometimes there’s so much going on that we have projects on the floor, but we find that people love that because they can fossick around to find exactly what they are after.” says John.

And John Darke Interiors can customise pieces to make sure you are getting exactly what you want.

“For us it’s about each person’s home, so we do a lot of bespoke pieces. It’s really about your home, it has to reflect your personality and your space, so we work that in,” says Tania.

So whether you’re starting from scratch to design your home, or you want to revamp the house you’re already comfortable in, see John Darke Interiors for a burst of colour, some expert advice, and a surprise around every corner. After all, they are anything but ordinary.

On the Couch Purple, beer, bugs and gardens A brewtastic inventor.

A free-flowing artist. A bug man.

And a plant-breeding geneticist with a passion for garden design.

Somehow, amazingly, Michele A’Court will weave these famous four together into a two-hour ‘On the Couch’ delight to entertain Tauranga’s garden, art and craft beer enthusiasts.

Assisted by fellow Kiwi comedian Ben Hurley, Michele will host the new live talk show at Baycourt on August 25. It’s the first of many events leading up to the November 2018 BOP Garden and Art Festival.

Michele was once in a debate with Ruud ‘The Bug Man’ Kleinpaste, the David Attenborough of the bug world, who is into what bugs can do for the soil and plants. The other three ‘On the Couch’ guests are all new to her.

“It’s quite exciting to interview people you haven’t met before,” says Michele, “because then you’re getting to know them along with your audience.”

There’s also Tauranga’s award-winning landscape designer Michelle McDonnell, beer and cider judge and world class master brewer Brian Watson, and Tauranga artist, Rob McGregor.

Michele admits to not being much of a gardener herself.

“I don’t have much time for gardening because I travel so much,” says Michele. “I grow pots of herbs. And I just adore gazanias. There’s something about them that reminds me of my

childhood. They’re just great big stupid daisies with bright colours. I always love the purple and yellow ones the most.’”

Co-host Ben Hurley has been a friend of Michele’s since the 1990s.

They met through comedy and now will bring their banter and humour to the stage in Tauranga.

They both have strong connections here as Ben married a Katikati girl and Michele has family living in Te Puna.

Michele is currently writing a book called ‘How We Met’, featuring couples talking about how they met.

“My transcription service, which is out of America, has terrible trouble with the Kiwi accent so there are some delightful mistakes in the transcriptions when I get them back. The one I was working on yesterday, the woman was telling me how her husband made a beautiful degustation for her birthday and the transcript says ‘he made me a digger station’.”

“We have a really human need to find meaning in things. The best way to find meaning in the chaos is to construct stories out of it. I’ve just had an email back from one of the couples and she’s saying ‘you made our story make sense’.

“They can see what their story is about because someone came along and listened to them and wove it into a story.”

The best place to come see Michele find meaning and weave her guests’ stories about garden, craft beer and art is ‘On the Couch’.

A brilliant start to the BOP Garden and Art Festival 2018.

Turkish Delight Rugby sevens heaven Cumhur (Jimmy) Akbaba’s shisha pipes decorate the counter above his desk.

A Turkish water pipe, also called nargile in Turkey, the pipes allow people to smoke flavoured tobacco as it bubbles through water.

Jimmy and Lania Akbaba

Boutique

Watermelon, grape, blueberry and liquorice are just some of the variety of flavours available. Above the pipes are jerseys from visiting Sevens Rugby teams, signed by the players of Japan, Canterbury, Samoa, Chiefs, Auckland Blues and the Highlanders.

“They’ve all been here,” says Jimmy, co-owner or Turkish Delight at Mount Maunganui with his New Zealand-born Cook Island wife Lania.

It all started when Christian Cullen, Tana Umaga and Jonah Lomu kept coming in to Jimmy’s Wellington restaurant.

“That’s how I started following rugby. When I first saw the game I thought it was so strange. People running into each other.”

On opening his restaurant at the Mount, Gordon Tietjens brought his sevens team in.

“I keep them healthy. They train at the Mount.

“They eat here.”

