The Origin of<br />

Groundhog Day<br />

Submitted by Thomas Hill<br />

Out ’n About with<br />

DuBois Realty Group<br />

of Keller Williams<br />

Realty<br />

at Flagship Cinemas for their<br />

Client Appreciation Day<br />

Jozette Forastiere, Toni Ferraro,<br />

Marnie & Brian DuBois<br />

We’re showing<br />

Luke Skywalker a house<br />

right after the<br />

Star Wars movie.<br />

Groundhog Day may<br />

be associated strongly<br />

with the 1993 Bill Murray<br />

film, but its origins<br />

lie with German<br />

settlers in the 18th<br />

century. The name<br />

Punxsutawney, the<br />

town in Pennsylvania<br />

where the groundhog<br />

ceremony takes place<br />

every year, comes from<br />

the Indian name for the<br />

location "ponksaduteney,"<br />

which means<br />

"the town of the sand<br />

flies."<br />

When German settlers<br />

arrived in the 1700s,<br />

they brought the celebration<br />

of Candlemas<br />

with them. German tradition<br />

holds that if the<br />

sun comes out on Candlemas,<br />

the hedgehog<br />

will see its shadow and<br />

six more weeks of Winter<br />

will follow. If no<br />

shadow is seen, legend<br />

says Spring will<br />

come early.<br />

I know I'm supposed to back up my files, but I still haven't found reverse<br />

on my computer.<br />

The German settlers<br />

in Pennsylvania<br />

continued the tradition<br />

but used a groundhog<br />

rather than a<br />

hedgehog.<br />

The groundhog, also<br />

known as a woodchuck<br />

[Marmota monax], is a<br />

member of the squirrel<br />

family. Groundhogs in<br />

the wild eat succulent<br />

green plants, such as<br />

dandelion, clover, and<br />

grasses.<br />

(continued from previous page)<br />

The first official<br />

Groundhog day was on<br />

<strong>February</strong> 2nd, 1887, at<br />

Gobbler's Knob, about<br />

65 miles northeast of<br />

Pittsburgh, although its<br />

first reference can be<br />

found in 1841.<br />

Today it is celebrated<br />

in the USA and<br />

Canada, with the most<br />

popular ceremony in<br />

Punxsutawney, although<br />

there are several<br />

others across both<br />

countries. Crowds in<br />

Punxsutawney can be<br />

as large as 40,000,<br />

and have increased in<br />

popularity since the Bill<br />

Murray film.<br />

Punxsutawney Phil, the<br />

world's most famous<br />

groundhog, has seen<br />

his shadow nearly 100<br />

times, has not seen it<br />

15 times, and nine<br />

years are unaccounted<br />

for.<br />

Chaser<br />

Submitted by Jimbo<br />

Mike walked into a post<br />

office just before<br />

Valentine's day, he<br />

couldn't help noticing a<br />

middle-aged, balding<br />

man standing in a corner<br />

sticking "Love"<br />

stamps on bright pink<br />

envelopes with hearts<br />

all over them. Then the<br />

man got out a bottle of<br />

Channel perfume from<br />

his pocket and started<br />

spraying scent over the<br />

envelopes.<br />

Mike's curiosity had got<br />

the better of him, and<br />

so he asked the man<br />

why he was sending all<br />

those cards. The man<br />

replied, "I'm sending<br />

out 500 Valentine<br />

cards signed, 'Guess<br />

who?'"<br />

"But why?" asked<br />

Mike.<br />

"I'm a divorce lawyer,"<br />

the man replied.<br />

hair!"<br />

His father says, "Yeah,<br />

Covering his<br />

Tracks<br />

Submitted by Jimbo<br />

Over breakfast one<br />

morning, a woman said<br />

to her husband, “I bet<br />

you don't know what<br />

day this is?”<br />

“Of course I do,” he answered<br />

indignantly, as<br />

he slammed the door,<br />

and drove to his office.<br />

At 11 o'clock, the doorbell<br />

rang. The wife answered,<br />

and there at<br />

her front door was a<br />

UPS driver, in his had<br />

was a box containing<br />

12 red roses.<br />

Later, at 2 pm there<br />

was another knock at<br />

the door, this time it<br />

was a deluxe box of<br />

Belgian chocolates.<br />

Eventually the husband<br />

came home, tired after<br />

a hard day's work. His<br />

wife greeted him by<br />

saying: “First the flowers,<br />

then the chocolates,<br />

I've never had a<br />

more wonderful<br />

Groundhog Day in my<br />

life!”<br />

“There is no way that<br />

this winter is ever<br />

going to end as long as<br />

this groundhog keeps<br />

seeing his shadow. I<br />

don't see any other<br />

way out. He's got to be<br />

stopped. And I have to<br />

stop him.”<br />

A book never written: “Avoiding Valentine’s Day” by I.M.N. Love.<br />

Perfect Gift?<br />

Submitted by Jimbo<br />

Jonny asked his friend,<br />

Tony, whether he had<br />

bought his wife anything<br />

for Valentine's<br />

Day.<br />

“Yes” came the answer<br />

from Tony who was a<br />

bit of a chauvinist, “I've<br />

bought her a belt and a<br />

bag.”<br />

“That was very kind of<br />

you,” Jonny added, “I<br />

hope she appreciated<br />

the thought.”<br />

Tony smiled as he<br />

replied, “So do I, and<br />

hopefully the vacuum<br />

cleaner will work better<br />

now.”<br />

You could walk this over to your friends but it's less hassle to just e-mail it to them.<br />

