TIDBITS® CONSIDERS
COINCIDENCEby Janet Spencer
• In 1977 in Austin, Texas, Vincent Johnson and Frazier Black broke into the home of Mr. & Mrs. David Conner. They stole two TVs and a checkbook. A few hours later, the two men showed up at a local bank with a check made out to themselves for $200. They asked the teller to cash it for them. She asked them to wait a minute, and called security. The check they had tried to cash was her own.
• Ricky Shipman went swimming off a beach in North Carolina in 1972, and lost the wallet out of the pocket of his swimming suit. Eleven years later a man named Gause gutted a mackerel which had been caught by a friend of his off the coast of North Carolina. Inside the fish was Shipman’s drivers license, still intact. Gause returned Shipman’s license.
• In 1914, just before the start of WWI, a German mother took a photo of her baby son. Film plates at that time were sold individually. She dropped the plate off in Strasbourg to be developed, but because the war started, she was never able to retrieve it. Two years later in Frankfurt, she bought another film plate to photograph her new baby daughter. When it was developed, she found it was a double exposure. The picture underneath was that of her small son. Somehow the plate had become mixed in with a pile of undeveloped film.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): First come, first served. St. Patrick’s Day gives you an excuse to drink green beer or hunt for four leaf clovers. Even without a lucky charm, you could be lucky in love or money in the upcoming week.TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Do exactly what you agreed to do and honor meaningful commitments in the week ahead. Being true blue and dependable is the best way to maintain your reputation and pleasant working relationships.GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You won’t need to have the best of everything if you make the best of everything this week. You may get a chance to wear green for St. Patrick’s Day, but aren’t in much danger of becoming green with envy.CANCER (June 21-July 22): Rely on intuition to follow a carefree path. Float along on inspiration, while others struggle along on the hard cold ground. This is a week when you can make your dreams come true if you let go of hang-ups.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In the upcoming week, use the litmus test to see who is true blue and devoted to you. Achieve harmony by presenting a united front and keeping romance alive. You and a partner will be on the same wavelength.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A leprechaun’s pot of gold is within your reach. When you find yourself between a rock and a hard place, the rock may be the Blarney Stone and offer you a way out by using your charismatic appeal.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “When Irish Eyes are Smiling,” you could be swept away by a hot new office romance. In the week to come, you might be the center of attention when praise or promotions are passed around at work.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The grass may be greener on the other side of the fence, but it is also the color to wear today. You can enjoy and share in other people’s success in the upcoming week without discarding your own habitat.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your impishness sometimes appears when you get a chance to improvise. In the week ahead, you will find that your practical jokes and a devil-may-care attitude receive a warm reception.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Get buttered up, buttercup. Someone in the immediate vicinity may seem to have kissed the Blarney Stone and you could receive more than your fair share of flattery. Enjoy praise in the week ahead.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Stick close to hearth and home in the week ahead, giving all your devotion to those you can depend upon and trust. A friend could give you a tip about something worthwhile if you follow through.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Partners can take a trip through paradise. If you have love and affection on your mind, or a job offer on the table, the first part of the week could offer a chance to make some of your dreams come true.

COINCIDENCE (continued):• In 1971, Mrs. Willard Lovell of Berkeley,
California, accidentally locked herself out of the house. She spent 10 minutes trying to find a way in, when the postman arrived with a letter from her brother. He had been staying with her a few weeks earlier, and the letter contained a spare key to the house, which he had borrowed and forgotten to return.
• It was a hot evening in June in El Paso, Texas when patrolman Allen Falby accidentally crashed his motorcycle into a speeding truck. Businessman Alfred Smith witnessed the accident and was the first person on the scene. Falby lay bleeding to death from a severed artery in his leg. Quickly, Smith removed his tie and fashioned an effective tourniquet from it. When the ambulance crew arrived, they credited Smith with saving Falby’s life. Falby eventually recovered, and returned to police work. Five years later, he reported to an accident scene along Highway 80. A car had smashed into a tree, and the driver was bleeding to death from a severed artery in his leg. Falby pulled the man from the car and applied a tourniquet. While trying to make the man more comfortable, he suddenly recognized the victim. It was Alfred Smith, the same man who had saved his own life five years earlier. “One good tourniquet deserves another,” quipped Falby.
• Brenda Rawson became engaged to Christopher Firth in 1961, and he gave her a nice diamond ring. She was heartbroken when she lost the ring while on vacation in Lancashire, England. In 1979 she was talking with her husbands’ cousin, John. They were discussing metal detectors when John mentioned that 18 years earlier, one of his kids had discovered a diamond ring near Lancashire. It was her ring.
• A farmer’s wife in West Germany lost her wedding ring in a potato field. Forty years later, she found it again- inside a potato grown in that field.