The Samoans perform hakas in his carpark, and often he’s swamped by team members taking group photos for social media. When the NZ Sevens won the World Cup, they brought it in to show Jimmy.

He learned Japanese and chats fluently with the Japanese players that come over to train with the

BOP Steamers.

The players sit down to a choice of kumara and courgette with feta fritters, falafel, spinakopita slice, chicken with spinach and feta lasagne, dolma, moussaka, turkish delight, and apple tea, along with the standard doner kebabs, iskender kebabs, salads and grill kebabs.

Dinner can be polished off with carrot cake, mixed berry and white chocolate cheesecake or chocolate mud cake each served with cream or yoghurt.

All the food is prepared fresh on site.

Lania invented their famous Mediterranean stuffed kumara.

“She is so very creative,” says Jimmy. “Before kumara she tried a lot of different things, but people like the kumara.”

She’s also developed her own secret recipe for moussaka, as egg plants are difficult to come by during the year.

Jimmy’s been living in NZ for 27 years. He is the youngest of four brothers, his oldest brother runs the Nelson restaurant. Every two or three months Jimmy goes to visit him. The other two are doctors in Turkey.

“In early 1998 there was war in Kuwait. I decided to come to NZ and it became my new home.”

On arriving in Wellington, he eventually found work doing dishes after going to a Turkish cafe for coffee one day. He worked there two years, learning food preparation and cooking, and then moved to Nelson opening up three of his own Turkish restaurants in Nelson and Wellington.

Eleven years ago he made Tauranga his home.

“When I first came to NZ, not many Kiwis were trying Turkish food, but New Zealanders are very openminded people”

Jimmy and Lania have been together 13 years, meeting in a restaurant on The Strand. Both chefs, they decided to open their own restaurant.

“When I first came to NZ, not many Kiwis were trying Turkish food, but New Zealanders are very open-minded people.”

For a month of the year around June, Turkish Delight closes up shop for three weeks and Jimmy sends all his staff on holiday. He and Lania catch up with family in Jimmy’s home town Bodrum, which is on the West Coast opposite the Greek Islands.

It has a similar climate to Tauranga and booms to four million people over summer.

Three years ago during a rain storm the restaurant was flooded out and he had to wait three months until it dried out. He thought he might lose his regular customers but from the first day opening again everyone was back. Including the rugby sevens teams.

Lania’s stuffed Kumara recipe is a bit of a secret but there are many delicious ways to dress up the humble kumera or potato.

Get creative like Lania.

Caramelized Onion: Cook one large, thinly-sliced onion in a pan with two tablespoons olive oil and ¼ teaspoon salt until caramelized, approx.

30 minutes. Spoon onto baked potatoes. Top with sour cream.

Cheddar-Chive: Scoop the flesh out of four baked potatoes; mash with ¼ cup each butter, sour cream and chopped chives, and 2/3 cup grated cheddar. Stuff into the skins; top with more cheese and grill to melt.

Roasted Vege: Toss two each diced carrots and parsnips, one diced butternut squash and four quartered shallots with olive oil. Roast 20 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Serve on buttered baked sweet potatoes.

Chicken a la King: Cook one tablespoon each butter and flour in a pan, stirring for two minutes. Whisk in 1 ½ cups milk and simmer until thick.

Add one cup shredded rotisserie chicken, ½ cup sauteed mushrooms and a dash of sherry. Spoon onto baked potatoes.

Toasted Marshmallow: Top baked sweet potatoes with butter, mini marshmallows and cinnamon sugar. Grill until golden.

Bernie Allen

Bernie Allen Smooth operator I nearly got Bernie Allen arrested.

During May 2017 we’d completely filled the Cargo Shed in Dive Crescent, Tauranga with thousands of dollars’ worth of furniture ready to send through to the Edgecumbe flood victims.

Bernie was there every day, Tuesday to Saturday, volunteering his time to help unload people’s cars and trailers and running things. As the Cargo Shed was going to be closed until the Monday I phoned the police to ask if they could keep an eye on it on their way past. I didn’t bother Bernie with that small, but important fact. The police phoned early Sunday morning. Someone was breaking in. It was Bernie, on his day off, going in to take away rubbish.

