4 --June 28, 2017 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. WHATA WAY TO SPEND 4THOFJULY- NOT EVEN A NIBBLE! ,3>' MAYBE FISH HAVE HOLIDAYS, THE MMUNITY 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. Dave Redding SEt. (Ret.) Pierce County Sheriff's Department 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.