COINCIDENCE (continued):• Actor Anthony Hopkins was looking for a book
called The Girl from Petrovka by George Feifer because he was playing a part in a movie being made from the book. He looked all over London for a copy but couldn’t find one. Later he was waiting in a subway station when he noticed someone had left a book behind on a bench. Picking it up, Hopkins found it was The Girl from Petrovka. Two years later Hopkins was filming another movie when he was visited on the set by author George Feifer. Feifer complained that he no longer had even a single copy of his own book because he loaned his final copy to a friend who lost it in London, adding it was particularly annoying because he had written notes in the margins. Hopkins, incredulous, handed Feifer the copy he had found. It was the same book.
• Christina Cort lived in Salvador, Brazil in 1966
ARCTIC EXPLORERSWhen European explorers informed the native Dene Indians of the Northwest Territories that explorer Alexander Mackenzie had “found” the river that now bears his name, the Indians replied that they didn’t know the river had ever been lost.
SHIP OF FOOLS
• MartinFrobisher sailed fromEnglandpast Greenland in the year 1576 in search of the Northwest Passage. He ran into trouble with the native Eskimo and turned for home, taking samples of ore-bearing rocks he found on the shore. In England, a chemist announced it was gold ore. Frobisher mounted a second expedition, feeling that gold was more important than the Northwest Passage. He spent the summer of 1577 on Baffin Island, loading three ships with 200 tons of rock. Back in England, scientists exclaimed over how much gold the rocks bore— so Frobisher headed back again, this time with 15 ships. He
brought home 1,350 tons of ore this time, and smelters in England spent five years trying without success trying to extract gold from it. Only then did they discover the “gold” was actually iron pyrite— fool’s gold. It was worthless.
GHOST SHIP
• On August 11, 1775, a Greenlandwhaling ship called the Herald found itself in a sea full of icebergs in gale force winds. By morning, the weather cleared. Suddenly another ship came into view. As they neared it, the whalers saw that the unknown ship was covered with ice and no humans were on deck. They received no answers to their hails. The captain lowered a longboat and went to investigate, accompanied by eight men. As they approached the derelict ship, they saw that her name was the Octavius. Boarding, they found no sign of life.
• Kicking open the ice-coated door
to go below, they were greeted by a musty odor. The men found a corpse in every bunk. Each was bundled in blankets and perfectly preserved by the cold. In the captain’s cabin, they found the captain’s body slumped forward on a desk, pen in hand. The body of a woman lay in the bunk. In the corner of the cabin was the corpse of a sailor, with a flint in one hand and a piece of steel in the other. A mound of wood shavings was in front of him. Nearby, under a heavy coat, was the body of a small boy. They found no provisions on board. Taking the log book, they returned to their own ship. Unfortunately, the log book was dropped and many pages lost into the ocean. The Octavious drifted off, never to be seen again. The logbook revealed that the doomed ship left England bound for China on September 10, 1761. Good winds and fair weather prevailed, and nothing was amiss. The final page said, “We have now been enclosed in the ice 17 days, and our
approximate position is Longitude 160 W, Latitude 75 N. The fire went out yesterday, and our master has been trying to rekindle it again but without success. He has handed the steel and flint to the mate. The master’s son died this morning and his wife says she no longer feels the terrible cold. The rest of us seem to have no relief from the agony.” The location given in the logbook in the final entry was north of Point Barrow, Alaska. The captain of the Octavius had decided to look for the yet undiscovered Northwest Passage through the Arctic instead of sailing home all the way around South America. The ship, locked in the ice, sailed on even after the demise of the crew— and became the first ship ever to negotiate the elusive Northwest Passage. Her crew for the journey was a captain and crew who had been dead for 13 years. Today the logbook of the Octavius is in the archives of the Registrar of Shipping in London.
▶ Canada has a longer coastline than any other country in the world, at 202,080 km (125,570 miles). That’s equal to 25 times the circumference of the earth.
▶ A beaver will cut down an average of 200 trees per year. Beaver teeth are orange because the enamel on the front of the teeth contains iron, making it tough. The
enamel on the back of the teeth does not contain iron, making it softer. As the beaver chews, the edge of the teeth where the hard part meets the softer part is honed to a chisel point.
▶ On some islands in the Arctic regions the permafrost layer is up to 700 m (3,000 ft) thick.
▶ What’s the biggest bird in Canada? Depends on how you measure. Whooping cranes are tallest at 2 m (6
ft); trumpeter swans are the heaviest, weighing 12 kg (26 lb); and American white pelicans have the biggest wingspan, up to 3 m (ten feet).
▶ In the town of Churchill, Manitoba, there are so many polar bears hanging out in the region during the autumn months that wildlife officials have set up a ‘polar bear jail.’ Nuisance adolescent bears are incarcerated to keep them out of trouble. When Hudson Bay freezes over, the bears are released to go on their way.