So typical of him really. He’s a Bethlehem Te Puna Lion. “We serve” is the Lions creed.

During the final week of the Rise Up Tauranga collection, Bernie was scheduled to go in to Grace Hospital for a shoulder operation. He rang me a couple of hours after the op, so I popped over to see him, took him some chocolate and a motorcycle magazine. I suspected he was still under the influence of anaesthesia, so this could be a rare opportunity to actually get him talking about himself for a change.

I asked him about the Lions Market at the Tauranga Historic Village in 17th Ave. It happens on the first and third Sunday of each month.

“I go down about 4.30am,” says Bernie. “There’s rubbish bins to go out. And power cables to be pulled under the road. And some of the stall holders are queued up at quarter past five.”

I guess it’s not surprising he’s an early riser.

There are about 60 stalls at the market and it’s the Bethlehem Te Puna Lions main regular fundraiser from which they distribute funds to help the community. During April they sent money to Edgecumbe.

Bernie grew up on a dairy farm.

‘When I was 13 my old man sent me to boarding school in New Plymouth,” he says. “I think I was strapped about 90 times in the first year because I played up. I wasn’t interested. Was caught smoking and sneaking out of the dormitories at night.

“The joker next to me was always telling on everybody and we thought ‘we’ll fix you mate’. It was all quiet about one o’clock in the morning, so we went to the freezer, got a bag of ice, put it in a bucket, pulled his arm out of bed and pushed it into the bucket. He peed the bed. Tipped the rest of the

ice over him, said ‘take that you plonker.’ We got thrashed for that.”

He went and worked on the family farm. Got paid three pounds five shillings a week wages, equivalent to about $7 a week. It was quiet on the farm during winter so he’d work at the saw mill.

On leaving the farm at about 18 years old he went long-haul truck driving and then joined the railway, completing a fireman’s ticket in steam.

He spent about 10 years on the railway in Tamaruanui, Taihape and Stratford.

The surgeon calls by in the middle of our interview.

“All right? Not sore?”

“Nup,” says Bernie. “A little bit of pain here but bugger all.”

“I’ve actually repaired the rotator cuff,” says the surgeon. “Repaired the tendon. A tendon had pulled off.”

Bernie’s not allowed to use the arm for about six weeks. He continues talking about his early work life.

“I chucked in the railways and bought a milk run in Taumaranui.”

He was married to Barbara by this time.

“We’d do a run out to Oio. Would go about half past four in the morning, do the milk run, get back about half past nine.”

He did that on and off for about 10 years, sold the milk run, moved to Tauranga and bought a bread run covering Tauriko, Greerton, 11th Ave and out to Omokoroa.

A nurse comes around to check on his pills.

Mostly pain relief.

“I had a bit of pain at the Cargo Shed but just managed it.”

“When you’re in here we like to know what pain relief you’re on,” says the nurse.

He did the bread run seven days a week, day and night, selling it after 10 years. He followed that up with eight marathons, covering about 100km a week.

“I was told to give that away because your hips won’t last. So then I bought a filtering business.

Filtering the fat in the fish and chips shops. Suck the fat out, filter it and put it back.”

Start early, finish by lunch time. He had signs printed for the door and back of the ute with “I’m a fat sucker.”

After that a paper run.

“We did 13 stops in two hours. Bulk drops, 4000 newspapers. Arataki, Papamoa, the Mount and Te Puke.

Followed by driving for a concrete business delivering pipes, then ‘working for a joker doing landscape design work.’

The nurse is back to check on how much water he’s drinking.

“I don’t drink too much water, fish make love in it,” he says. “That’s alright, we’re just keeping an eye on what’s going in.”

After the landscaping work, he became the caretaker for Sanctuary Point for a couple of years.

Then went painting. And more driving.

I met Bernie at a Bethlehem Te Puna Lions meeting in 2011. Usually laconic, quietly serving others, mostly efficient and unseen, behind the scenes.

An early riser. A couple of weeks later I walked through the Historic Village with him, Village Radio pumping out ‘Smooth Operator’.

So true.

