GOD’S GLORY IN TOTALITY – KT&FP Staff Writer Twila Adams (bottom right) ventured to Raymond Gary State Park in Fort Towson last Monday along with her daughters Jami (bottom left) and Cassidy (top) to take in the historic total solar eclipse. The spot in Choctaw County was part of a small sliver of Oklahoma expected to be a part of the “path of totality. “I wasn’t sure if the total solar eclipse would measure up to all the hype, but it was definitely worth the trip,” Adams said. “Once the slightest sliver of the sun disappeared behind the moon from 99 to 100 percent made all the difference.” The crowd that gathered shared the experience. “Everyone was watching and waiting, then there were cheers all around at the spectacular sight of totality. It was unbelievable to see how powerful the sun is, with only a tiny sliver emitting so much light on the earth,” Adams said. “When it was obscured, it was dark enough to see stars in the sky.” Like Adams said before, she was glad she made the trip. “I’m thankful I had the opportunity to witness one of the many works of God’s creation, reflecting His awesome power and glory.”

NCAA to destroy college sports?

California’s $20/hour minimum wage for fast food workers went into effect this month, and the early results are negative. Companies affected by the law are laying off workers, putting off needed capital improvements and raising prices. Some are closing their doors altogether or opening new restaurants only in other states. Keep in mind that these companies have already been dealing with post-COVIDlockdown business losses, homelessness, crime, retail theft and loss of customers as people move out of the state’s largest and most populous cities.
