Doing her part to tidy up Fountain Square during Amenia’s Earth Day clean-up event on Saturday, April 27, was Holiday Eckstrom, who recently turned 8, and was particularly adept at weed pulling. A similar Earth Day effort was based in the Wassaic Village center. Volunteers received bright orange trash bags for roadside litter pick-up throughout the town.

The Bombers racked up an early lead in the first two innings, scoring four runs in the top of the first and a fifth in the top of the second before the Warriors managed to score two runs in the bottom of the second.
Webutuck defenders held back the Bombers in the third inning and scored another run, bringing the score to a manageable 5-3 Pine Plains lead going into the fourth inning.
Then the Bombers let it rip. Six more runs in the fourth inning brought the score to 11-4 Pine Plains going into the fifth.
Webutuck managed to score another three runs before the end of the game, but the Bombers nearly matched with two more of their own for a finishing score of 13-7.
