PIRATES!by Rick Dandes

They ruled the seven seas back in the 1600s and 1700s and even today are plundering sea vessels in international waters. They are pirates. From movies and books to real life, pirates fascinate people endlessly and probably always will. Tid-bits walks the plank this week, in honor of Na-tional Talk Like a Pirate Day observed on Sep-tember 19. • Although Hollywood pirates, such as Jack

Sparrow’s friends, like to grumble “arrr” or “arrrrgh” frequently, real pirates were not known to do so. Hollywood actor Robert Newton, who played Long John Silver in the 1950s, had a regional accent from the Cotswolds district of England where they like to roll the “r” a bit. However, your average real pirate did not.

• Pirates may have thrown men overboard, but no one was ever known to have “walked the plank.” Again, this one is a Hollywood myth.

• Lady Ching Shih of China became one of the most powerful pirates to have ever sailed the ocean blue. She commanded one of the most formidable pirate fleets in all of Asia during the early 1800s, with hundreds of ships under her command.

TIDBITS GETS FIRED UP ABOUT

NATIONAL BOSS DAYby Stanley Drummond

Bosses are people, too. (Really!) And every year on October 16, America pays tribute to them.• Actually, National Boss Day was created in

1958 by an Illinois secretary named Patricia Haroski. She chose October 16 because it was her father’s birthday. Her father also happened to be her boss at the time. Nevertheless, she felt that bosses in general were underappreciated, and registered the date with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as an official observance.

• Interestingly enough, a 2005 survey done by an international human resources consulting firm revealed that the majority of employees would not trade places with their boss. The primary reason given was the change that would result between them and their co-workers. They could no longer ignore or laugh at any slackers in their department; they’d be responsible for any poor performers.

• Hallmark started selling Boss Day cards in 1979. While they don’t reveal actual sales figures, they do disclose that the “holiday” is poised to break into the list of top 10 card-send-ing events within the next few years.

PIRATES (continued):• Pirates pierced their ears, not to look suave,

but because it was believed that piercing the ears with such precious metals as silver and gold improved one’s eyesight. Even relatively respectable seafaring men indulged in the practice.

• “Davy Jones’ Locker” is a real nautical term that dates back to the 1700s and refers to the bottom of the ocean and a graveyard for drowned sailors.

• As early as 1611, there are written accounts describing a person who brings bad luck to a ship as a “Jonah.” If a man was marked as a Jonah, he was doomed to be thrown overboard. If the trouble persisted, the pirates might suspect they’d thrown the wrong man overboard and would sometimes toss the original accuser into the sea to appease the ghost of the innocent man.

• Every pirate ship had its Code of Conduct specified by the pirate captain. While stealing was the pirate’s job, stealing amongst shipmates was severely punished. Some boats had a “zero tolerance” policy for internal theft that left you dead or marooned if caught.

• No one has actually ever found a real pirate’s buried treasure map. Never too far from death, most pirates tried to enjoy their money quickly. At any rate, there aren’t any maps around today, unless some are still cleverly hidden.

• Throughout history some women have preferred knives to knitting needles. Two of history’s most famous female pirates are Anne Bonny, born in Ireland, and Mary Read, born in England. Not wanting to live the subservient life expected of women during her day, Bonny won over the respect of her pirate crewmembers with her murderous and capable ways. She eventually became best friends with her fellow fierce, female pirate, Read.


Sept 19- 25Page 3

PIRATES (continued):• As members of Captain “Calico” Jack

Rackham’s crew, Bonny and Read disguised themselves as men and earned reputations as tough, fearless fighters. When Rackham and his crew were captured and sentenced to hang, Bonny, the captain’s girlfriend, reportedly told him: “Had you fought like a man, you need not have been hanged like a dog.”

• The exact origin of Jolly Roger, the generic term for a pirate flag, is unknown. It may come from “Old Roger,” an English term for the devil, or from a corrupted version of the French “Jolie Rouge,” meaning “pretty red.” Pirate ships didn’t fly Jolly Rogers at all times; instead, they’d often fly fake flags until their victims or enemies came into view.

• Pirate ships flew Jolly Roger flags featuring motifs intended to intimidate, including skulls, crossbones, swords, skeletons, bleeding hearts and hourglasses, meant to symbolize that time was running out.

• Port Royal, Jamaica, once known as the “wickedest city on earth” and as a wealthy haven for pirates, was devastated by an earthquake on June 7, 1692. Much of the thriving, densely populated community was destroyed. Port Royal was rebuilt and served as a British naval station in the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, it is a small fishing town and tourist destination.

• “Treasure Island” by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson was first published serially in a children’s magazine between 1881 and 1882, under the title “The Sea-Cook.” It was published as a book in 1883. One of the main characters, the pirate Long John Silver, is nicknamed the Sea Cook. Silver, who is missing one leg, was reportedly inspired by a writer-editor friend of Stevenson’s who had lost a leg to disease.

