Mayor's Commitment Honored for Schoharie's 300th

In what might be one of the few cases of Middleburgh and Schoharie's 300 years of "rivalry" thawing, the two communities came together for Schoharie's anniversary celebration.

Referring to the two Village's relationship as a "friendly rivalry," Mayor John Borst opened Schoharie's 300th Anniversary celebration with a speech. Recounting the bravery and time of Schoharie's residents and volunteers, Mayor Borst believes that Schoharie is as strong as ever.

Mayor Borst also had a surprise in store. The Mayor cited the commitment of nearby Middleburgh in his speech, and hoped for more cooperation in the time to come. He presented Mayor Avitabile with the key to Schoharie.

"It's an honor," said Mayor Avitabile, "But the thanks has to go to the people of Middleburgh and Schoharie that brought our communities back from Irene."

Police Department Considered

Constabulary officer and Trustee Dr. Thomas Gruning discussed the possibility of a police-sharing deal with the Village of Schoharie in November's regular meeting. Gruning had been talking with the Mayor of Schoharie, John Borst, and explained that police coverage could be a relatively inexpensive and efficient prospect.

Computers Donated to Village

Schoharie Central School District donated three computers and a printer to the Village of Middleburgh this week. Superintendent Brian Sherman of SCS worked with Trustee Matthew Avitabile to donate the computers, which could be used for the Planning or Zoning Boards or donated to the Middleburgh Youth Commission for summer programs.
