TIDBITS® MARVELS AT
MIRACLES AT SEAby Janet Spencer
We can’t always offer logical explanations for extraordinary things that happen on land or sea. Consider the follow true incidents:• In 1958, Chief Officer Francis Schremp was
on the freighter S.S. John Lykes off the coast of Bermuda when he was washed overboard by a huge wave. The next wave deposited him back on the deck.
• The same thing happened to John Craig of Scotland in 1956. When he was placed back on board, he called out to the skipper who was out in a lifeboat looking for him.
• In 1908, James Wilkinson was on the U.S.S. Minnesota, which was being followed by the battleship U.S.S. Vermont. In heavy seas during a typhoon, Wilkinson was swept off the ship by a huge wave. Tossed about in the ocean, he struggled to get back to his boat. Then a huge wave hurled him upwards and he felt something solid and smooth below him. Hands were gripping him and pulling him from the water. The waves that swept him from the Minnesota had deposited him on the Vermont.
• During World War II, the U.S.S. Uruguay was carrying 5,000 soldiers to Europe. Sergeant Cecil Davis was seasick, so he reported to sickbay and was installed in a bunk. A sudden storm arose, tossing the ship.

MIRACLES AT SEA (continued):Suddenly there was a huge crash. Davis felt
himself rising into the air, then blacked out. When he awoke, he was lying on the deck of the ship. He didn’t understand why there was a board laying over him, or why he was bleeding. Standing up, he asked a passing sailor to take him to sickbay. There, a doctor started cleaning up his cuts— then noticed his dog tags. “What are you doing on this ship?” he asked Davis. “I came aboard the Uruguay with a lot of other GI’s.” “You’re not on the Uruguay,” replied he doctor in amazement. “You’re on the Sallimonia, a navy tanker. There are no soldiers on board.” Gradually the confusion was cleared: In the storm, the Uruguay was rammed by the Sallimonia, crashing into her side. Thirteen men were killed, and Davis was thrown from his bunk, falling through the ruptured floor of sick bay. He landed on the deck of the Sallimonia, changing ships while unconscious in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
COSMIC CURRENTS• During World War II, Marine Sergeant
Wallace C. Stich shipped a wooden box to his wife in Fairmont, North Carolina from his post in the southwestern Pacific. In the box were letters and trinkets. The ship carrying the box to the U.S. was sunk. The box was carried on the currents for several months. On March 6, 1946, it was found — on the coast of North Carolina, less than 100 miles from Fairmont. When Sergeant Wallace C. Stich arrived home a few weeks later, the box was waiting for him there.
• Charles Coghlan was born on Prince Edward Island in 1841. He became a successful stage actor and toured the world, but Prince Edward Isle was always his home. In 1899, during an appearance on Galveston Island, Texas, he became ill and died.
!COSMIC CURRENTS (continued):Coghlan was buried in a Galveston cemetery. On
September 8, 1900, a hurricane struck Galveston, flooding the town, killing 6,000, and swamping the cemeteries. Many coffins floated into the Gulf of Mexico. The coffin of Charles Coghlan was caught by the current. Seven years later, a fishermen from Prince Edward Island noticed a box in the water. He towed it to shore, chipped off the barnacles, and discovered the body of Charles Coghlan. He had floated to shore only a few miles from his birthplace. He was re-buried on his native soil with honor.
A TRUE STORY• The Mermaid sailed from Sydney, Australia in
October of 1829, heading for the other side of the continent. On the fourth day, a heavy storm struck. The ship was driven relentlessly into a reef that smashed her bottom. The captain shouted to abandon ship, and all aboard jumped into the water and began swimming towards a large rock 200 feet away. Everyone made it there safely, where they awaited rescue.
• The Swiftsure rescued them all on the third day and continued her course to New Guinea. Five days later, the Swiftsure was caught in a strong current and swept into the rocks. It broke up and the order to abandon ship was again given. All on board were saved and they were picked up later the same day by the schooner Governor Ready.
• Three hours later the Governor Ready caught fire, forcing all on board to abandon ship once again. Everyone crowded into the lifeboats— and then along came the cutter Comet, which had been blown off course by a storm. The crew of the Comet loaded the crews and passengers of all three vessels on board, regarding them with suspicion. Obviously, one of them was cursed.
• Five days later a storm snapped the Comet’s mast, ripped her sails, and ruined her rudder. Once again, it was “Abandon ship!” The crew of the Comet loaded into the longboat and all the rest were left to cling to floating bits of wreckage. About 18 hours later, the packet Jupiter came along and collected every person. When they were all assembled on deck, it was found that not a single life had been lost. But two days later the Jupiter hit a reef and sank. Fortunately, the ship City of Leeds was nearby and picked them all up, delivering them to Sydney, where the odyssey had begun. Five ships had been wrecked, but not a single life was lost.
• The coincidence continues. An elderly woman named Sarah Richley was on board the City of Leeds. She had become very ill. The ship’s physician could do nothing to save her. She had been bound for Australia from England to search for her lost son, Peter. She explained to other passengers that he had left home 15 years earlier to join the Navy. He had been stationed in Australia, and she had never heard of him since. In her illness, she called constantly for him. The doctor knew that her son had blue eyes and brown hair, so he searched the ship for a man of the appropriate age who had an English accent,

