Softball coach balances team with pregnancy

By MICHAEL KELLY
For the C-S-E

FORT PLAIN — Roughly 32 weeks into carrying her first child, Katie McCumber is far from bed-ridden.
However, it is probably for the best if she stays confined to her team’s softball dugout while she finishes out the season coaching her Fort Plain Lady Hilltoppers.
The 27-year-old McCumber has not missed a game while coaching with her ever-expanding midsection this season, a campaign in which her team is having its best season during her four-year tenur ...

Mayfield stops Fort Plain in high school softball tilt

By MICHAEL KELLY
For the C-S-E

MAYFIELD — A couple of days after making five errors in a lopsided loss, the Mayfield Lady Panthers softball team responded in a big way last Thursday afternoon, May 3, against the Fort Plain Lady Hilltoppers.
Behind starting pitcher Anna Husain, Mayfield’s defense had a perfect day in the field, making several standout plays in support of the left-handed hurler in her complete-game shutout. Husain and the Lady Panthers bested the Lady Hilltoppers, 3-0 ...

Fort Plain stages rally to blank Northville

By MICHAEL KELLY
For the C-S-E

FORT PLAIN — Slow starts are becoming the norm for the Fort Plain Lady Hilltoppers.
“We seem to kind of be getting ourselves in this hole here, (where) we are waiting until the third, fourth or fifth inning to create runs,” Fort Plain head coach Katie McCumber said.
Last Thursday, against Northville Falcons pitcher Allison Wadsworth, the Lady Hilltoppers awoke with a start in the third inning. Fort Plain scored three runs in the third inning, fou ...

Proud of this place

By JOSHUA THOMAS
C-S-E Editor

I know I talk a lot about this community’s sense of togetherness, but I often just can’t help myself. I have to revel in it, as I’m lucky to be in a position where I’m immersed in it every day, with every event I cover.
It’s nice to live in a place where people have your back.
It upsets me when people throw shade at this area, especially people who were raised here. I understand the need to leave home and explore. I just don’t u ...

Brings me right back

To the editor:
It was with great pleasure I read your wonderful library editorial. It evoked a time and place that I am sure many could relate to.
For years, every Friday night or Saturday morning, I was fortunate enough to be dropped at the Fort Plain Library to happily browse the shelves as my mom did the weekly grocery shopping at the Red and White Store. It was there I rode across the purple sage with Zane Gray and swooned, as only a dramatic 12 year old could do, over ...

Growing together

By JOSHUA THOMAS
C-S-E Editor

Respect and love to all the mothers out there. And not just on Mother’s Day, but every day. I’ve heard people say “every day is mother’s day,” but I never really understood what that meant until I was old enough to realize that my mother isn’t just the person that raised me. She’s undeniably imbedded in every action I take and every word I speak.
My friend just had a baby about one week ago. Watching this as an adult, I was ...

An error in the library story

To the editor:
I read with interest your recent article about the Canajoharie Library’s funding initiative. Unfortunately, there was an error in the report. The library’s $100,000 funding ask amounts to 26 cents per $1,000 of assessed value — not $26 per $1,000 as the report stated.
On Tuesday, June 5, residents of the Canajoharie School District will have the opportunity to provide this needed funding to the library. The average home’s tru ...