The Dream<br />

Submitted by Thomas Hill<br />

A woman was taking a<br />

nap on Valentine’s Day<br />

afternoon. After she<br />

awoke, she told her<br />

husband, “I just<br />

dreamed that you gave<br />

me a gorgeous and<br />

expensive diamond<br />

necklace for Valentine’s<br />

Day! What do<br />

you think it means?”<br />

“You’ll know tonight,”<br />

he said.<br />

That evening, her husband<br />

came home with<br />

a small package for<br />

her. Thrilled, she<br />

opened it and found a<br />

book titled ‘The<br />

Meaning of Dreams.’<br />

Status Sign<br />

Submitted by Jimbo<br />

Mr. Schwartz was the<br />

oldest of 7 children, so<br />

he had to quit school<br />

and work to help support<br />

his younger brothers<br />

and sisters. He<br />

never learned to read,<br />

so when he married<br />

and started a checking<br />

account, he signed his<br />

checks simply "XX".<br />

Eventually he started<br />

his own business,<br />

which immediately<br />

prospered.<br />

He soon was a very<br />

rich man. One day, he<br />

got a call from his<br />

bank. "Mr. Schwartz,"<br />

said the banker, "I<br />

need to ask you about<br />

this check. We weren't<br />

sure you had really<br />

signed it. All these<br />

years you've been<br />

signing your checks<br />

'XX', but we just got<br />

one that was signed<br />

with three XXX's..."<br />

Mr. Schwartz answered,<br />

"No problem,<br />

my friend. It's just that<br />

since I've become so<br />

wealthy, my wife<br />

thought I ought to use<br />

my middle name."<br />

First cave man to<br />

2nd cave man:<br />

“I don’t care what you<br />

say. We never had<br />

such unusual weather<br />

before they started<br />

using bows and<br />

arrows.”<br />

Winter's coming so I'm knitting you a muffler. What size is your mouth?<br />

Bert took his dog to the<br />

vet.<br />

”Doctor,” he said sadly,<br />

“I’m afraid I’m going to<br />

have to ask you to cut<br />

off my dog’s tail.”<br />

The vet stepped back,<br />

“Bert, why should I do<br />

such a terrible thing?”<br />

”Because my motherin-law’s<br />

arriving tomorrow,<br />

and I don’t want<br />

anything to make her<br />

Some people are extremely<br />

when you tell them<br />

you’re a Navy SEAL.<br />

Case in point: My<br />

grandson’s pre-K class<br />

on Career Day. I regaled<br />

them with stories<br />

of my exploits in the<br />

military. After I finished,<br />

hands shot up into the<br />

air all over the classroom.<br />

The kids were<br />

eager to ask questions.<br />

“So,” asked one little<br />

girl, “can you balance a<br />

ball on the end of your<br />

nose?”<br />

“Beauty is in the eye of<br />

the beholder and it<br />

may be necessary from<br />

time to time to give a<br />

stupid or misinformed<br />

beholder a black eye.”<br />

He rushes to the emergency<br />

look and says, “Yuck!<br />

Well, give me the fingers<br />

and I’ll see what I<br />

can do.”<br />

“I haven’t got the fingers.”<br />

The doctor says, “What<br />

do you mean, you<br />

haven’t got the fingers?<br />

This is the age of medical<br />

advances. We’ve<br />

got microsurgery and all<br />

sorts of incredible techniques!<br />

Silent Movie<br />

Submitted by Jimbo<br />

Bill Gates took advantage of his Windows of opportunity.<br />

It was Valentine's day<br />

and John and<br />

Danielle's first date.<br />

They sat in the darkened<br />

cinema waiting<br />

for the film to start. The<br />

screen finally lit up with<br />

a flashy advertisement<br />

for the cinema's concession<br />

stand. John<br />

and Danielle realized<br />

that there was no<br />

sound. The film began<br />

but the silence<br />

continued.<br />

Suddenly, out of the<br />

darkness, an irritated<br />

voice in the crowd<br />

loudly shouted, “Okay,<br />

who's got the remote<br />

control?”<br />

"Yes, sir," the boys<br />

"Then why is it that<br />

L/<br />

A t<br />

Good news from around Lew<br />

Hey L/A, keep watching (and reading) every month for more great stuff like what you’re about<br />

to read... We’re sure you’ll find it heartwarming and amazing.<br />

We’ll be on the look out for more local heroes, so if you know of one PLEASE let us know!<br />

We’re also looking for writers, who do you know that has a knack for writing a good story?<br />

