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.

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.

“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. ***

COINCIDENCE (continued):• 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. • 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 long 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 self same book.
• Christina Cort lived in Salvador, Brazil in 1966 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.
rickyreviews~Piano the EZee Way~
Amanda grew up in Nelson BC where she was classically trained on the piano from the age of 5. At 16 she wrote her Grade 10 Royal Conservatory of Music exams and from there she was off to the University of Victoria to obtain a Bachelor of Arts Degree. She continued studying and graduated from UBC Okanagan with an Education Degree and began her professional teaching career in Kelowna.
In 2008 she had her little boy and the family decided to move to Vernon where her husband works. Because raising her own family is important to Amanda (she had another baby boy in November 2012), she decided to leave teaching school behind and has opened her own music studio from home.
Amanda has taught various music programs throughout her career and is now exclusively teaching EZee Piano Systems©; BEGINNER group lessons for teens, adults and seniors. In 2013 she was promoted to Assistant National Director of EZee Piano Systems©. “The reason this system works so well is because it focuses on just getting her students to play hands together from the 1st lesson. Students just enjoy the fact that they can actually play, and that they can actually play something worth listening to.
The program is designed in such a way that learning the basics is easy and fun for everyone including the teacher! Within a few weeks you can be playing for your friends and family and have a good laugh while all their jaws drop in amazement.I have only spoken to Amanda on the phone and she has a wonderful disposition and I can truly say that as a teacher she would be one that I would choose to have.

Marty Kelly is a standup comic who has appeared on Just For Laughs and Open Mike with Mike Bullard. Email: [email protected]
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: 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.

COINCIDENCE (continued):• 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.
• 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.
rickyreviews~The Krazy Llama Cafe~
Well here’s a trip to South America without the cost of plane fare. This truly unique dinning pleasure is based in Lumby, BC, right on the main street. You can’t miss it.
Folks from all over the Okanagan Valley traverse the distance just to have breakfast and lunch here. My wife and I were very impressed with the selection of great dishes from Argentina, Venezuela, Mexico, Peru & Chile.
Yep...we are now Llama lovers and you will be too. Maurice, the owner had us in stitches as he is a real comedian. His guests always leave with sated palates and a smile on their face. This gentleman chef is so proud of his cookery that if you do not like the food...It’s FREE. Now where do you find a restaurant with that kind of confidence? I’ve dined at many establishments and have never ever seen such as we have at the Krazy Llama Cafe. Even the decor reminds me of dining in Aruba and South America. I give this place a two thumbs up but if I had more thumbs to give, I would.
Get into the Llama Zone and treat yourself...You will not be sorry, I guarantee it
it’s Krazy, it’s Fun, it’s unique
