I go to different places for different things. One of my co-workers and I tried to eat out at a Delhi establishment once a week at the end of the school year. We may resume a similar rotation when school starts back up again. We have the walk to a few places timed so we can try to walk to lunch some of the time.</p> <p>When you eat out in Delhi, where do you go? </p> http://forum.delhiexpressnews.com/topic.php?id=10#post-15 Fri, 04 Jul 2008 13:32:41 +0000 rebekah 15@http://forum.delhiexpressnews.com/ <p>Did you attend Delhi's Independence Day celebration last night? It was wonderful to see so many people there together, having fun and enjoying the evening. As I pulled into the parking lot, I looked around and thought to myself, "This is the way it's supposed to be." It looked the way I always picture Fourth of July celebrations. A couple of people asked me why it was changed from the fourth to the third and I explained that the fireworks display cost less by being on the third and there have been budget concerns.</p> <p>From talking with Robert Rodarte (outgoing chairman), it sounds as though the celebrations will continue with a new chairperson, but the community really needs to rally together to help keep this event going. The event is free with a small charge for parking. What are you willing and able to do to keep this event going?</p> <p>What is your favorite part of the event? What did you think of last night's event? Tell us what you think! </p> http://forum.delhiexpressnews.com/topic.php?id=49#post-62 Thu, 26 Nov 2009 04:19:08 +0000 rebekah 62@http://forum.delhiexpressnews.com/ <p>Today is Thanksgiving. We hope you and your families have a wonderful day.</p> <p>For what are you thankful?</p> <p>I am thankful for my family, friends and new beginnings. I am also thankful that the new recipes I've been trying have turned out ok. </p> http://forum.delhiexpressnews.com/topic.php?id=48#post-61 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:11:13 +0000 rebekah 61@http://forum.delhiexpressnews.com/ <p>Whether you completed your high school (or even college) education long ago or are just now in your freshman year of high school, we'd love to see your thoughts on education. What are your favorite subjects? Why? What has helped you in school? What would you like to see more of in elementary, junior high and high schools?

What were your thoughts on the meeting and some of the topics discussed? Due to family commitments, we did not have anyone at the meeting after 8:15 p.m., but we understand the meeting went until 12:30 a.m.! Did you stay for the entire meeting? Why did you attend? Why did you stay? Why did you leave when you did? Did you speak? What did you say?

Earlier this year, Darrel and I lost our second son who was stillborn on April 26. In his honor and to honor all babies who were born still, miscarriage survivors and those parents who have lost babies to SIDS or other deaths at such a tender age, we will host a candle lighting on October 15 at 7 p.m. It will take place at Perfect Blend. Please join us. Here, you may leave a post in honor of someone you know or for yourself. Or leave another message related to October 15. </p> http://forum.delhiexpressnews.com/topic.php?id=45#post-57 Thu, 01 Oct 2009 12:29:21 +0000 rebekah 57@http://forum.delhiexpressnews.com/ <p>What are your thoughts on the new stop sign at Stephens and Schendel?

This is a sad business loss for the Delhi community. What do you think about the closure? Did you fill up your gas tanks there? Did you eat Subway sandwiches? Will this impact your daily life? If so, how? If not, why not? </p> http://forum.delhiexpressnews.com/topic.php?id=32#post-43 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 13:34:42 +0000 rebekah 43@http://forum.delhiexpressnews.com/ <p>What are your favorite Delhi businesses?

