Online news, commentary and discussion for Washington County and beyond
This has absolutely nothing to do with Washington County, but I am totally fascinated with the news stories that broke today about some photos of an uncontacted tribe near the Peru-Brazil border. I guess I figured there were tribes with very little contact with the Western world, but the story said there were still around [...]
Gambino’s opened today in Washington. The new pizza, pasta and sub restaurant has experienced a few delays in getting open, but it had a really good lunch crowd today, despite its unannounced opening. I brought my family there for the pizza buffet and we all enjoyed it. I enjoy all of the restaurants in town, [...]
If you happen to be able to hear the music in downtown Washington right now and wonder why we are listening to Spanish-language jazz, it is because I couldn’t handle listening to the other CD music anymore so I submitted one of my CDs, not realizing it was all in Spanish. The CD is Buena [...]

Just talked to a group of five bicyclers who stopped in front of Mayberry’s. Turns out there just some bikers who are taking a trip from Boulder, Colo., to St. Louis, Mo. Nice folks.Evidently they’re using Highway 36 until they get to Atchison and then they’ll head south for a bit before turning east to [...]
According to the minutes from the May 12 USD 223 school board meeting, Hanover Principal Aaron Birkhofer submitted his resignation. Evidently he took a principal position closer to his wife’s hometown in southern or southeast Kansas.
Bill Pannbacker recently announced he will be running for the GOP nomination to the State School Board. He will be facing off against incumbent Kathy Martin, Clay Center. The district stretches from Atchison to Salina, so this will be no small effort by Pannbacker. More in tomorrow’s News.

This was not an easy story on which to get any details and I’m not saying we learned much at all. We did decide to [...]
