There's great excitement and extreme pride at Padelford Riverboats today with announcement that Capt. Nicholas Halter, who also is a Journalism student at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, has won the Devroy Fellowship and will spend his next winter break in Washington, D.C. working at the Washington Post. The Fellowship includes a three-week residency at The Post, $1,400 to defray costs and an internship with the Milwaukee Sentinel in the summer of 2008.
Halter was recipient of the Padelford's 2005 Fallon Bowell Scholarship -- obviously, we picked the right man for the job. The only bad news is that Nick, although he plans to be on the riverboats this summer, will be off pursuing Mark Twain's passion next year.

Ch 11 TV's Sven Takes A Riverboat Ride
TV weather guru Sven Sundgaard hopped aboard the Jonathan Padelford Wednesday (May 9) morning for aThe Birding Boat Cruise with the U.S. National Park Service and Minnesota Audubon Society. Sven and the cast of birders aboard the Padelford were not disappointed as they spotted scores of song birds, a peregrine falcon and a majestic American Bald Eagle that swooped down almost on cue and snapped a fish right out of river before their eyes. The KARE Ch 11 photographer captured the sight and displayed the giant raptor's successful fishing adventure on the 6 p.m. newscast Thursday, May 17 as part of Sven's Simply Science segment. http://www.kare11.com/video/life/community/simplyscience/player.aspx?aid=47667&bw=