BETRAYAL by LANGUAGE• During World War II, U.S. draft-
dodgers escaped to Canada and Canadian draft-dodgers escaped to the U.S. Authorities hired to track them down had trouble telling Canadians from Americans. But there was one small difference. In America, children are taught the alphabet with the final letter Z pronounced ‘zee’; but Canadians learn it as ‘zed’. When suspected draft dodgers were asked to
recite the alphabet, the last letter would clearly tell their nationality. The same technique was used to identify draft dodgers during the Viet Nam war.
• In the 1200s the French occupied the island of Sicily. Their controversial governing methods caused the Sicilians to revolt many years later, and the French were massacred. However, many of the French had learned the local Italian language well enough that it was
hard to tell them from the natives just from their accents. The Sicilians asked all questionable people to pronounce “cicero ceci”, which means ‘chickpeas from cicero’. In Italian, the phrase is prounounced with four “ch” sounds in rapid succession. However, in the French language, the “ch” sound had been replaced by the “sh” sound. If it was said as “cheechero chechee” the person walked away, but those that said “sheeshero sheshee” were imprisoned.
• When MacArthur was in the Philippines during World War II, Japanese spies would pose as Chinese or Filipino citizens in order to penetrate the defenses. Suspected spies would be asked to pronounce the word ‘hula-hula’. Chinese and Filipinos have no trouble pronouncing the ‘l’, but Japanese do not have the ‘l’ sound in their language and would therefore pronounce it ‘hura-hura’, thereby betraying their nationality.

rickyreviews~The Kush Organics~
Dyllen Le Maitre is the owner/manager of this unique local hemp shop. The Kush Organics, some people may ask, what is that?
Well, let me tell you...What separates a hemp shop from ahead shop or smoke shop is a plant known as hemp. They carry an extensive line of cosmetics and many other very interesting items. Dyllen devotes much of his store inventory to carrying many clothes items and strongly supports the fact that Canadians need to tap into this wonderful resource.
Most people understand that hemp is directly related to marijuana, which in fact is true. “Whether you like to smoke it or wear it, he quotes, I can tell you hemp is a plant more people should know about. This misunderstood plant is a far more sustainable material industrially then cotton, denim, petroleum and much more”
Hemp could replace about 95% of consumer items from tires, plastics, clothing and more. Beyond that, many are all hearing in the media that marijuana seems to be a very helpful medicine helping people suffering from pain, depression, anxiety and even in many cases cancer.Unfortunately due to the laws that stand in the way, hemp is actually one of the most expensive materials because it is illegal to grow and farm in Canada, except to harvest the seeds for it’s beneficial oils.
Dyllen has owned and managed this business for almost 5 years now, and welcomes you to come down and share his dream. Whether you are a regular or a first time customer, he guarantees great customer service as well as a friendly and helpful environment. Anyone suffering from severe pain that question the healthiest way to consume hemp products, he urges you to please come down and chat.
They also carry much literature on hemp and its history as well as the current state of regulation. “If nothing else, Dyllen states, I strongly suggests you visit and sign our Sensible BC campaign, which is the provincial push for decriminalization of marijuana in BC. This will not only help save tax dollars but more importantly add much revenue for BC. Furthermore, it would save much time and energy for our local RCMP so as they can focus on fighting much more important issues”

Walking Through VernonBy Marty kelly
As I mentioned last week I have been to see Bea Jackson for a free hearing test at NexGen Hearing located at 201-5100 Anderson Way . Bea is a registered Hearing Instrument Practitioner and a really nice lady! After greeting me she invited me into this side room where I was asked to enter what looked like a recording booth. She explained all along what she was going to do so that I would feel comfortable. I then donned some headphones and she explained she was going to say some words to me, first in one ear then the other and I would simply repeat to her just what I had heard.Then Bea went on to introduce different pitches or sounds and asked me to let her know when I received them. We where done, just like that. She had an immediate reading graph of my results and went over them with me.We then talked about options for solutions and she was incredibly patient and polite. I recommend whether you are twenty or 70 years old you should have your hearing checked. Hearing instruments are not just beneficial to the elders but to the young as well.
Til Next Week ......................... Love you Vernon

