by 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.

BLIZZARD TREAT

• 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.

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.

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 the 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.

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.

Tools 4 life By DR. Jim coyle Thankfulness buries the killer c’s

Have you ever noticed that some people seem to be able to maintain an attitude of gratitude regardless of what’s happening around them? They see the good in difficult people, they see the opportunity in a challenging situation, and they appreciate what they have, even in the face of loss. These people have the ability to bury the killer c’s that can overtake us and cripple us. The killer c’s are criticizing, complaining, and controlling. Here are some benefits of eliminating the c’s with thankfulness. Thankfulness buries the critic that judges and finds fault. When we are grateful our eyes and thoughts are looking up to someone rather than looking down on someone. Thankfulness buries the complainer that is never satisfied. When we are grateful our focus is appreciating what we have verses focusing on what we don’t have. Thankfulness buries the controller that has a tight hold on everything. When we are grateful our grip on the steering wheel loosens.

“When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years.” - Mark Twain

I never wanted to believe that my Dad was stealing from his job as a road worker. But when I got home, all the signs were there.

• 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 midsentence, noticing the look of astonishment on the man’s face. “I AM Peter Richley!” he exclaimed.

• 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.

Memory loss doesn’t have to be inevitable as we age. While 40 percent of seniors will experience some type of memory decline, fortunately it’s something we can fight. The Mayo Clinic has a list of eight things we can do to sharpen our brain. 1. Take care of any chronic conditions you have, and follow your doctor’s advice. 2. Stay mentally active. Read a portion of the newspaper you usually don’t see. Invest in a puzzle book. Volunteer in the community. (Offering to shelve books at the library can help with both mental and physical fitness.) Learn to play a new musical instrument. Ask the senior center to invest in one of the memory improvement/brain fitness computer programs, and use it often. (Studies have shown they work!) Dial the phone with your opposite hand. Learn new games or activities. 3. Stay physically active. Walking a total of 2 1/2 hours a week will help keep the blood flowing to the brain. 4. Get organized. Declutter your home. Make lists of things you need to do, and always keep the list in the same place. Keep your keys and other essentials in one location too. 5. Socialize. Look for opportunities to attend events with friends. You’ll help to fight depression and stress at the same time. 6. Eat a healthy diet. Vegetables, whole grains, fruits and low-fat proteins -- as well as plenty of water -- can help your brain function at its peak. 7. Concentrate on what you’re doing. You’ll remember information better if it’s the only thing you’re thinking about. 8. Get plenty of sleep, or at least enough naps. Even the brain needs to rest!

• Clara Lemlich was born in 1886 in the Ukraine, but came to the U.S. in 1903 to escape violent uprisings. Within weeks, she found work as a seamstress in a garment factory in New York City, a job that was the very definition of “sweatshop”. Seamstresses worked 11 hour days, for 6 or 7 days a week, for wages of $3 a week. This did not come close to being a living wage, and garment workers were reduced to utter poverty while being treated like machines. • Shocked at the conditions, Clara joined the newly formed International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union. On Nov. 22, 1909, she rose to prominence at a huge rally. After listening to a host of male speakers spouting vague platitudes about solidarity, she demanded a chance to speak. Once on stage, she insisted that the time for speeches was over, and the time for action had come. “I vote we strike NOW. Who’s with me?” she shouted. Most of the workers joined her, in what became known as “The Uprising of 20,000”. • Clara thereafter found herself in the role of a union leader, because she was bold, eloquent, pretty, and charming. She organized the strikers, led picket lines, and wrote articles for the newspaper. At one point she was hospitalized after being beaten by thugs hired to break the strike, and she was often arrested. Soon it was apparent that this wasn’t just a protest; it was more of a worker’s revolution. • By spring of 1910, most of the garment factories had agreed to terms including better wages, shorter hours, and safer working conditions. However, one of the final hold-outs was the Triangle Factory. • The Triangle Factory manufactured women’s blouses, which were called shirtwaists. In March of 1911, the Triangle Factory caught fire when a carelessly dropped match ignited a blaze. The conflagration spread— and 146 garment workers died in the blaze, because all the exit doors were locked and they could not escape. It was the deadliest workplace accident in the history of New York City. This put the national spotlight on working conditions and the rights of unions to demand changes. • Clara added suffrage to her agenda, correctly guessing that until women were allowed to vote, the sweeping social changes needed would never come to pass: “The manufacturer has a vote; the bosses have votes; the foremen have votes, the inspectors have votes. The working girl has no vote. When she asks to have a building in which she must work made clean and safe, the officials do not have to listen… Until the men in the Legislature at Albany represent her as well as the bosses and the foremen, she will not get justice; she will not get fair conditions. That is why the working woman now says that she must have the vote.” • When women were granted the right to vote in 1920, Clara turned her attention to other injustices: protesting the inflated food prices; fighting for the rights of tenants; joining the Civil Rights movement; protesting the Viet Nam war; joining the fight against nuclear weapons; and working on behalf of migrant farm workers. Confined to a nursing home in her old age, she helped organize the nurses. • Clara died in 1982, having spent her entire life fighting for the rights of the downtrodden.

● If you have small scratches in your wood furniture, try this old trick: Rub a walnut over dings to cover them up. Or find a matching brown crayon, rub it lightly into the scratch, and finish with a hair dryer held 10 inches away for about 10-15 seconds. It melts the wax of the crayon, and then you can buff it with a soft rag. Any excess is swept away, and the color remains.

• 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, 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.