Large, heavy vehicles remain popular in Canada
(NC)—Despite fuel costs, emission concerns and conservation awareness, Canadians are increasingly showing a preference for larger and heavier vehicles.
The latest Canadian Vehicle Survey delivers useful information related to on-road transportation activities and fuel consumption across the country.
The survey is made available by Natural Resources Canada online at www.nrcan.gc.ca.
Overall, during the period 2000 to 2009, the number of light duty vehicles registered on the roads grew at an average of 1.9 per cent per year, reaching about 19.8 million vehicles in 2009. The number of vehicles per household increased from 1.43 to 1.47 for the same period.
Between 2000 and 2009, there was also a significant change in the composition of the light vehicle fleet. The share of the ‘light truck’ category (vans, sport utility vehicles [SUVs] and pickup trucks) increased substantially relative to the share of ‘cars.’ Most notably, the number of SUVs almost doubled
and its share of the ‘light vehicle fleet’ increased from 6.9 per cent to 12.8 per cent. Meanwhile, the share of cars decreased from 60.5 per cent to 55.4 per cent.
Vehicle weight and engine power are important factors governing an automobile’s fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. We can all save money and decrease pollution by increasing our awareness of technology options and by selecting vehicles that meet our everyday needs.

10 Immune Boosting Tips
6. Try fresh vegetable juices such as carrot, apple and ginger. These provide a powerhouse of vitamins A and C which are key for nourishing the immune system.
7. Avoid sugar and refined carbohydrates such as white bread, biscuits, cakes, processed cookies as sugar depresses the immune system.
8. Reduce your intake of saturated fats such as red meat, full dairy produce including milk, cheese, ice cream etc. These all also suppress the immune system.
9. Reduce your intake of caffeine and alcohol which deplete the immune boosting nutrients and are a burden on immune function.
10. Avoid all processed foods such as ready meals, luncheon meats and convenience foods as these are full of nutrient robbers.

COINCIDENCE (continued):when an out-of-control truck crashed into
her house. In 1989, she was still living in the same house when once again, an out-of-control truck crashed into it. It was the same truck driver who had barreled into her home 23 years earlier.
• Gosselin Delius of Brussels, Belgium was caught in a storm while sailing a yacht off the coast of England in 1988. His glasses fell overboard. Several weeks later he was reading a newspaper when he saw an article stating that Yan Gazelle of Belgium had caught a 13-pound monkfish, and found a pair of glasses inside it when he gutted it. The glasses, identified by their serial number, belonged to Delius. They were bent but usable.
• Otto Lewis, a lobsterman in Maine, lost his glasses when they fell overboard in the Atlantic. A few days later, a friend who was also a lobsterman returned them to him. He had found them in a lobster trap.