The Station Deconstructing traditional radio Radio the way you know it is going to change here in the Bay of Plenty.

And it’s all at the hand of one man – Grant Hislop.

The music industry legend is launching a new radio station – The Station 105.4 FM – and with it says he will completely deconstruct the traditional radio format.

“Like every other business, radio has to evolve,” says Grant. “I’ve started with the listener in mind and worked backwards.

The formula includes less invasive commercial content, better variety and a deeper catalogue of music, fewer announcer interruptions and an alternative source of information. The biggest difference, however, will be the mix of genres and eras.”

No longer will listeners have to choose

whether they’re in the mood for rock, classic, pop or other. The Station will stretch its radiowave arms and encompass a broad range of eras and genres. Now on your morning commute you can listen to recognisable hits, golden oldies and discover new music all in one place.

The Station is set to broadcast out of Grant’s pop culture and vinyl store Vinyl Destination, which is in the heart of the Tauranga CBD. The record store – recently acquired by Grant’s conscious media company Monarch Media – will enable music lovers to shop and browse the extensive vinyl collections and witness live radio taking place, all the while enjoying the coffee and food for which Vinyl Destination is already famous.

“When I first visited Vinyl Destination, it was apparent that something special was happening. It’s a treasure trove for real music lovers,” says Grant.

“Broadcasting The Station from the shop provides a physical presence – something not often possible in radio – along with a chance for listeners to connect both with us and each other.”

Grant has an expansive history in music in radio – from founding The Rock, Coastline FM and Kiwi FM, as well as being co-founder of Radioworks.

He also at various times programmed ZM, Hauraki and Channel Z, along with forging

in the Bay of Plenty and Grant is keen to partner with like-minded businesses to progress ideas in this space.

But at the end of the day, when all is said and done, The Station is all about providing a great local listening experience.

“Currently there is no local radio company and we’re about to change that in a big way. The Western Bay of Plenty will have a voice in the media,” says Grant.

The Station will broadcast throughout the Bay of Plenty on 105.4FM from Saturday, August 5.

a prolific career in artist development.

Grant has developed and managed high-profile NZ music icons such as Pluto, Goodshirt and Opshop, among others. However, as successful and high profile as his previous ventures have been, this time he’s doing things differently.

During the past two years Grant has been on a journey of self-discovery and his new business venture is driven by a community-minded vision and a desire to make a difference – all the while delivering a great music experience.

Grant’s company Monarch Media will incorporate a retail store, a radio station, online video streaming and more.

The record store and radio station are just part of the plans for a media and music company Grant hopes will provide a launching pad for up-and-coming New Zealand artists.

The Station will be a big supporter of locallycreated music – Grant has committed to 30 per cent New Zealand music content, including a commitment to develop and programme local Bay of Plenty artists.

Complete artist development services are part of Monarch Media, along with plans for magazine and television extensions.

With community and causes at the heart of Monarch’s vision – and a belief that media platforms should be used to further such messages and education – a number of initiatives will be supported.

Precious airtime will be used to champion issues such as reducing the use of plastic bags

Skinergenics Balanced goodness every day “I wanted a skincare range that was balanced, organic and natural”

What do you look for in skincare products? One of my first considerations is the origin of the ingredients.

Are they organic? Is the product of high quality? How much does it cost?

Will it blow my budget? Teetering between quality and price, I’m also trying to figure out if it’s natural, if it includes sun protection and what it actually means to be organic.

Carissa Hawes knows all about the questions skincare consumers have - she had them too. That’s what led her to create Skinergenics, her new range of skincare. Carissa went down

the path of gaining BioGro Certified Organic status to let consumers know Skinergenics was a brand they could trust.

Certified organic means each ingredient is tracked back to its origin.

The BioGro logo guarantees that a product is made without animal testing, genetic modification and the routine use of synthetic pesticides. It is the mark of a genuine organic product.

Skin, our body’s largest organ, has a surface area of 1.5-2 square metres.

It interfaces with our environment, playing an important balancing role in protecting our body and regulating our temperature.

Balance is also at the heart of Carissa’s thinking. Balancing life and family, she wanted to ensure the products she uses on her own skin and the skin of her children contained ingredients that are essentially good.

