Bella comes back andbarks twice. Jimbosays, "Well I'm notgoing to go out. Sheonly saw two ducks outthere."

Uncle Andy says,"You're going to takethe dog's barks for thetruth?"

Uncle Andy doesn't be-lieve it, so he goes tolook for himself. Whenhe gets back he says,"I don't believe it wheredid you get that dog?There really are onlytwo ducks out there!"

Jimbo says, "Well, I gother from the breederup the road. If youwant, you can get onefrom him, too."

Uncle Andy goes to thebreeder and says hewants a dog like theone his friend Jimbohas. The breederobliges and UncleAndy brings the doghome, tells it to go outand look for ducks.

Minutes later the dogreturns with a stick init's mouth and startswhacking Uncle Andy.

A Request for YOUR HelpWe are GROWING and so is our need for more Board Members! We are coming to our supporters with a great need. As many of youalready know, a board of directors is crucial to a non-profit agency.The success or failure of Habitat is significantly due to our volun-teers. Without a board of directors, there will be no Habitat in An-droscoggin or Oxford County for people to volunteer with. We havebeen blessed with a very hard working, but extremely small, groupof individuals. Those individuals need some assistance in order forus to thrive and grow in Androscoggin and Oxford Counties. We haveto get more individuals involved on a basic and ground level, or bet-ter known as the board of directors. Our current board wants to ensure that Habitat can successfully support the mem-bers and families of Androscoggin and Oxford Counties. WE CAN NOT DO THAT WITHOUT YOUR HELP!!

New board members don’t have to be on the nuts-and-bolts of home construction (though they certainly can if theywish). We are looking for new board members who can meet monthly to help guide our overall efforts for AHFH, and help

attract the people and energy we need to ensure a vibrant, sustainable future for the families we serve. We are looking for individuals who care about the housing needs of low income families, and about

making our community a better place for these hard-working men, women and children. You mightbe a teacher, a student, a business owner or vendor, a corporate officer, a stay-at-home mom or a re-tiree. It doesn't matter what you do for a living, what matters is what you are willing to give back toyour community. We hope for diversity of experience to help make us stronger. Would you be willingto help? Or do you know someone who would be a good addition to the Habitat Board? We appreci-ate all referrals! If you have any questions, or would like to express interest, please call or write Kim Veilleux at [email protected] or 786-2598.

Iron ManSubmitted by Thomas Hill

An owner at a localclub was so sure thathis bouncer was thestrongest man aroundthat he offered a stand-ing $1,000 bet that nocould beat him.

The challenge was thatthe bouncer wouldsqueeze a lemon untilall the juice ran out intoa glass. He would thenhand the lemon to thecustomer, and the firstone who couldsqueeze even onemore drop out of thelemon would win themoney.

Over the years manypeople had tried this,truck drivers, weightlifters, karate masters,and all had failed.

Then one day thisgeeky little fella withheavy black rimmedglasses came into thebar and asked if hecould try the challenge.

After the laughter hadsubsided the clubowner said that it wasonly fair that the manbe given a chance atthe bet, so the bouncerpicked up a lemon andstarted squeezing.

Once he was done, hehanded the remains tothe little man whopromptly squeezed out4 more drops of juiceinto the glass.

“Why don’t you putyour money whereyour mouth is,” he said.“I will bet a week’swages that I can haulsomething in a wheel-barrow over to that out-building that you won’tbe able to wheel back.”

“You’re on, old man,”the braggart replied.“Let’s see what yougot.”

The old man reachedout and grabbed thewheelbarrow by thehandles. Then, noddingto the young man, hesaid, “all right, get in.”

Did You Know?

The first full moon tooccur on the winter sol-stice, Dec. 22, com-monly called the firstday of winter, hap-pened in 1999. Since afull moon on the wintersolstice occurred inconjunction with alunar perigee (point inthe moon's orbit that isclosest to Earth), themoon appeared about14% larger than it doesat apogee (the point init's elliptical orbit that isfarthest from theEarth).

Since the Earth is alsoseveral million milescloser to the sun at thattime of the year than inthe summer, sunlightstriking the moon wasabout 7% strongermaking it brighter. Also,this was the closestperigee of the Moon ofthe year since themoon's orbit is con-stantly deforming. Inplaces where theweather was clear andthere was a snowcover, even car headlights were superfluous.

Tiny Teeth with Important Jobs

Why are your child's babyteeth important if they arejust going to fall out anyway?It may seem obvious thatyour child's teeth allow themto eat and smile, but did youknow that baby teeth are alsoessential for language andpermanent tooth develop-ment? Teeth help our lips andtongue make sounds properlyand this learning occurs whileyour child still has baby teeth.Amazingly, baby teeth alsohelp guide permanent teethinto position, keeping themfrom growing in crooked.

This is why Center StreetDental is excited to be cele-brating National Children'sDental Health Month in Feb-ruary. We will be visitingschools and talking to thekids about the importance ofbrushing, flossing, eatinghealthy, and visiting the den-tist. Unfortunately, dentaldecay is the most commonchronic childhood disease,with more than 16 millionkids suffering from toothdecay in the U.S. (AmericanDental Association).

So keep in mind, it's veryimportant for your child to beintroduced to the dentist earlyto protect their tiny but im-portant teeth!To find out about our “Shar-ing Smiles” poster contestwith scholarship prizes, seepage 50!
