DUSK AT 10 A.M.: The big eclipse did not fail to astonish most people who took to viewing stations to gaze at the
diminishing sun through protective glasses. On Highway 97 (top) one observer counted 487 cars headed north-
bound in one short stretch, About a hundred people gathered at the Goldendaie Observatory (second from top) for
the big day. Elsewhere people put on their glasses or just pulled into a field to take a look, as did Dan and Shirley
Jagelsky of Goldendale (middle dght). President Trump gazed upward at the eclipse without protection eyewear; an
aide shouted, =Don't Iookl" The eclipse was carded live on television around the country. In downtown Goldendale,
there was an eerie quiet, with few cars and people in the street looking upward. =It's so amazing," one onlooker from
out of town said. =You see the moon slowly creeping across the sun. These things are so far, but look at what they're
doingl" Light ebbed slowly as the moon's transit completed, bdnging the street to a dusk-light dimness.

ing to light her on' fire.
Goldendale police chief
Reggie Bartkowski made
the announcement at a
meeting of the Golden-
dale City Council Monday
night.
He told the council that
the incident took place
about 3:30 Friday morn-
ing when Officer Kelsey
Shelton responded to a
domestic violence situa-
tion in progress. She was
able to take the suspect,
Ryan Mayer, into custo-
dy and transport him to
the Klickitat County Jail,
where he was booked
on attempted murder
charges.
Bartkowski described
Mayer as "around 30
years old" and declined
to offer any more infor-
mation about the case. He
did note the rest of the
weekend was quiet for
law enforcement, with
no calls in regard to the
Festival of Wheels, the
eclipse party staged by

The 2017 solar eclipse
has come and gone, and
hundreds of people
flocked to the Goldendale
Observatory to take in the
once-in-a-lifetime event.
The observatory was
open bright and early on
Aug. 21, the day of the
eclipse, and later descend-
ed into an eerie and chilly
darkness at 10:22 a.m. lat-
er that morning, when
97.4 percent of the sun
was blocked by Earth's
moon. The temperature
notably dropped several
degrees from when the
eclipse began at 9:09 a.m.
to when it reached max-
imum coverage at 10:22
a.m. Goldendale Obser-
vatory director Troy Car-
penter said that's due in
part to the moon blocking
infrared radiation from
the sun.
The eclipse began with
the moon blocking the
upper-right portion of
the sun, before eventually
covering up all but a tiny
sliver of the Solar Sys-
tem's star. As maximum
coverage neared, Car-
penter told the the crowd
that while he wasn't ex-
pecting the stars to come
out, there was a chance
that they'd be able to see