Paying It<br />

Forward<br />

in L/A<br />

Written by Deborah Carroll<br />

Maura Moody, of Winthrop,<br />

Maine, is 25-years-old, but wise<br />

beyond her years.<br />

Having just celebrated her quarter<br />

century milestone, and feeling<br />

blessed, Moody thought “I am so<br />

rich with love,<br />

family and<br />

friends, that<br />

buying for myself<br />

just felt selfish.”<br />

“My birthday,”<br />

she suggests,<br />

“is a day to celebrate and give<br />

back to those who bring me so<br />

much life and so many lessons.”<br />

“<br />

“My birthday is a day<br />

to celebrate and give back<br />

to those who bring me so<br />

much life and so many<br />

lessons.”<br />

"<br />

“This is the stuff I live for,” says<br />

Moody, “this is the stuff that<br />

makes me light up.”<br />

Moody met her<br />

friend a month<br />

or so ago at the<br />

gym, and the<br />

pair quickly developed<br />

a bond<br />

based on mutual<br />

respect, encouragement,<br />

and acknowledgement<br />

of the difficulties we all experience<br />

as we move through life.<br />

And so Moody went shopping.<br />

Not for herself, but for a friend<br />

who needed some of the positive<br />

vibrations and love that Moody<br />

had herself been showered with<br />

on her big day. “And boy, was it<br />

entertaining,” said Moody. The<br />

“smiles, giggles and jokes,” that<br />

the pair shared while her friend<br />

tried on new outfits “has beyond<br />

made my birthday the best one<br />

yet.”<br />

With the wisdom and grace of<br />

one who has typically accumulated<br />

many more of both years<br />

and life experiences, Moody understands<br />

that “part of finding<br />

ourselves is discovering the true<br />

joy of giving back.” It’s a great reminder<br />

to us all that the simple<br />

act of giving can be so much more<br />

joyful and fulfilling than the act of<br />

receiving. n<br />

An<br />

Amazing<br />

Gift<br />

Suzie Skougard was a wife and the<br />

mother to three kids who thought<br />

she had everything figured out.<br />

Then, just before her 30th birthday,<br />

she had her fourth child, Carly. She<br />

was born with Down syndrome.<br />

Suzie recently shared this touching<br />

story about her daughter and a<br />

local grocery store employee that<br />

sheds some light on people with<br />

Down Syndrome...<br />

they are my favorite moments in<br />

the world. This woman works at<br />

our local grocery store, I always<br />

pick her checkout lane. Even back<br />

when I was pregnant-- I chose hers,<br />

even when the line was longer.<br />

When I was pregnant, I'd talk to<br />

her in the few minutes<br />

I had. I wanted<br />

to know what Down<br />

syndrome would<br />

mean for my daughter<br />

as she got older.<br />

What would her life<br />

be like? Would she<br />

be anything like this<br />

woman?<br />

I never mentioned that Carly had<br />

Down syndrome until one day out<br />

of the blue when Carly was around<br />

6 months old, she wrapped her<br />

arms around her and said, "She has<br />

Down Syndrome."<br />

"She sure does," I said.<br />

“<br />

“Does she know<br />

sign language?”<br />

She asked as she<br />

pointed in Carly's<br />

direction.<br />

"<br />

"She knows a few signs!"<br />

"When I was a baby I did this one<br />

(she signs 'more') and this one (she<br />

signs 'please').<br />

"Yes! Carly knows those ones!"<br />

"I also know one<br />

more for her, I can<br />

teach her!" And she<br />

signed 'I love you.'<br />

I interacted with a lot<br />

of people at the grocery<br />

store. There was<br />

a woman who<br />

scolded me for not<br />

having shoes on<br />

Carly on a cold day, (she kicked<br />

them off), a clerk who was less<br />

than interested in helping me find<br />

an item, and an impatient person<br />

that shoved past because we were<br />

following behind an elderly gentleman<br />

that was moving slowly when<br />

they were in a hurry.<br />

Credit: Facebook/Team Carly Jean<br />

By the time I took the picture Carly<br />

had gotten upset, (it was past time<br />

for milk and nap was interrupted)<br />

but I still took this picture, because<br />

when exchanges like this happen,<br />

Today as we were leaving the<br />

store, she said, "I have Down Syndrome<br />

like her, and I have a big<br />

heart."<br />

"You definitely do have a big<br />

heart," I replied.<br />

"Does she know sign language?"<br />

She asked as she pointed in Carly's<br />

direction.<br />

Some people feel like people with<br />

Down Syndrome don't contribute<br />

anything meaningful to society,<br />

but amidst all the Grinches today,<br />

she stood apart. And just being her,<br />

she gave us an amazing gift. A<br />

smile.<br />

A Man of Few<br />

Words<br />

Submitted by Thomas Hill<br />

A prince was put under<br />

a spell so that he could<br />

speak only one word<br />

each year. If he didn’t<br />

speak for two years,<br />

the following year he<br />

could speak two words<br />

and so on.<br />

One day, he fell in love<br />

with a beautiful lady.<br />

He refrained from<br />

speaking for two whole<br />

years so he could call<br />

her ‘my darling.’ But<br />

then he wanted to tell<br />

her he loved her, so he<br />

waited three more<br />

years. At the end of<br />

these five years, he<br />

wanted to ask her to<br />

marry him, so he<br />

waited another four<br />

years.<br />

Finally, as the ninth<br />

year of silence ended,<br />

he led the lady to the<br />

most romantic place in<br />

the kingdom and said,<br />

“My darling, I love you!<br />

Will you marry me?”<br />

And the lady said,<br />

“Pardon?”<br />

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, and therefore is winged cupid painted<br />

