ECLIPSE TRIVIA
• In American humorist Mark Twain’s novel “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court,” Hank, a young engineer, is somehow transported back to the time of King Arthur. As he is about to be burned at the stake for failing to prevent Arthur’s death, Hank remembers a solar eclipse is about to begin. He exploits the people’s ignorance of the phenomenon, tells them he will turn the sun dark and destroy the Earth unless his life is spared. And that is exactly what happens when the sun is blacked out by the moon’s shadow, and Hank convinces the people he will make it come back. A film based on the book was released in 1949 with Bing Crosby as Hank. • The reason a total eclipse appears so perfect is that the sun is 400 times larger than the moon but also 400 times farther away from Earth — thus, a nearly perfect fit. • A total eclipse occurs only once every 360 years at any particular place on Earth — BUT, it may be true that the exception makes the rule. South Carolina — all of North America, in fact — experienced a total solar eclipse on March 7, 1970. • The moon shadow’s speed as it moves across the Earth is about 1,050 miles per hour. One suspects that Cat Stevens, whose song “(I’m Being Followed by a) Moon Shadow,” was not able to outrun it. • During the eclipse, as it grows darker, wildlife is likely to come out as it does at night. Pets, such as dogs and cats, may become confused, thinking it’s time to sleep — or be fed. Or they may show no unusual behavior at all. Experts: Some clouds Monday • During totality, we should be able to see the planets Mars, Mercury, Venus and tween 60 to 70 percent at eclipse time, Rohrbach said a front will be some- Jupiter.

And if my neighbor saw me sitting on the grass in my yard try- ing to perch the glasses on my dog’s huge schnoz, he probably rolled his eyes in my direction.

DALZELL — As with most opening week games, Crest- wood High School head foot- ball coach Roosevelt Nelson saw a lot of things he liked and a lot of things he didn’t like in Friday’s contest against Lower Richland at Donald L. Crolley Memorial Stadium. What he liked the most was the final score — a 25-22 victo- ry by the Knights highlighted by a couple of big special teams plays that turned the tide in Crestwood’s favor. CHS is now 1-0 on the year and will face county rival Sumter, also 1-0, next week in Dalzell at 7:30 p.m. “We got the win and that was the No. 1 goal for the opener,” Nelson said. “But we made it hard on ourselves. Too many penalties. I bet we left 21 points on the board with red zone penalties backing us up. “But from a special teams standpoint they obviously made some very big plays for us.” And every one of them helped lead to an eventual score. With the Knights nurs- ing a 7-0 lead in the third quar- ter, the first big one came when LRHS punter Karl Scott couldn’t handle a snap. He was tackled at the 1-yard line and Maleeke Bradley punched it in from there to put Crestwood up 13-0. It was 13-6 when a pair of huge special teams plays re- sulted in another touchdown. Javarius Bradley connected on a 58-yard punt that rolled to the LR 7 and flipped the field for the Knights.

witnessed it, you might describe it as a frenzy or a mania of poor PETE THE PLANNER spending decisions. CBD can ar- rive alone into a person’s life, but it often presents itself alongside other mood and anxiety disor- ders, making it difficult to treat. It’s a chronic condition that can ruin the financial life of both the person directly suffering from it and the person’s family. Like many other mental health conditions, CBD is often stigma- tized and trivialized. You see peo- ple every day celebrating their status as a “shopaholic” with a sense of playfulness. But there’s really nothing fun about it. To make matters worse, the advent of online shopping and easy access to credit, paired with predatory lending, have stoked the fires of spending addiction.
