How would you respond to a letter from the editor of your local newspaper that read in part:
before you carry out your plans.
If it so happens these things become accepted by the community and the authorities which govern us, I will be happy to give some coverage.

i wouldn't advertise. but then who does these days?
Newspapers in NZ have failed to keep up with web 2.0 to the point where they are becoming inconsequential.
The interpipes eh?
I'll give it a shot.
Perhaps there's an audience out there ...
word around town is that the particular newspaper you are referring to is actually now the 'Union Church Newsletter'.
Mind you I imagine the ed is rather embarressed as to her association with the first removal. If you happen to go into the research dept of te hikoi you get the best view possible of 'the moose'
Southernright - you've an impressive insight into the machinations of the wee town!
I was in the research dept of Te Hikoi just last week, coincidentally enough, though didn't look out the window, so engrossed was I by the photos the tow fine gentlemen who labour there were showing me, images of the now-extinct Customhouse, from which customs officers of yore would emerge in order to intercept the sailing ships, their crew and any contraband they may have stowed amidships (or any where else abourd I suppose). Both those very helpful and knowledgeable men seem to harbour no ill-feeling towards the moose, so far as I could tell, but then I don't think they are Union men either. I think I mentioned earlier that the Anglican church congregation had reconvened stag-side as part of their Sunday service. I found that heart-warming. The chemist did say, during a conversation we had, that she wanted the stag shifted ... closer to her place so that she could look out her window and see it!
A staff memeber at the museum wondered if the stag was for sale and if she might buy it!
Radar gave the driftwood art a big plug at his show on Monday night and his endorsment was greeted with a hearty cheer. He said it was the kind of thing that made small NZ towns like Riverton special.
CueTV is running a piece on the 'controversy' tomorrow, I believe and you will have seen the 'sad faced artist' in today's Southland Times.
Thanks, btw, for your up-dates. They're edifying.
