 SUNY Delhi's culinary students compete at ACF competition in Las Vegas.

 

DELHI —SUNY Delhi's hot food student team took first place at the prestigious 2025 American Culinary Federation (ACF) Student Team of the Year national competition in Las Vegas, Nevada, in a remarkable showcase of their culinary skills, creativity, and composure. The achievement reinforces SUNY Delhi's reputation as a culinary powerhouse on the national stage.

After claiming the Northeast regional title in a qualifier earlier this year, Team Delhi advanced to compete against champions from four other regions at nationals. In Las Vegas, they wowed the judges with a four-course menu entitled "Journey through the Catskills Mountains," elevating locally sourced produce, dairy, fish, and lamb to meet the flash and luxury of Las Vegas.

Judges praised Team Delhi for the flawless execution of their menu with balanced flavors, advanced techniques, and polished presentation, awarding them a near-perfect gold medal score of 97. The team also earned high marks for impeccable timing, cleanliness, and composure under pressure.

The championship team included captain Brennan Spencer (Painted Post, NY); Sarthak Thapa (Delhi, NY); Moses Rojas (Bronx, NY); Matthew Caliendo (Massapequa, NY); and Derik Cole (Big Flats, NY). Jahnasia Sutton (New York, NY) and Joseph Kariuki (Worcester, MA) supported the team as apprentices. The students were coached by Chef Victor Sommo and Chef Sean Pehrsson, who guided the team through hundreds of hours of practice and preparation.

"We are relieved and overjoyed to have our hard work pay off," says team captain Spencer. "We're proud to bring the trophy home to Delhi as national champions."

"Each member of the team has been committed from day one and practiced relentlessly to perfect their dishes," says Chef Pehrsson. "They were able to execute the menu exactly how we planned it. As coaches, Chef Sommo and I couldn't be prouder to see them pour their hearts into every detail and watch their dedication pay off -- they were incredible. The critique from the judges was the best we've ever received as a team."

"We are incredibly proud of Team Delhi's outstanding achievement at the ACF National Convention," SUNY Delhi Provost David Brower says. "They spent countless hours preparing for this important event, and their talent, discipline, and teamwork were evident. This victory is a testament to their potential, and there's no doubt their dedication will carry them far in their culinary careers."

Says SUNY Delhi President Mary Bonderoff, "This national championship showcases the exceptional quality of our culinary program and the commitment of our students and faculty. It's a powerful reminder of what hands-on learning, perseverance, and teamwork can achieve. We couldn't be happier to see Team Delhi represent SUNY Delhi with such skill and grace on a national stage."

For more information, contact Chef Victor Sommo at 518-928-8028 or Chef Sean Pehrsson at 518-337-0756.

FREE WALKABOUT - PALATINES, WEISER, AND THEIR MOHAWK NEIGHBORS

MIDDLEBURGH – Historian and author Jeff O’Connor of Turning Point 1777 will lead a walkabout in the Village of Middleburgh on Saturday, April 20.  The unique relationship between the Palatines and Mohawk people will be explored on the roughly 1-mile loop, which will take approximately 1.5 hrs to complete. The walkabout begins in front of the Middleburgh High School at 10:00am. Free of charge. No reservations are needed.  Rain or shine. Inquiries can be made by emailing colonialny@turningpoint1777.com or through Facebook.com/turningpoint1777 

The walkabout narrative will explore the experiences of the Palatines in the Schoharie Valley and their relationship with the Mohawk people who already lived there.  O’Connor states, “connecting these neighbors was young Conrad Weiser, Jr. who learned the Mohawk language and culture that became the foundation of a lifelong career as a prominent interpreter in Pennsylvania.”

 Weiser’s father, Johan Conrad Weiser, was the catalyst for about 170 Palatine families moving into the Schoharie Valley beginning in late 1712.  The circumstances behind their arrival, and the events that led to many leaving the valley, will be featured.  

The Palatine story is a Mohawk one as well.  The historian points out, “Mohawks provided these 

desperate families land, food, and support that meant the difference between life and death.”  The Palatines were the first large European group to live among the Haudenosaunee, or Five Nations.  The circumstances behind Mohawks returning to the Schoharie Valley after a period of vacancy, and why land was set aside for the Palatines not long after, will also be presented.  The course of the walkabout will highlight places and natural landscapes that were familiar to both the Palatine and Mohawk people.  

