<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