PIRATES (continued):• The “Pirates of the Caribbean” ride opened at

Disneyland in Anaheim, California, in 1967. It was reportedly the last attraction that Walt Disney (1901-1966) had a hand in planning before he died.

• The Caribbean Sea gets its name from the Caribs, one of the main Native American Indian groups in the region when Spanish explorers arrived in the 15th century. The Caribs were known as fierce fighters and practitioners of cannibalism. Although largely eliminated by the Europeans in the 17th century, some Caribs survive today in Guatemala and Dominica.

• The pirate Blackbeard cultivated an intimidating image and put cannon fuses under his hat to scare people. Blackbeard died in a battle with British navy lieutenant Robert Maynard off the North Carolina coast in 1718.

• In pirate language, “shiver me timbers” was used to express strong feelings or surprise.

• The term buccaneer is derived from “boucanier” and “boucan,” a French term for the smoking process used by hunters on the island of Hispaniola to prepare meat. Driven out by the Spanish, these buccaneers joined others who had an axe to grind with the Spaniards and attacked their ships. By the 17th century, the term was used generically to refer to pirates and privateers throughout the West Indies.

• Welsh buccaneer Sir Henry Morgan served as the inspiration for novelist John Steinbeck’s first novel, “Cup of Gold.” When it was originally published in 1929, the book attracted little attention. Ten years later, Steinbeck published “The Grapes of Wrath,” which won the Pulitzer Prize.

The Greek historian Plutarch, writing in about 100 A.D., gave the oldest clear definition of piracy. He described pirates as those who attack without legal authority not only ships, but also maritime cities.

One pirate said to his fellow crewmate, “Arrrgh, that be a fine-looking hook and peg leg ye got for ye’self!” The pirate replied, “I should think so, it cost me an arm and a leg!”

The vast majority of pirates, although they could not be described as kind, were more than fair in the treatment of their crew and their captives. In fact, most pirate crews operated under a code of rules and laws referred to as “articles” that were remarkably democratic.

• It was American author and philosopher Eric Hoffer who made the following sage observation: "Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength." • If you were to have a perfectly dry mouth, you wouldn't be able to taste a single thing. Researchers conducted an experiment in which they placed salt on a subject's dry tongue, and the subject reported absolutely no taste at all. Once a drop of saliva was added, though, the taste came through clearly. • According to the makers of the Stetson, a 10-gallon hat actually holds only about three quarts of liquid.

• During the third century, Saint Lawrence of Rome, a deacon to Pope Sixtus II, was burned to death during a series of persecutions of priests and deacons. Legend has it that while he was on the fire, he turned to his executioners and said, "This side's done; turn me over and have a bite." It was for this reason that he was named the patron saint of butchers, roasters and comedians. • The average robin reportedly has nearly 3,000 feathers. Makes you wonder who did the counting. • Most people probably are aware of the fact that Franklin Delano Roosevelt is the only American president who was elected to more than two terms in office -- he served three full terms and died during his fourth term in office. Despite the fact that he was an incredibly popular president, however, in none of his four elections did he carry his home county of Dutchess, New York. • If you have a severe food allergy, peanuts are the most common culprit, followed, in order, by shellfish, fish, tree nuts and eggs.***

Respect Is The Name Of The Game

By Tresa EricksonUpon mention of the word “etiquette,” dining might be the first subject to come to mind. You might envision a group of people using a wide range of utensils as they converse over a seven-course meal, or a mother reminding her young son not to eat with his mouth full. Essentially a set of rules governing behavior, etiquette applies to a number of areas, in-cluding fishing. Whether you fish a little or a lot, there are certain rules you should follow. Here’s a refresher course on fishing etiquette, just in case you have forgotten.

Respect the EnvironmentKeep the site where you fish as clean and undisturbed as possi-ble. Stay on trails and take out everything you bring in, includ-ing trash and chemi-cals. Don’t litter or dump waste into the water. Pick up any other trash you find and dispose of it properly. The goal is to leave the site as clean or cleaner than you found it. Do your best to achieve this, and should you see others damaging the environment, don’t be afraid to report it to authorities.

Respect WildlifeTake care not to dis-

turb wildlife and handle fish carefully. Use eco-friendly products and practices. Try barbless hooks and molded nets to make the release of fish easier and safer. Consider using artificial lures in place of live bait. If that isn’t possible, choose native species over exotic species. Exotic bait could survive, reproduce and wreak havoc on the ecosystem. Handle fish with a damp paper towel to keep the pro-tective layer on their gills intact, keep only what you need and release the rest properly.

