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.

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

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.

• In the Bible in the Book of Judges, the Gileadites are at war with the Ephraimites. The Ephraimites looked the same and spoke the same language, so when the Gileadites had them trapped, it was hard to tell friend from foe. A Gileadite leader had every person pronounce the word for an ear of corn, which was pronounced ‘shibboleth’ by the Gileadites, but ‘sibboleth’ by the Ephraimites. Those who pronounced the word wrong were put to death.

• In the 1800s the Turks and Egyptians were at war. The Egyptians invaded the Turk’s province of Syria, where many Egyptians were captured. The Turks did not want to kill any of their Syrian fellowmen, even if they were wearing the Egyptian uniform. Of course, all of the prisoners claimed to be a Syrian. Both Syrians and Egyptians speak Arabic. This time the password was ‘gamal’ meaning camel. The Syrians say ‘jamal’ and the Egyptians say ‘gamal’. Only those who pronounced it correctly lived.

• In 1851, during Napoleon III’s coup d’etat,

Feb. 26: in 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte escaped from the Island of Elba to begin his second conquest of France. In 1993, a bomb built by Islamic extremists exploded in the parking garage of New York’s World Trade Center, killing six people and injuring more than 1,000.

Feb. 27: in 1922, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the 19th Amendment, which guaranteed the right of women to vote. In 1933, Germany’s parliament building, the Reichstag, was gutted by fire. The Nazis, blaming the communists, used the fire as justification for suspending civil liberties.

Feb. 28: in 1993, a gun battle erupted near Waco, Texas, when U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents tried to serve warrants on the Branch Davidian cult. Four agents and six cult members were killed as a 51-day standoff began.

March 1: in 1932, the infant son of Charles and Anne Lindbergh was kidnapped from their home near Hopewell, N.J. In 1954, Puerto Rican nationalists opened fire from the gallery of the U.S. House of Representatives, wounding five members of Congress.

March 2: in 1836, the Republic of Texas declared its independence from Mexico. In 1877, Republican Rutherford B. Hayes was declared winner of the 1876 presidential election over Democrat Samuel J. Tilden, even though Tilden had won more popular votes.

Answer to last week’s question: This week in 1784, John Wesley chartered the Methodist Church.

This week’s question: On March 4, 1837, who was inaugurated president to succeed Andrew Jackson?

A TRUE STORY (continued):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, blue 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.

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.

eight tips to improve sleep habits and get better grades

(NC)—Dr. Whitehead of Oxford Learning Centres, Inc. offers these tips to help ensure that students are getting the right amount sleep every night and are maximizing their learning.

One of the biggest obstacles to a good night’s sleep is the use of technology before bedtime. According to Dr. Whitehead, if there’s one thing that students should avoid, it’s using any technology in the bedroom, especially in the last hour before bed.

He also offers the following alternative to help students wind down before bedtime:

Avoid eating or drinking in the hours before bed

• Exercise during the day

• Dim the lights

• Close the blinds

• Read a book

• Skim over schoolwork

• Do a chore

• Write in a journal

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.

Tip Weekof th

“THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN, PART 2”: This is it for fans of the enormously successful movie franchise based on Stephenie Meyer’s novels, the finale ... and the theatrical box-office take proves that devotees turned out in force for it. Now parents - and both vampires now, too - Bella and Edward (Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson) do their best to protect their fast-growing daughter (Mackenzie Foy) from enemies, resulting in a genuinely epic battle well-staged by director Bill Condon. Taylor Lautner, Ashley Greene, Peter Facinelli, Elizabeth Reaser, Kellan Lutz and Billy Burke are among the other series regulars who all get their swan-song moments here. DVD extras: two “making-of ” documentaries; audio commentary by Condon; music video. ***

“THE MASTER”: Oscar-nominated for all of its key performances, writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson’s compelling and challenging drama casts Joaquin Phoenix as a troubled World War II veteran who falls under the spell of an influential man (the superb Philip Seymour Hoffman, in the sort of acting job it’s hard to imagine anyone else doing) determined to launch a new social movement. The lessons go only so far before the student rebels. Amy Adams plays the self-styled leader’s wife in a cast that also includes Ambyr Childers, Jesse Plemons (“Friday Night Lights”) and Laura Dern. DVD extras: extended and deleted scenes. ***

“CHASING MAVERICKS”: In the same manner as “Soul Surfer” not that long ago, this drama tells the true, earnest story of a young person pitted against nature ... the wet brand of it, more specifically. Jonny Weston plays Jay Moriarity, a surfer determined to conquer one of the biggest waves there is. He seeks guidance from an expert in the sport (Gerard Butler), and their connection ultimately goes much deeper than riding a board. The film was helmed by two top directors, Michael Apted and Curtis Hanson. Co-stars include Elisabeth Shue and Abigail Spencer. ***

“CHICKEN WITH PLUMS”: Featured at several film festivals, this fanciful story of a violinist and his recollections takes unusual forms in the hands of two filmmakers who also displayed their technique in the acclaimed “Persepolis,” Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud. Satrapi’s graphic novel is the source of the tale, in which the musician (Mathieu Amalric, “Quantum of Solace”) mourns the loss of his cherished violin and decides there’s nothing worth continuing to live for. His dreams may indicate differently, though. Isabella Rossellini also appears. DVD extras: audio commentary by, and question-and-answer session with, Satrapi and Paronnaud. ***

“THE CLIENT LIST: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON”: After starring in a TV movie of the same name, Jennifer Love Hewitt retooled the concept a bit and (as both star and producer) came up with a hit Lifetime series. She plays a Texas wife and mother in desperate need of income after her husband leaves her, so she works in a spa where she tries to resist incentives to provide “extra services” to the clientele. Loretta Devine and Cybill Shepherd respectively play the Hewitt character’s boss and mother, with Colin Egglesfield (“Something Borrowed”) as the masseuse’s ex-brother-in-law, who wants to remain in her life. DVD extras: outtakes; deleted scenes. ***

“LIBERACE: THE CANDELABRA COLLECTION”: There’s been a lot of talk lately about the showman whose flamboyant style was backed by true piano mastery, since Michael Douglas plays him in an upcoming HBO movie. It’s the real deal who’s on view here, though, with two holiday television specials included in the menu of offerings that prove why the knowingly flashy Liberace was such a star attraction throughout his career. ***

BETRAYAL (continued): an aide reported to Count de St. Arnaud that a mob had gathered

outside. The Count, who had been troubled with a cold, replied, “Ma sacrée toux!” meaning, “my damned cough!” The aide thought he said, “Massacrez tous”, which means “massacre all”. The phrases sound identical in French. The order to fire was given and hundreds lost their lives.

• In World War II, when Truman, Churchill and Stalin called for the Japanese to surrender, they responded with the word “mokusatsu” which meant they were reserving comment: “We’re thinking it over.” However, an inaccurate translator thought that ‘’mokusatsu’’ meant they were ignoring it. On July 28, the Allies decided to drop the bomb on Hiroshima as a result.