white and the sky is blue. The<br />

sun always shines, when I'm<br />

miles. Every time you kiss me,<br />

the sun and moon smiles.<br />

There's no mountain top higher,<br />

than my love for you. Every adventure,<br />

holds memories new.<br />

A husband was engrossed<br />

in a magazine<br />

(most likely <strong>Uncle</strong><br />

Andy’s <strong>Digest</strong>) while<br />

his wife was reading<br />

the newspaper. Suddenly,<br />

she burst out<br />

laughing.<br />

"Get this," she said.<br />

"Some guy put an ad in<br />

here offering to swap<br />

his wife for a season<br />

ticket to the stadium."<br />

"Hmmmmm," her<br />

husband mumbled,<br />

still engrossed in his<br />

copy of the <strong>Digest</strong>.<br />

Wanting to test him,<br />

she asked, "Would you<br />

swap me for a season<br />

ticket?"<br />

"Absolutely not!" he<br />

said.<br />

"That's so sweet," she<br />

replied. "Tell me why<br />

not."<br />

“Heck, the season's<br />

more than half over!"<br />

<strong>February</strong> is here and that means<br />

Valentine’s Day, but love can be a touchy<br />

subject. There are different types of love<br />

aren’t there? A lumberjack loves his<br />

computer, and especially enjoys logging<br />

in, while the historian loves reading<br />

about bobcats because they are lynx to<br />

the past.<br />

My Aunt loves to tell jokes while she<br />

knits her latest creation, so we know that<br />

she is a real knit-wit. Then there’s the<br />

guy on reality TV who loves eating<br />

couches. I think he has a suite tooth. I’m<br />

obviously inn too deep now, but I think<br />

we all love a good play on words, but<br />

some of us roll our eyes because we<br />

can’t stand the PUNishment.<br />

Valentine’s Day is great for retailers<br />

who take this holiday to heart. I must<br />

admit that I hate the price of candy at the<br />

local stores because they're always<br />

Raisinette! In one store, two guys got<br />

into a real fight. The way I look at it, two<br />

suckers got licked. The tradition will always<br />

continue to be that people in love<br />

send candy & flowers to each other, and<br />

when they eat their candy with both<br />

hands, we should consider them ambidextrose.<br />

The best part of Valentine’s day is<br />

the simple reminder to show others you<br />

care about them. This holds true for businesses<br />

like American Greetings & Hallmark,<br />

whose fate is literally in the cards.<br />

Of all the Valentine’s Day Cards I have<br />

ever received, my favorite was one from<br />

my daughter. It was made of soft leather.<br />

What a suede heart!<br />

As we push through winter and look<br />

forward to spring, a special note to all of<br />

those who I am lucky enough to know<br />

and love: I love you mower today than<br />

yesterday, but not as mulch as tomorrow.<br />

A customer in a bakery was observed<br />

carefully examining all the rich-looking<br />

pastries<br />

displayed on trays in the glass cases.<br />

A clerk approached him and asked, “What<br />

would you like?”<br />

He answered, “I’d like that chocolate-covered,<br />

cream-filled doughnut, that jelly-filled<br />

doughnut and that cheese Danish.”<br />

Then with a sigh he added, “But I’ll take an<br />

oat-bran muffin.”<br />

ServiceMaster<br />

Franchise Relocates to Auburn<br />

A growing, local ServiceMaster Fire and Water<br />