“When I first looked at creating an organic, natural skincare range,” says Carissa, “it had nothing to do with trends in wellness or green cosmeceuticals.”

She was pregnant with her fourth child in 2013, and conscious that she needed to be on the lookout for healthy options for her family.

“I was struggling to find balance.

My husband and I wanted to choose natural and organic yet we soon realised it wasn’t always that easy to do.”

“At the time, mainstream retailers stocked some organic product but the price point was way above our expectations. The only alternative was to drive around town going to specialist retailers – not always reasonable with four children in tow!”

She created ‘Skinergenics by Carissa Hawes’, with seven products in its range. All except the SPF15 cream are more than 90 per cent certified organic.

The range consists of an Essential Cream Cleanser, Revitalising Day Cream, Revitalising Day Cream with SPF15, Replenishing Night Cream, Anti-Aging Oil, Renewing Eye Cream and Hydrating Mist Spray.

“I wanted a skincare range that was balanced, organic and natural. Gentle enough to use on even the most sensitive skin, like that of my children.

“Skinergenics is about getting the basics right. It’s about balancing the need for goodness – organic and natural, with ease and accessibility.”

Warm, green and serene The art of Thai Touch It’s hard to feel at your best if there’s a knot forming in your back, or your shoulders are tensing up.

Owner Orasa Banks, therapists Khanittha Wareekhun and Orathai Tangsong, and receptionist Nina Arampong.

Yet becoming your best self is easily within reach when you can relax both your mind and body. Allowing yourself to fully relax helps your tissues rejuvenate. It paves the way for a healthy, fit and strong body. And it clears your thinking and leaves you alert. And, since I’d been struggling to fully relax for a while, I thought it was maybe time to try something new. I would book in at Mount Maunganui’s Thai Touch for a Thai massage.

“Be your best self.” It’s the mantra the Thai Touch team takes seriously. The light, warm, airy ambience, the gorgeous smell of essential oils – it all began to work on me as soon as I stepped in through the front door at Thai Touch and climbed the stairs to the studio.

As I sat down and my feet slipped into the warm herbal foot bath, my stress was already melting. Warm greetings, genuine smiles and soft expressions - I knew I was in for a treat, even before I got into the massage room.

Orasa and Nigel Banks, directors of Thai Touch had explained to me what ‘be your best self’ means to Thai Touch. “Thai massage therapists learn in massage school how to free up energy flow through the body. Thai massage involves both briefly sustained compressions of muscles and stretching,” says Nigel.

“It combines massage, stretching, yoga, and acupressure to create an integrated massage experience.

“Stretching improves posture and flexibility. It lengthens muscles and connective tissues, reducing the pace of

degeneration associated with ageing.”

As informed people the world over increasingly focus on health and quality of life, not just length of life, I could see how releasing tension should be a priority for everyone.

After my own massage, I also understood how dramatic transformations happen in Thai Touch therapy sessions.

Customers often report feeling more refreshed, relaxed and having freer movement. Small wonder that Thai massage has become routine for so many Thai Touch customers.

“Clinical studies confirm that Thai massage promotes circulation,” says Orasa.

“It energises the body, increasing stamina and fitness.

It improves concentration and mood. It strengthens cardiovascular health, stabilises blood sugar and even provides relief from headaches. As one customer put it in her recent online review of Thai Touch: ‘I walked in with a migraine and walked out on cloud nine’.

Nigel says other clinical work has shown that Thai massage can be effective against a range of common chronic health conditions.

“It reduced myofascial pain and improved freedom of movement with the proverbial “frozen shoulder”. It reduced symptoms and challenges of arthritis of the knee. And a 2015 study on soccer players showed improved physical fitness following Thai massage.”

Thai message can reduce anxiety and increase relaxation – key to sustaining a healthy mind.

“Clients report feeling as though a weight has been removed from both mind and body,” says Orasa, “and Thai massage has been shown to reduce physiological indicators of stress.”

With every therapy room brimming with that warm, relaxing atmosphere, it is a perfect place to escape to on a cold day.
