By Dimitri Frost

It's here. W ith the overwhelming support from our Tutukaka Coast business community, a good number of Whangarei based businesses and the widespread endorsement from our local readers - thank you, w e couldn't have done it without you! A couple of months ago we thought we'd hope to do about 8 to 12 pages for The Coastie Summer Edition . We finally did a whopping 28 pages! (twenty eight) It was fun to  'just get started' with The Coastie last January (it was literally bookmark size then...) We've received feedback like "The Coast really needed something like this" and ... "Good on you for taking this on" ... So yeah, it's been a fabulous ride this year, learning lots while making and publishing  The Coastie  every week since January and now making this "bumper" Summer Edition - thanks to our readers and advertisers it all came together in it's unique way, Coastie style. Already feeling curious how The Coastie  may

Local Jade Carver Donn Salt Making History in China

By Dimitri Frost

Great news in the NZ Herald  today. Out of 2500 entries Donn Salt's White Dragon was awarded the silver medal in China's national Zi Gan Bei jade carving competition held at the end of September 2013. Donn is the first person outside China to win such a prestigeous award. Not a small feat considering China's thousands of years of jade carving history. Congratulations Donn Salt! The Coastie had featured a story about Donn Salt and his work in issue 80, sending him off with our best wishes as he departed to exhibit at the above mentioned competition in the city of Suzhou, eastern China.(click image below to enlarge) You can read the Herald article here .

Revving up to The Coastie Summer Edition #2

By Dimitri Frost

Last summer (2012/13), we published our first Summer Edition to cover the holiday period, giving both locals and visitors something nice with plenty of info on things to do along the Tutukaka Coast while giving local businesses, artists and trades people an attractive and well received advertising platform to reach holiday makers during the busy summer months. Our efforts had been so well received in fact, that we had to keep expanding the scope of The Coastie to nearly three times the size we had initially hoped to produce. So now we embrace the challenge to repeat a good thing while attempting to improve the value of our small local publication for all involved. Interest has been significant in anticipation to this year's production already, which is very encouraging for us. Bigger print run & wider reach This time, we are aiming to build even more of a bridge between the Tutukaka Coast and Whangarei City, since coast and town seem inextricably linked, both offer