The walkabout pulls from O’Connor’s “Skohere and the Birth of New York’s Western Frontier 1609-1731” trilogy book series and is meant to provide a preview of it.  As he says, “The series plotted a course toward this unique Palatine and Mohawk shared experience as the finale, merging so many compelling stories into one great one.”  O’Connor adds that the walk narrative, like the books, “challenges accepted history.”

Jeff O’Connor is an accomplished historian who has a deep connection to the Schoharie County historical community.  He and his wife Pam team up as Turning Point 1777 to provide guided walking and driving tours in Schoharie County, authentic historic flag reproductions, and publications.

Hiker Airlifted to Hospital After 30-Foot Fall in Fulton

FULTON – An injured hiker was rescued and airlifted to Albany Medical Center on Tuesday afternoon after falling approximately 30 feet down a steep hillside in the Town of Fulton.

According to a press release from the Middleburgh Fire Department, first responders were dispatched at approximately 2:09 p.m. on Aug. 5 for a search and rescue operation near old State Route 30, on the side of Max V. Shaul State Park.

The hiker, who had been on a long trail above the old state route, was located on the north side of a washout from a previous landslide, making the location inaccessible from the park side. Rescue crews moved to Beaver Lane off Tetterbak Lane to reach the individual.

The hiker was stabilized by EMS personnel and transported by a Middleburgh Fire Department UTV to a waiting Schoharie-Wright ambulance. The ambulance then took the patient to a landing zone at the Valley Soccer field, where a LifeNet helicopter was waiting to fly the hiker to Albany Medical Center for treatment.

Multiple agencies responded to the call for mutual aid, including the New York State Police, Schoharie Fire Department, Schoharie-Wright EMS, Schoharie County Search and Rescue, Schoharie County EMS & Medic, and the West Fulton Fire Department. The Middleburgh Fire Department responded with six members and four pieces of apparatus.

As we approach the 250th anniversary of the birth of this nation, the Jefferson Historical Society is taking a look back at the ways our small rural towns were created and at the people who did the work to create a community.  Ruch will bring the songs and stories of these early residents to life.

Diane Acevedo Book Signing Aug. 9

SCHOHARIE – Diane Acevedo will be presenting copies of her new book, “Bedtime for Liliana” at the Schoharie Mercantile, 303 Main Street, Schoharie. The book signing on Saturday August 9, from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm

Diane Acevedo helped to raise over 125 children over a 25-year career as a daycare provider. One child, Liliana, was afraid to go to sleep at night. So Diane created a bedtime story featuring Liliana and a small friendly monster that needed her help to overcome its fear of the dark. To go along with this book, Diane sewed a stuffy monster friend to hold at bedtime. The book and monster helped ease Liliana’s fears and allowed her to sleep better at night.
The book was illustrated by Diane's son Alec and has now been published. Alec is an illustrator who enjoys working on everything from children’s books to fantasy and role-playing games. Diane also creates various arts and crafts and is a member of the Schoharie Chapter NSDAR.

Final Schoharie Library Fun Friday with the Youth Bureau for the Summer

 

Riley Walton, Suzzy Kotoku, Johanna Luhrman, Schoharie Library Director & Librarian Yvonne Keller-Baker, and Deidre Lewis in front of the Schoharie Library after their Aug. 1st I Spy Adventure. Friendly faces from the Schoharie County Youth Bureau became familiar to kids thanks to Youth Bureau Director, Cody Robinson-Bullock. Walton said it was Cody’s idea to keep staff consistent for all their library trips so kids could recognize them and anticipate who to expect to be there each week. Lewis hopes those connections will continue when kids get to see them again at future events like The Sunshine Fair. 

 

Volunteers Betsy Wright, Father Tom Zelker, Josie Ennist, Julie Lindh, Pat Clancy, and Cindi O’Bryan giving out free lunches sponsored by The Joshua Project after the Aug. 1st I Spy Fun Friday with the Schoharie County Youth Bureau at The Schoharie Library. Ennist (3rd to the right), has been spending her retirement doing as much as she can helping with Library and Joshua Project fundraising committees, at the Middleburgh site last summer, and said, “I worked in food related jobs, so I feel at home with helping with this kind of stuff.”

