“In every day life, dozens of people pass in and out of our range of vision, their faces set with determination to get where they’re going and do what they need to. But the attitude people convey in public rarely reveal what’s beneath the surface. In his series titled 100 Strangers, photographer Anthony Bellemare digs deeper, transforming brief encounters with passer-by into intimate and enduring portraits.”

A-B Tech’s Culinary Team won a silver medal and third place nationwide in the American Culinary Federation Student Team Championship July 14 in Orlando.

A team from A-B Tech has made it to nationals for three of the past four years after winning first place in state and regional competition. This year’s team faced student chefs from the Pennsylvania Culinary Institute, Pittsburgh Chapter; Schoolcraft College in Livonia, Mich., and Kapi’olani Community College, Honolulu, Hawaii.

The competition requires student teams to prepare 24 plates of a four-course signature meal, while also being judged on their floor skills. Medals are awarded based on the number of points teams earn from a possible 40, with A-B Tech finishing with 33.75. A score of 34 was needed to receive gold.

“The competition was tough. (Our team) did a fantastic job. As always, we all learn a great deal from these experiences, and had a great time,” said Chef Charles deVries, one of the coaches.

Burnsville, North Carolina

Surrounded by the Blue Ridge mountains of North Carolina in the midst of corn fields is a tiny strip of land the locals use to race their homemade modified trucks. There lies a 200 ft mud track built for all out speed. This is a place where trucks race against the clock in a controlled explosions of power – revving there engines to ear bleeding decibels as mud showers the crowd in the wake of their fury. Anything goes and anything does. So strap in the kids, put on a helmet and head down to the track.
