Three long time friends graduated together this year.
Left to right: Paul Bealer, Caleb Parker, and Matthew Sharp. Each of
these young men achieved
the rank of Eagle Scout during their scouting careers and were also
recipient's of the local Spirit of Youth Award. Their Eagle Scout
projects
have made a lasting impression on the community. Paul built the
reading gazebo at the city library, Caleb built picnic tables for
Pioneer's Park, and Matt's project was the "Prayer Garden" on the
bank of the Delta River behind the First Baptist Church.

Pam Dunklebarger and all the staff of the DNW Looking for Pictures of Delta High School Baccalaureate and Graduation I attended the Baccalaureate service Thursday night in honor of the Delta High School graduating class of 2003. I was moved to see so many of the young people show up. This was not mandatory, but they came to this one time event that takes place in each graduating senior's life. Many prayers go out in our community, especially for the youth with all the things they are faced with daily. I want to thank Pastors: Curtis Taylor, Bob Pratt, Terry Pfulgrad, Dave Becker, Carin Bear, Dean Bialik, and Father John Martinek for leading this wonderful service and pouring out of yourselves to these young people. The evening was enjoyed by everyone who attended. The music was beautiful, thanks to the Delta High Choir Ensemble, and the Delta High School Choir. Special recognition goes to Hillel EchoHawk and Brooke Leslie for a song that Hillel had written for the graduating class. Brooke also sang a song "Come Just As You Are" If you have never heard Brooke sing, you have missed a blessing. Thank you to all the teachers, parents, staff, and volunteers who have helped these young people over the years to achieve to one of their highest goals in life. I would like for anyone who took pictures of the high school events to send them to the Delta News Web, so we can show honor to these young adults and the achievements they have made. Congratulations 2003 Graduates. May God continue to bless each of you, as you start on your next journey as adults. Remember the words: "Seek Ye First the Kingdom the God and His righteousness" This is the greatest thing you can do as you journey through adulthood. Pam Dunklebarger

"Don't even think about throwing out that fish carcass," this Homer bald eagle seems to be saying. Delta News Web publisher David Johnson snapped this picture at the Homer small boat harbor near a fish carcass cart. The cart was provided by the Habormaster for fish carcasses so as to avoid polluting the boat basin. Several bald eagles had staked out the cart, and didn't sem very interested in leaving, even with people wandering around.

The tractor is a familiar sight to Delta folks.....but perhaps not in this service. "The Tractor Factor" operates out of Anchor Point -- at the western most point of the contiguous North American road system --to put in and take out fishing boats during the summer months. The tractor backs the boat and trailer into the surf, launches the boat, and then repeats the process at the end of the day. The charge is $40 for in and out. Not a bad job on a nice day, but when "surf's up" it must be a bit hairy. Photo by David Johnson. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY Monday, May 5 was David Gibbs birthday. He is still in CA but hopes to see everyone this summer. Frieda Gibbs -- May 7 "A Collaborative Effort of Talents" 127,000 mailboxes across Alaska will soon have the collaborative effort of two individuals tucked away in the pages of a monthly shopper. Steve Dubois, a biologist for the Alaska State Department of Fish and Game, Delta Junction, wrote a short story called "Solo" about his early dog mushing experiences in the interior.