Bringing Up Father (also know as Jiggs & Maggie, after the two main characters) is a comic about an Irishman named Jiggs, a labourer who wins a million dollars from a sweepstakes. The newly rich Jiggs still longs to revert back to his working class habits and lifestyle, while his wife and daughter desperately want to climb the social ladder and live a life of style and sophistication. Nearly every strip exhibits their frustrated efforts to try and bring Jiggs up to their level of class, hence the title Bringing Up Father. Enjoy this hilarious comic every week, as the newest edition to Tidbits the neatest little paper ever read!
Hagar the Horrible is a shaggy, scruffy, overweight red-bearded viking. He regularly raids England and sometimes France. He is known as the world’s mildest marauder. He talks tough, but he’s really a big hairy kid at heart. Helga, his long suffering better half (wife) is stoic, resourceful, intelligent, and loving - the real brains behind the man. Their son Hamlet is a neat, studious bookworm, the opposite of what his father thinks he should be. And their daughter Honi - 16 years old - is torn between becoming a Valkyrie and finding a husband. There is never a dull moment with the Hagar family! Enjoy this hilarious comic every week, as the newest edition to Tidbits the neatest little paper ever read!
Q: Our Maltese mix is a wonderful, friendly and happy dog. She loves our two children and their friends. But there is a problem. The trouble began when we purchased one of those floor-to-ceiling-sized TVs with surround sound. Our family room is now more like a movie theater. Sometimes, Molly will bark at TV shows, especially if animals are featured. But what really gets her mad are the Muppets, “Sesame Street,” or any show with puppets. She barks and charges the TV while growling. I’m actually afraid she’ll throw herself at the TV. I know you’ll suggest not watching the Muppets or “Sesame Street,” but our kids love those shows. What should we do? - C.F., Wilmette, IL
A: Molly is clearly a fan of Mitt Romney, apparently wanting to see PBS go away. I can’t honestly explain why puppets or Muppets elicit an angry response. It is true that such characters look and sound unusual. When these shows are on, try to keep Molly preoccupied. If she’s busy attempting to lick (low-fat, low-salt) peanut butter from a Kong toy or sterilized bone, she won’t be paying attention to your choice in TV programming. If all else fails, keep Molly out of the room when you watch her un-favorite programs.

True Story Cont’dblue eyes, and blond hair. He explained to the
man that all he had to do was pretend to be the son of a dying and delirious old lady. “She’s from Yorksire, England, and her name is Sarah Richley—” He stopped in mid-sentence, noticing the look of astonishment on the man’s face. “I AM Peter Richley!” he exclaimed.
• Mother and son were reunited. Nothing heals like happiness, and Sarah Richley recovered. Peter Richley built a house for her in Sydney and she lived there for the next 20 years.
What do You Value In Life?
An old saying goes, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Jesus taught this and many of the wisest people among us – our seniors – would agree with the truth of this simple saying as well. The word “treasure” simply refers to anything that one values. Usually, it specifically refers to material things but could refer to intangibles as well. What do you really live for? What really excites you? Sometimes what really excites a person is positive; sometimes it’s negative. Try taking some time this week to think about what REALLY matters to you - perhaps even make a list. Then make a second list of activities and objects that normally consume your time and money each week. Take the two lists and compare them - how closely do they match? If you say that what you most value (your treasure) is relationships with spouse, family, friends, and/or God, then it would make sense that you would have a significant investment of time and money into developing and nurturing those relationships. If your most valued priority is a business venture, it would make sense that the majority of your time and resources would be
invested there. But what often happens (in spite of our good intentions) is that our lifestyle and priorities become out-of-sync with what we say we really value. Often, we are the last to realize this inconsistency with others seeing it long before we do. It is possible to avoid this and make the most of our precious time and resources - do a Heart-Check. Compare lists and make sure that our lifestyle (how we spend our time and money) is consistent with what we value most. If it’s not, try sharing your
list with a trusted friend or someone who can encourage you and keep
you accountable, etc. We all get side-lined sometimes.
But the good news is that we can always try again, we can do a mid-
course correction, we can get back to focusing on
those things that truly matter in our hearts. Perhaps a little deeper
and more reflective than normal, but that’s this week’s Tip of the Week.
