This year’s Independence Day celebration for Delhi will take place on Thursday, July 3. The event that brings the community together has faced challenges over the past year. As many have experienced difficult economic times, giving and participation is down.

Chairman Robert Rodarte committed to co-ordinating the event for three years. This year marks the end of that three-year time period. So, in addition to a decrease in donations to the event, it is in need of a new chairperson.

By holding the fireworks event on July 3, it helped save on cost.

The event will begin at 7 p.m. with concessions and continue with the fireworks beginning at sundown. The patriotic event, celebrating the birth of the United States, will again take place at the Delhi Educational Park.

A version of this editorial first ran in the July 2007 edition of The Delhi Express. This month we bring you an updated reminder of why and how you can Think Delhi.

As Delhi’s premiere source for local news, it is only natural for us to focus on why you should support your local businesses. After all, the hometown newspaper should support the hometown businesses.

Some of you may be reading The Delhi Express for the first time. Some may be lifelong readers. We are aware that there are people in our town who may not realize all that Delhi has to offer. There are many great shopping and other business opportunities right here at home. There is more to do than sleep and eat at your home in Delhi.

If you’re looking for a good steak, the Elegant Bull has delicious offerings. The steak is the best in the area by far.

A recent tragedy is on the minds of many people right now. And it hits home for Delhi. Frances Casian, a teacher at El Capitan in Delhi, is going through what is probably the most tragic thing that can happen to a mother, the death of her two-year-old son, Axel. Axel was killed by his own father, Sergio Casian Aguiar of Turlock. Can there be anything worse? We will probably never know what caused Aguiar to commit this horrific act. Please pray for this family. I’m trying to keep in mind that Aguiar is also some mother’s son.

Connor Duncan’s first birthday party was a lot of fun. He loved his birthday cake. We went swimming even though the water was a little chilly. I took Connor underwater a couple of times and he didn’t bat an eye. He really loves the water. My grandsons Kevin and Cody also love to swim. They are lucky to have a pool. It was the river or the canal in my day. We preferred the river but we had to get somebody to take us and find the money for gas. Kids didn’t have cars like they do now. The lake was out of the question. Much too far. I wouldn’t think of going swimming in the canals now. In any case, I don’t think it’s permitted.

As news emerged of the tragic beating death of a two-year-old boy, people throughout the Central Valley, the state, the nation and even around the world were shocked and saddened. This news has especially hit home in Delhi where the boy’s mother, Frances Casian, is an elementary school teacher at El Capitan.

“We offer our sincere condolences and prayers,” said Brenda Saavedra on behalf of the owners of Delhi Curves and the Perfect Blend Coffee Shop.

Some area residents have asked what they can do to help. A fund has been started through Delhi Unified School District. A fellow teacher is helping to handle the fund. Donations can be made to DUSD. Checks should be made payable to DUSD with Frances Casian in the memo line. Donations can be mailed to or dropped off at the district office, 9716 Hinton, Delhi, CA 95315.

Services for the young boy, Axel Casian, are private.