Restoration franchise recently relocated to Auburn.<br />

The franchise, owned by Steve Cox, moved from<br />

Oxford to a nearly 10,000-sqaure foot facility formerly<br />

occupied by Crystal Spring Water Co. off Washington<br />

Avenue. The new headquarters is more central to the<br />

business’s customer service area, which covers Oxford,<br />

Androscoggin, Franklin, Kennebec and Cumberland<br />

counties.<br />

“We’re delighted to be the newest business moving to<br />

the Auburn-Lewiston area,” said Cox. “The move is a<br />

positive thing for our employees, our customers, and the<br />

businesses and homeowners we look forward to serving.”<br />

ServiceMaster provides 24-hour professional,<br />

commercial and residential cleaning services, including<br />

fire and water damage restoration, mold removal, odor<br />

removal, post-construction cleaning, animal damage,<br />

sewage damage and sanitization, trauma clean-up, floor<br />

cleaning services and whole house cleaning.<br />

Employees also specialize in hoarding cleanouts, and<br />

are the only professional cleaners in Maine trained by<br />

extreme cleaner and organizer Matt Paxton of the reality<br />

TV show “Hoarders”. The filming of a hoarding cleanout<br />

at a Lisbon home will be part of an upcoming episode of<br />

“Hoarders”.<br />

Cox used a Small Business Administration loan to<br />

invest $200,000 in the new location to create office<br />

space, build a second floor on one end of the building,<br />

and expand the parking lot.<br />

A special ozone treatment room was built to remove<br />

smoke odors from home or business furnishings. An<br />

ozone machine generates oxygen molecules with an extra<br />

oxygen atom (O3), and the highly reactive molecules<br />

attach themselves to molecules that generate odor. When<br />

attached, the composition of both molecules are changed<br />

and the odor is eliminated.<br />

The franchise has a fleet of 20 vehicles, five of which<br />

are equipped with water removal systems.<br />

ServiceMaster works with business owners to create<br />

a customized, yearlong maintenance program that fits<br />

their budget. Emergency action plans are also developed<br />

to streamline the communication between managers and<br />

employees, and prevent the loss of business after fire or<br />

water damage.<br />

The franchise is able to manage large commercial<br />

emergency jobs that need more attention quickly as part<br />

of a network of New England ServiceMaster franchises<br />

providing mutual aid. These jobs receive a tractor trailer<br />

of equipment and 40-50 cleaning professionals to get a<br />

school, hospital or manufacturing facility back up and<br />

running in as little as 48 hours.<br />

"Auburn welcomes Steve and his ServiceMaster team<br />

of 30 employees to the community, and appreciates his<br />

significant investment re-purposing a building along a<br />

gateway corridor to the city," said Auburn Mayor<br />

Jonathan LaBonte.<br />

Roses are Red, violets are<br />

blue, that's what they say,<br />

but it just isn't true. Because<br />

roses are red, and apples<br />

are too. But violets are violet,<br />

violets aren't blue. An orange<br />

is orange, but greenlands not<br />

green, and a pinky’s not pink.<br />

So what do you mean? To<br />

call something blue when it's<br />

not, we defile it, but ah, what<br />

the heck it's hard to rhyme<br />

violet.<br />

Roses are red, the sky is<br />
