  • Feelings about daylight saving time might change by 2029

    Karl Terry, Local columnist|Updated Nov 6, 2021

    I really do care about my readers. Therefore I try to avoid continually repeating a topic. You don’t like reading the same thing over and over and it makes me look a little senile. So, when I came up with the idea of griping about the time change like a grumpy old fart I stopped myself and went back to my files to make sure I didn’t use that topic this same time last year. Amazing, the first topic search was from a column 14 years ago. Then a refinement of the search yie...

    Dave Wagner, Staff writer|Updated Nov 6, 2021

    MELROSE - After what qualifies as a grinder by 8-man standards during the first half, Melrose and Fort Sumner turned Friday's state semifinal matchup into a shootout after the intermission. Specifically, sophomore running back Dathan Yeary did that. Leading just 8-0 late in the first half and 16-8 at halftime, Yeary broke loose for four touchdowns - three rushing and one receiving - and 169 yards of total offense the rest of the way as the second-seeded Buffaloes posted a...
