introduction

Steve from

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to introduce myself if you don't know me already. Having owned two Optometrist practices in Hastings and Havelock North called Eye Deal Opticians (now Specsavers Hastings) back in 2002 and not long after winning the Hastings Best Business Award, I decided on a change of career and location and moved to the Kapiti coast where I ran a small gardening business called Kapiti Garden Designs (after 25 years indoors, I needed sunshine and beach!) Then after 7 years of gardening and designing gardens I realised the body needed an easier job ( gardening could be like 40 hours at the gym) So a friend of mine said, "you'd be good at what I do, Real Estate," so I got qualified and licensed as a Real Estate Consultant, which is still very much comparative to a good Optician, if they're customer focused. So I moved back to the place I loved, Hawke's Bay and kept the gardening business going with a worker whilst I concentrated on Real Estate. I renamed the business to Hawke's Bay Gardens and cracked on with Real Estate working for Harcourts. I'd checked out a few other agencies on the way and didn't get the vibe.
I'm really enjoying it, it's challenging, but I get to speak to people, share some uk humour (sorry about that) and get to spend time outdoors...AND...I'm self employed, so in essence it's my own little business within Harcourts. OK I'm done with my essay. Looking forward to meeting you all and if you have any property questions I'm here to help you all the way.

Fluoride Free Procession and Protest

Kevin Neighbourly Lead from Mahora

Thursday 18th April at 11am.
Many Hawkes Bay residents will have seen notices and petitions that Fluoride Free Hawkes Bay have circulated. Hastings District Council added hydrofluorosilicic acid to our water supply without informed consent, and without warnings placed at the Flaxmere and Havelock Nth water distribution points. This toxic chemical is harmful to many but especially pregnant mothers and bottle-fed babies.
Fluoride Free New Zealand and NZDoctorsSOS have filed an injunction in the high Court contesting this action.
On Thurs residents are urged to meet at the Hastings Civic Square, and then at 1130am sharp proceed through the Hastings CBD, arriving at HDCouncil about 12noon where professional speakers, local and throughout New Zealand, will explain the problems with this recognised poison.
Please share this public notice to whanau, family and friends.
