<strong>The</strong> first edition of this newsletter (originally<br />

called <strong>Dargaville</strong> Online) was published on the<br />

29 th February 2008 (a leap year). You can read<br />

it and all other editions by clicking here.<br />

In that time we have exposed, insulted,<br />

upset, informed, and questioned people and<br />

events in our community here in the <strong>Kaipara</strong><br />

– and beyond as well. In turn we have been<br />

challenged, threatened, insulted, thanked,<br />

and widely read by more than 3500 people<br />

each week across the globe. It is reported by<br />

insiders that the last Mayor of the District was<br />

well know for mumbling about the editorials<br />

and exposes that we have published on his<br />

councils performance. We are not flavour of<br />

the year with other local weekly newspapers as<br />

we can get out “special editions” as required<br />

when major events occur. That is the advantage of Internet publications over print media.<br />

We also publish advance notice of events that are going to happen in and around the District totally free of charge.<br />

Please let us know about your events well in advance so we can help you promote them.<br />

If you have any thoughts, suggestions, criticisms, or just want to sound off – then send a letter to the editor. We publish<br />

all letters received, usually without any editing, as long as they do not contain illegal content or images.<br />

A big thank you to all who read this newsletter and contribute thoughts, ideas, cartoons and jokes every week. While<br />

you may not always get an acknowledgement we do our best to entertain.<br />

Some Interesting Feedback<br />

<strong>The</strong> comments in last weeks newsletter about the performance of the <strong>Kaipara</strong> District Council Commissioners certainly<br />

provoked a reaction. Thank you Clive Boonham for the suggestion in your blog <strong>Kaipara</strong> Concerns dated 24 Feb 2013<br />

(A View From <strong>The</strong> West) that this newsletter is a barometer of thinking on the West Coast. Not sure if the comment<br />

is accurate but it is nice to get noticed and acknowledged. Like your blog, this newsletter is the work of mostly one<br />

individual who expresses his opinions for others to think about.<br />

Living in <strong>Dargaville</strong> can be a very challenging experience for anyone who is a “investigative thinker”. Full of mostly
