KEEPING UP THE STANDARDS

Well I never....I never thought it would take 4 days to get over, recover, revive, and feel much better after succumbing to some undiagnosed unwellness....but today there is a glimmer, a mere glimmer of hope and I just might make it through the day.

An article in Saturday's Herald (Herald Homes) refers to misleading advertising and the impact of such. While The Advertising Standards Authority is there to monitor such transgressions and deal with any complaints, often damage is done and is irreparable.

That is why when I refer to living in Opotiki and what is happening here at any given time, you can be confident it is not just from a subjective point of view, or fabricated.

For e.g we do have a CBD (albeit a Compact Business District).

An A & E (5-6 beds)and other health centres.




A supermarket (a smaller version of most city marts and without checkout conveyer belts) plus a couple of superettes.


Our own community radio station 88.1 FM (rumoured to be 'streaming' soon) that I am lucky to be involved with by doing a 1 hour show every week.


Schools, clubs, parks (including skate), movie theatre etc, etc, etc.


Beaches that go for miles (kms), rivers that go for miles (kms), bush that goes for miles(kms)..

A council that are very keen to pursue and promote development, and parade our district initiatives to whomever and wherever needed.


And the list goes on. To long to mention everything and in danger of leaving things out.

Imagine everything one needs to have. For a lifestyle a little less stressful, I believe you will find it here.

If not, someone will start a group.

All photos taken this morning. Oh yes, the sun does shine on us.

And this is where I work, be sure to call in..
