GOLDENDALE, WASHINGTON
The Sentinel gets regular information from the office of the Pres-
ident of the United States in the form of emails directly from the
White House. Often it's the schedule of the president or vice presi-
dent, which is actually kind of interesting. Sometimes.
For example, here's what was going on for the top two elected of-
fices in the land on June 20:
10:30 a.m.: Vice President Pence participates in a bilateral meet-
ing with President Petro Poroshenko of Ukraine. (Now you're ready
when someone says, "I'll bet you don't know who the president of
Ukraine is.")
11 a.m.: President Trump meets with National Security Advisor
H.R. McMaster with a drop-in by Vice President Mike Pence and
President Petro Poroshenko of Ukraine. ("Drop-in"? Isn't it counter-
intuitive to schedule a drop-in?)
11:45 a.m.: Vice President Pence delivers remarks at the National
Association of Manufacturers (NAM) 2017
Manufacturing Summit. (Whew. For a
minute there, I was afraid they weren't
going to have a speaker.) /ou Mar'ze[es,
12:30 p.m.: President Trump has a Legisla-
tive Affairs lunch. (Is that a theme lunch? Do
you get Legislative potato chips?)
12:45 p.m.: Vice President Pence partici-
pates in the Senate Republican Policy
Lunch. (So is that a lunch that has a Senate Republican policy?
Lunches have so much power in Washington. Mine just kind of sits
there and pouts.)
2 p.m.: Vice President Pence participates in a series of meetings
with lawmakers. (Ah, good. It's about time.)
7 p.m.: President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump have din-
ner with Vice President Pence and Mrs. Karen Pence. (I'm sure
we're all pleased to know about their evening plans.)
But it's not all nose-to-the-grind-
stone business at the White House.
Take a look at the bunny picture here.
It came straight from the White House
on May 10, with this message: "Yester-
day, the Second Family's pet rabbit,
Marlon Bundo, also known as BOTUS,
visited the White House for the first
time. (Official White House photo by
Hannah MacInnis)." Interestingly,
Marlon's litter box is filled with shred-
ded transcripts of James Comey's tes-
timony to Congress.)
To be serious for a moment if I may
(I don't know; we'll see), it really is a
service to receive information from the White House. Better too
much information than not enough, and if some of it is a bit unex-
pected, that's okay. And who's going to have a problem with bun-
nies? Well, Jimmy Carter did once, when he was attacked by a rab-
bit.while in a canoe--Carter, not the rabbit. True story. It's even on
the internet. It was called the "killer rabbit" attack. I am not mak-
ing this up.
President Trump's White House missives frequently stray from
straight facts--who would have guessed? They often contain subtle
reminders of what a great job he's doing, such as this one on April
25: "In his first 100 days, President Donald J. Trump has taken bold
action to restore prosperity, keep Americans safe and secure, and
hold government accountable. At an historic pace, this President
has enacted more legislation and signed more executive orders than
any other president in over a half century." Not sure how a presi-
dent enacts legislation. Maybe over a theme lunch.

So that's what a
community is
This afternoon my son, his wife,
and two of my grandchildren (one
only week old) broke down in your
town. Of course, the parts store
had closed, and we live several
hours away.
My son pulled into a driveway
and was offered assistance by the
resident. He was evidently related
to a town mechanic, who in turn
knew the parts store owner, who in
turn was willing to take the time
on this very hot day to sell my son
(also a mechanic) the part he need-
ed to get back on the road.
I know my son thanked every-
one involved; but I too would like to
say thanks. If you can, please let
those involved know they still have
what the word "community"
stands for.

Job well done
I recently read an article by our
local sportswriter, Jaryd Cline, a
GHS graduate. The article was
about Reese Michael, a special edu-
cation sophomore at Goldendale
High School. Reese participated in
track this year, the shotput. Every
place Reese went he gathered a fol-
lowing of admirers. In writing
about Reese, Jaryd came across
with such feeling and excitement,
his words painted pictures I could
visualize. All the while reading the
article, I felt I was right there, see-
ing and joining in the excitement
with everyone else cheering Reese
on that day. The article definitely
left me with a wonderful feeling,
one I will remember for some time.
Jaryd has done a great job of cover-
ing our sports teams, his writing is
interesting, not just facts. We are
very lucky to have such a talent
writing for The Sentinel.

through your responses to the
questions.
While we have learned much

we have also found an open and
caring community. May God bless