Respect the LawFind out what regulations are in place and fol-low them to the let-ter. Obtain a license if required. Don’t drink, especially if fishing from a boat. Use only the tackle permitted and keep only the fish al-lowed. Do not fudge on the rules. You could harm the en-vironment. Should you see any illegal activity, report it im-mediately to author-ities.

Respect OthersGet permission be-

fore fishing on private lands and be courte-ous of everyone you come into contact with. Give anglers their space. Don’t butt in on their territory. If you are fishing from a boat, watch your speed, wake and wash. Be quiet around the water. Turn off your cell phone and radio and keep conversation to a minimum. You don’t want to spook the fish.

Be aware of the consequences of your actions and do your best to be an ethical angler. En-courage others to do the same and make the pastime better for everyone.

Writing a Solid Resume

If you've revamped your resume for job hunting, chances are you've tinkered with it so much that you can no longer see it clearly. Here are some thoughts and ideas to consider before you send it out. In many cases, you'll have only about eight seconds to grab someone's attention.There are two formats to consider in writing a resume: chronological versus functional. In one, you describe your past jobs starting with the most recent and then work backward. In the other, you organize your skills. Which one you use is up to you and can depend on the type of position you're seeking. In some cases a combination will work best.Depending on the jobs you're

applying for, you might need multiple resumes. In some, you might want to leave off that you have a Ph.D. and speak multiple languages. In others those qualifications could be important.Many resume

services advise starting with a statement of your objective: What kind of job are you looking for? If there are certain keywords for your industry, use those. It might be a machine that scans your resume.If you're just beginning to do your resume and you're at a loss about where to start, look at samples online. Even if you're able to hire someone to do the work, having an idea in advance about the finished product might well reduce your cost of having the resume prepared.If you've been out of work and don't know how to account for that period of time, don't fudge the truth. Ideally you'll have some volunteer experiences to list.If you're currently working

and feel that your job is secure, great! But take the time to write down the things you've accomplished in your current job, as well as the ones you've had before. If the worst should happen and you're handed a pink slip, having that information already written down will be a big help when you'll likely be worrying about multiple issues.For in-depth information on writing your resume, go to www.resume-help.org. Also see www.jobsearch.about.com.Above all, edit, check and reread, even if a professional does the work for you. Don't let a resume go out with a single misspelled word or wrong date.

CASTLESWhen you think of something large, strong and majestic, you might be thinking about a castle. This type of fortress was built in multiple places and in multiple styles throughout history.

• Castles were built to withstand attack from enemies. Castle builders added many defensive features to make their castles difficult to attack. Many castles were built on high ground with clear views of the surrounding land.

• Castles with curtain walls with flanking towers were difficult to capture. These towers allowed well-protected defenders to fire at attackers along the line of the castle walls, concentrating fire on particular points of heavy attack. A good early example of a castle with flanking towers is Framlingham in Suffolk, England. Along the curtain wall, at intervals, are 13 square or rectangular towers.

• At the top of the castle walls were battlements, a protective, tooth-shaped parapet with a wall walk behind it for the soldiers to stand on. The defenders could fire missiles through gaps. The raised sections between are called merlons, which helped to shelter the defenders during an enemy attack.

• Castles in the round: It was harder for attackers to make round towers collapse. Unlike square towers, they had no corners, which collapsed if holes were dug underneath the foundations.

• European castles had their origins dating back to around AD 900 and played a great role in the then military system of feudalism.

• The great age of castles began almost 1,000 years ago and lasted for nearly 500 years. The first proper castles built in England were built after the Norman Conquest in 1066. They were introduced by William the Conqueror, when he invaded England from his homeland in France.

CASTLES (continued):• The famous Tower of London began as a

timber fortress in an earthen enclosure on the north bank of the Thames in London. In 1078, William the Conqueror replaced this timber fortress with a massive stone fortress called the Great Tower. William needed to show his authority and protect his new kingdom.

• In the Middle East, the Crusaders developed great castles with double circuits of curving outer walls and towers to overlook the entire wall. These castles influenced castle building throughout Europe and the British Isles, and the early 13th-century medieval castle was a marriage of Norman, English and Byzantine styles. Two good examples of this are the Château Gaillard on the Seine in France and the Conisbrough Castle in England.

• One of the last tower houses to be built in Scotland was Lethendy Tower, dating back to 1678.

• No two castles are the same. This is due to topography, taste, available materials and the ability of the designer.

• The spiral stairs in castle towers are designed to ascend clockwise in an effort to make the attackers expose more of their body in order to use the sword in their right hand.

• At Exeter Castle in England in 1136, the garrison used wine to extinguish fires from a siege.

• The largest inhabited castle in the world is Windsor Castle in the United Kingdom.

• There were once about 5,000 castles in Japan, but today there are only about a dozen original feudal castles left.
