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. ne esca on BRANDON CLINE dale fire crew in the dead shots at a gas station, of the Goldendale Mid- REPORTER of night onAug. 15.Munter and Petrovskiy dle School playground, Tyray Munter, the sec- were still together later along with other fire (Note: The Sentinel ond fugitive, was appre- in the day on Aug. 15, personnel.

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 Goldendale Chamber and the city Sunday night, or the eclipse itself Mon- day. Three council mem- bers were absent from the Monday night meet- ing. Two were on vacation and one recovering from a medical procedure. The remaining four dealt with mainly routine business. Under the council business heading, they approved a revised inter- local agreement for res- cue services between the city's fire departmant and Rural 7, a small change See City page 11 BRANDON CLINE REPORTER 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 See Park page 11
