A team known for its toughness and ability to hang with the big dogs had an uncharacteristically poor performance in its return to Greeley.

Berthoud was no match for Fort Morgan wrestling. Not even close.

The Spartans’ only other points came from a win in the 113-lb. weight class. Aside from that, the Mustang […]

What practical garden tasks need to be done in fall? Well, here is one that does not have to be done: raking leaves. Use your mower to break up the leaves and feed the soil and give nutrients to the grass. If you like a nice green spring lawn, then do a fall winter fertilization for the grass to feed the roots and develop a healthy root system. In the spring, the lawn will green up sooner. Continue to water your lawn especially as this has been a dry fall. Watering your trees before the ground freezes will help them […]