Q: My Shiba Inu seems to have chronically clogged anal glands. I’ve had dogs my entire life, but I’ve never seen so much licking of the butt. I took my dog to the veterinarian for manual extraction but it didn’t help. The veterinarian suggested surgery. What do you think? - S.L., Cyberspace
A: “This is a very common problem,” notes Chicago veterinarian Dr. Sheldon Rubin. What’s likely occurred is that the anal sacs have become impacted. The sacs are supposed to empty with each bowel movement. However, in some individual dogs this doesn’t happen or they don’t fully empty. Eventually, they may become impacted. Sometimes the sacs become infected. “We express (empty) them, and then flush them with antibiotics,” Rubin says. “When there is a chronic problem, we also look at the possible effects of allergies, even the possibility of cancer, particularly in older dogs.” Surgical removal of the anal sacs is not a procedure to be taken likely. One potential complication might leave your dog incontinent. If you do ultimately opt for surgery, Rubin suggests you search for a surgeon with lots of experience at this procedure.
“LES MISERABLES”: If you’ve dreamed a dream of owning the screen version of the legendary stage musical based on Victor Hugo’s classic, the time has come. Anne Hathaway has earned numerous awards as the tragic Fantine, whose effect on Jean Valjean (Hugh Jackman) is profound as he tries to evade perpetually vengeful Inspector Javert (Russell Crowe). Much of the film’s impact comes from director Tom Hooper’s (“The King’s Speech”) decision to have the actors sing live to film. Amanda Seyfried, Eddie Redmayne, Helena Bonham Carter,
Sacha Baron Cohen and Samantha Barks (who also had the role of Eponine on the London stage) are featured as well. DVD extras: three “making-of ” documentaries; audio commentary by Hooper. ***
“ZERO DARK THIRTY”: A subject of controversy during its theatrical run, this reunion of the Oscar-winning “Hurt Locker” team of director Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal is an engrossing, often exciting dramatization of the hunt for Osama bin Laden. Jessica Chastain’s star rises higher with her intense performance as a CIA analyst who pursues her belief of the terrorist leader’s location - with her hunch ultimately prompting one of modern history’s most famous raids. The fine cast also includes Jason Clarke, Joel Edgerton, Kyle Chandler and Chris Pratt. DVD extras: four “making-of ” documentaries. ***
“THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY”: After his huge success with the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy, director Peter Jackson returns to writer J.R.R. Tolkien’s territory with this epic-sized start to a three-film prequel. Martin Freeman plays Bilbo Baggins, swept into a quest by dwarves to help reclaim their turf. The tale also marks Bilbo’s first meeting with Gollum, played again by Andy Serkis. Other “Lord of the Rings” returnees include Elijah Wood, Cate Blanchett, Hugo Weaving, Ian Holm and Christopher Lee ... and the cast also features Benedict Cumberbatch, the television “Sherlock” to Freeman’s Dr. Watson. DVD extras: production videos. ***
“THIS IS 40”: They had supporting roles in “Knocked Up,” but Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann get center stage as they reprise the characters in writer-director Judd Apatow’s amusing comedy about reaching midllfe. The couple aren’t entirely happy about the situation, given the complications posed by their careers and their children. Jason Segel also returns from the first film in a cast that includes Melissa McCarthy, Megan Fox, John Lithgow, Albert Brooks and Lena Dunham (“Girls”). DVD extras: audio commentary by Apatow; deleted scenes; outtakes; music by Graham Parker and the Rumour, and Ryan Adams. ***
Louisa has three strikes against her. She is diabetic, she is a senior, and she is mostly black. Lousia was found homeless, but at some point she must have had a human family because she is such a good natured, loving old girl. When Louisa first arrived at Katie’s Place she was rather overwhelmed with her surroundings. She has come around and now seeks out attention from anyone who will so much as look her way. She has luminous olive-green eyes but because she’s black, older and diabetic Louisa is often overlooked by adopters. We have hope for Louisa’s future and she certainly has faith that people will like her as much as she likes them. Come and meet this sweet cat. She can be adopted as a permanent foster so you don’t need to worry about any medical costs. Louisa has been
with us for too long. She should be spending her golden years curled up on a couch with someone who adores her. Penny-Lane is also a diabetic. She is on a minimal dose and it appears
her diabetes is under control. She is a funny little girl and everyone at the shelter has fallen in love with her. Penny is not a huge fan of other cats so she spends her life in our hallway. She enjoys hiding under blankets and some of us have spent many frantic moments trying to locate her to give her her meds. Then suddenly a gray fuzzy face appears out of nowhere. If you’re looking for a little cat who would love to spend the evening sitting on your lap while you watch your favourite show, Penny-Lane just may be your girl! Because she is diabetic she would definately qualify for a permanent foster placement. Like Louisa, Penny-Lane has been at our shelter for too long and even though she has the run of the place she desperately longs for a place of her own where she can relax and be loved.

COINCIDENCE (continued):• Beatrice Lillie, famed British actress, was
appearing in a stage play called “This Year of Grace” in Ontario. During a matinee, the entire cast was on stage for the finale, in which Lillie sang, “Britannia Rules the Waves.” The cast lined up behind her, waiting for her to sing the final verse so they could move into their positions across the stage for the final curtain. However, they were shocked to hear Lillie repeating the second verse over again instead of going into the final moves. There was nothing to do but go along with her, and they marked time in the line across the back of the stage as she sang. Suddenly, a huge arc light fell from the ceiling, landing in the middle of the stage with a huge crash. Glass splattered across the stage where the cast would have been standing had Lillie not decided for an unknown reason to repeat the second verse.
• E.G. Steele of Weybridge, England, served in WWI. He was tried and punished for striking an officer. His punishment was to be tied to a gunwheel for one hour at sundown. Next to his camp was an Australian brigade who passed through their camp each evening to get to a nearby town. Several Australian men discovered Steele tied up, and decided it was ridiculous to tie a man up. One of them stepped forward to cut Steele loose. Steele noticed the man had two missing fingers on his left hand. A decade later, Steele was riding the New York subway when a man sat down next to him and they began to chat. Hearing his Australian accent, Steele began to tell him of his rescue in the war. The Australian interrupted, finished the story for him, and held up his left hand- which was missing two fingers. It was the same man.
