We applaud the calling for a Special AVCP convention focusing on “State of our Salmon” and we fully agree that it is very important to try to address this. However, we feel that we need to see the BIG picture and elevate the discussions to “State of our Yupiaq/Cupiaq Peoples of Western Alaska”. AVCP was...Articles from the February 22, 2012 edition of The Delta Discoveryhttp://www.deltadiscovery.com/cgi-bin/start.cgi/cms/story.html?id=022120121453670469390http://www.deltadiscovery.com/cgi-bin/start.cgi/cms/story.html?id=022120121453670469390by Rep.

In 2nd grade, a classmate that I shared crayons with dramatically changed when her sister committed suicide. She was outgoing, smart, and very intelligent. We taught each other how to tell time and how to do math. We shared our favorite colors and had fun because we had no worries. Our relationship as classmates and buddies went downhill...Articles from the February 22, 2012 edition of The Delta Discoveryhttp://www.deltadiscovery.com/cgi-bin/start.cgi/cms/story.html?id=022120121454531743876http://www.deltadiscovery.com/cgi-bin/start.cgi/cms/story.html?id=022120121454531743876Sam and I were childhood friends having grown up in Bethel back in the 1950s. We hung out together. As kids we fought like any other kids, I guess that bonded our friendship, because we remained lifelong friends. As young teenagers, I inherited a boat and a motor. We loved to hunt. On our first excursion into “no man’s land,” as we called it, we encountered an outboard motor problem. My 18...Articles from the February 22, 2012 edition of The Delta Discoveryhttp://www.deltadiscovery.com/cgi-bin/start.cgi/cms/story.html?id=02212012145466716936http://www.deltadiscovery.com/cgi-bin/start.cgi/cms/story.html?id=02212012145466716936Dear Delta, I’ve been thinking how it was best to start this letter out, after our recent tragedy I was thinking about how my late dad Walter Naneng would gather all his grandchildren together and talk to them about taking ones life and he would bless each and every one of them. How so much love he had for them all. Thanks to him I see it every time I look in their eyes that LOVE AND PEACE that...Articles from the February 22, 2012 edition of The Delta Discoveryhttp://www.deltadiscovery.com/cgi-bin/start.cgi/cms/story.html?id=022120121456785901355http://www.deltadiscovery.com/cgi-bin/start.cgi/cms/story.html?id=022120121456785901355Greetings. Banana belt weather is back. 35 degrees with no wind feels like 60. That’s the Bethel mindset. Not quite picnic weather, but getting there. A few years back I was in Fairbanks attending a doll-making class. At lunch break a lady dashed home and returned a half hour latter with a batch of cookies she’d made during her absence. What? It’s true. Might take you a little longer, but...Articles from the February 22, 2012 edition of The Delta Discoveryhttp://www.deltadiscovery.com/cgi-bin/start.cgi/cms/story.html?id=022120121457962338490http://www.deltadiscovery.com/cgi-bin/start.cgi/cms/story.html?id=022120121457962338490Sheldon Point School held its Third Annual Science Fair on January 27th.

History tells us of plenty of times that people have, however, escaped from jail. If you have never been to the Yukon-Kuksokwim Correctional Center, then imagine it as you think it might look.
