WASHINGTON – Brad and Donna Portenier requested the land in the industrial park that sits between several properties they own for their Bradford Built business at the park. The Porteniers made the request at the Feb. 3 Washington City Council meeting. The lot in which he is interested sits north of the old blue building, which was a paint shaker repair business years ago. He has the land around the blue building, but would like the lot north of that which stretches to the northern industrial park road, which is owned by the city.

ULTIMATE GOAL IN BOWLING

Washington Bowl owner John Metz completed the ultimate challenge in bowling on Tuesday night in Washington. Metz bowled a perfect 300 game in Tuesday Night Mixed League play, the first time in his long bowling career that he has accomplished the rare task. A perfect 300 score is tallied when a bowler hits 12 strikes in a row during a game. Metz said he hit his first five strikes rock solid during that stretch. He said strikes seven through nine started to float out a little wider and wider and one was a little less sure, but his 10th was solid and he finished strong.

Kansas Day at the buffalo ranch

Submitted by Edgar on Wed, 02/05/2014 - 12:19pm
Without external stimulation, most secondgraders have the attention span of about three minutes. It was well past that window at the LCL Buffalo Ranch near Clifton last week and the Clifton-Clyde second graders were in full restless mode. Teachers hustled to maintain control as their students jostled, wrestled, bopped their neighbors on the head or wandered
aimlessly around the museum, their efforts more or less successful though it was clearly a losing  proposition. About the time the situation threatened to spiral out of control, the door flew open and a breathless Casey Amerin leaped into the
room. Formerly restless students froze in place with eyes big as saucers.