If so, what did you think of it?</p> <p>I took a few of our journalism students and we participated in the parade. Hopefully you got a copy of the most recent Delhi Express printed edition as we were handing them out. It was great to be a part of this parade.</p> <p>If you were in the parade, what did you think?</p> <p>How about Freedom Festival 2009? Did you brave the heat and go? What did you think of it? We were out at the festival also promoting the newspaper and art in Delhi.</p> <p>Did you miss the fireworks? If so...what suggestions do you have? What would you be willing to do to help bring fireworks back to Delhi next year? Did you know that if everyone in Delhi gave just $1, it would nearly pay for the fireworks?</p> <p>Use this thread to share your Fourth of July 2009 stories and feedback, but to also brainstorm ideas for future Fourth of July events. </p> http://forum.delhiexpressnews.com/topic.php?id=25#post-34 Sat, 30 May 2009 17:33:16 +0000 misela 34@http://forum.delhiexpressnews.com/ <p>I just discovered that we have a newspaper in Delhi, and I see that this page is not used very frequently. I feel like the community should be a lot more involved in this, but it needs to be advertised a lot more so that people are aware of its existence. </p> <p> For those of you who are reading this and even slightly agree with this, do you have any ideas of how to advertise? </p> http://forum.delhiexpressnews.com/topic.php?id=27#post-36 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 12:08:57 +0000 rebekah 36@http://forum.delhiexpressnews.com/ <p>Delhi finally had a bank open. Many local businesses and organizations used the bank. It was an exciting time for Delhi. Earlier this year, County Bank experienced some devastating trouble and was acquired by WestAmerica Bank. It turned out that the Delhi branch was one of the branches that was closed after the initial take-over. </p> http://forum.delhiexpressnews.com/topic.php?id=26#post-35 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 12:06:56 +0000 rebekah 35@http://forum.delhiexpressnews.com/ <p>Did you know that there is a State Recreation Area just down the road? And, did you know that it is on a list the state legislature is considering closing? McConnell SRA is one of 220 state parks that will be closed if approved by our legislators as they look for ways to trim the state budget. What are your thoughts? </p> http://forum.delhiexpressnews.com/topic.php?id=24#post-32 Sat, 07 Feb 2009 21:07:23 +0000 rebekah 32@http://forum.delhiexpressnews.com/ <p>In an agreement with the FDIC, Westamerica was scheduled to acquire all County Bank deposits. The FDIC's decision to close County Bank and have Westamerica take over the deposits came in an announcement Friday, February 6.</p> <p>County Bank opened in Delhi in June 2007. The Delhi branch has reportedly been successful in opening new accounts.</p> <p>Do you use County Bank? If so, have you been satisfied with the services offered? Will you continue to use them now as Westamerica Bank? How do you feel about this week's announcement?</p> <p>Offer you thoughts here. </p> http://forum.delhiexpressnews.com/topic.php?id=23#post-31 Wed, 21 Jan 2009 10:56:25 +0000 rebekah 31@http://forum.delhiexpressnews.com/ <p>Calling all churches in the Delhi area!

Loosing is pretty much a promised thing at this point. Wouldn't it be better to just practice the heck out of this team while trying to recruit more players? Isn't loosing all the time going to be demoralizing and cause the kids to not want to join a loosing football team? What are your thoughts? </p> http://forum.delhiexpressnews.com/topic.php?id=14#post-19 Sun, 31 Aug 2008 01:44:06 +0000 rebekah 19@http://forum.delhiexpressnews.com/ <p>How do you feel about what happened to KC's Pizza on Monday? What will you miss most? Do you hope they'll return? If so, why?</p> <p>What is your favorite memory from KC's? Please fill us in on what and why.</p> <p>I was very sad to watch as fire crews finished their work on putting out the fire at the local eatery. In fact, I was near tears and had to leave. I was at almost a complete loss for words (which as many will tell you is not something that happens often).</p> <p>I loved the support KC's offered the community regardless of who the owner was at any given time. It was almost as if commitment to the community was built in to the owner role for the restaurant. We held historical society meetings there for awhile and I will remember them fondly. I especially enjoyed the Christmas party we had for the historical society there one year. Regardless of whether or not KC's opens again, regardless of whether or not the building is rebuilt...there are memories and photographs (among other things) that will never be replaced.</p> <p>Thank you to Walter, Louie and Margrit, Flora, Greg, Albert and anyone I may have forgotten for your commitment to the community through KC's Pizza. There are especially many local youth who appreciate all you have done for them. </p> http://forum.delhiexpressnews.com/topic.php?id=16#post-21 Sun, 14 Sep 2008 09:19:07 +0000 rebekah 21@http://forum.delhiexpressnews.com/ <p>The Delhi Adult School started its fall term on September 2.