At the Schoharie Library Fun Fridays with the Schoharie County Youth Bureau I Spy Adventure on August 1st, participants who completed the scavenger hunt got to pick a prize, get traced on the paper roll laid out along the sidewalk, and draw and write messages within their traced silhouettes. The scavenger hunt led them inside the library to find a stapler and bookshelf, to make social connections visiting Riley, Ms. D, & Ms. Yvonne, and outside to seek hidden objects like a compass and nature including a tree and searching until coming across a live ant.

By Heather Skinner

SCHOHARIE — The Schoharie County Youth Bureau finished their Schoharie Library Fun Fridays summer programming series on Friday August 1st. Schoharie Library Director & Librarian Yvonne Keller-Baker (Miss Yvonne) said, “Schoharie Library’s been working with the Youth Bureau for 3 years, and at the beginning of summer planning we involved the other County libraries so they could make plans with the Youth Bureau to program all over the County. And we also have the County-wide calendar that has all the library events on it, so everything is in one place for families. We’re in it together around here!”

Riley Walton was among the Schoharie County Youth Bureau’s August 1st Fun Friday staff, assisting kids with I Spy scavenger hunt activities. Walton noted that libraries are great community hubs and was happy to be at all four Schoharie County libraries (Schoharie, Middleburgh, Cobleskill, & Sharon Springs) this year, witnessing more and more families come out for Fun Fridays each week.

Reflecting on this summer’s library events, Walton explained that, especially with the younger age groups, “It’s much more about having fun than about strict programming… A lot of the time we just have props laid out and they just do their own thing.” When choosing crafts for the events, the Youth Bureau aimed to give kids the opportunity to be entertained and creative, to which Walton explained, “We like a lot of the hands-on stuff to help with their fine motor skills and have a little bit of independence while they do things.” Walton added the kids get to run around, have a good time, think a bit, and “They have to put some muscle into it, put some effort in, and then it’s a lot more rewarding when they actually complete what we have them do.”

Youth Bureau library activities this summer started with tents and gear set up for a camping exploration adventure themed week, and included an obstacle course, pool day water games, making bookmarks and mini books to decorate and color in, Shrinky Dinks, and Walton said Perler Beads were a big hit! 

While Fun Fridays with the Schoharie County Youth Bureau are now done for this summer, 10 AM Storytime with Miss Yvonne continues each Friday, and free lunches sponsored by the Joshua Project at Schoharie Library will be available for two more weeks (until August 15th) each Tuesday and Friday from noon - 1 PM.

If you haven’t signed up for the Summer Reading Program yet, there is still time. In fact, Miss Yvonne helped a patron sign up during the August 1st event. You simply track the days you read and attend library events on the sheet you get you when you sign up. Then, remember to bring your sheet with you each time you visit Schoharie Library to receive fun fidget/squish-toy or Stewart’s ice cream coupon prizes, and enter tickets for grand prize drawing opportunities. Schoharie Library is located at 103 Knower Ave. and more of their exciting upcoming events can be found on their website and Facebook page, including their recently posted September 6th Book Sale & Trustee Treasures Porch Sale from 9 AM -  3 PM.

The Schoharie County Youth Bureau will be in Cobleskill for the whole week of The Sunshine Fair. Walton confirmed you will be able to stop by their booth for information about their programming, what to expect next summer, where they get their funding, and how they use that funding to benefit the community. Walton added, “We are also going to be helping out with the livestock shows. So, we do announcing, we help with all the agriculture, and everything they might need in regard to that.”

M'burgh OKs Speed Sign, May Add Another

By David Avitabile

MIDDLEBURGH - Middleburgh village officials agreed to put up one solar speed sign - and may add another, in exchange for the removal of a sign that uses a particular word.

After getting a request to place a speed sign on Clauverwie Road last month, the village got two bids. The bids for a solar sign were $2,981.30 from Traffic Logix and $3,697 from Kustom Signals. Board members Monday agreed to get one solar speed sign for Clauverwie.

Village officials also discussed the sign recently put up on River Street. Going out of the village, the sign reads, "SLOW THE F*** Down!!! Toddlers at Play, Please!" Only the asterisks are not on the sign, and the word is spelled out.

Trustee Bob Tinker was the most outspoken about the sign.

"It's just vulgar," he said. Trustee Sheryl Adams said, "It's not welcoming" and added, "It makes the village look bad." 

"It wouldn't hurt" to have more radar signs in the village, Trustee Tinker said. It was suggested that a radar sign be put on River Street in exchange for permanent removal of the offending sign.

Mayor Tim Knight said he reached out to the Sheriff's Office about speed control in the village.
