2000-02
African-American History Month

Presidential Proclamation
The following is the complete text of the Proclamation issued by President Clinton on 1/31/2000:

THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release January 31, 2000
NATIONAL AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY MONTH, 2000
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

A PROCLAMATION

Each year during "National African American History Month", as we explore the history and culture of African Americans, we discover anew a treasure of stories about the triumph of the human spirit, inspiring accounts of everyday people rising above the indignities imposed by prejudice. These stories are not only an important part of African American history, but an essential part of American history.
...
Forty years ago this month, a new chapter in African American history was written. On February 1, 1960, four courageous young men - freshmen at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical College in Greensboro - sat down at a segregated lunch counter in a local store and politely refused to leave until they were served. Their nonviolent action challenged a barrier that, symbolically and practically, had separated black and white Americans for decades and denied equal treatment to African American citizens. The extraordinary bravery and determination of Ezell Blair, Jr., Franklin McCain, Joseph McNeil, and David Richmond galvanized young men and women of conscience across America, setting in motion a series of student sit-ins in more than 50 cities and 9 States. Subjecting themselves to verbal abuse, physical violence, and unjust arrest, thousands of black and white students peacefully demonstrated to end segregation in restaurants, theaters, concert halls, and public transportation and called for equality in housing, health care, and education. Their story of conscience and conviction and their ultimate triumph continue to inspire us today.
...
NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim "February 2000" as "National African American History Month". I call upon public officials, educators, librarians, and all the people of the United States to observe this month with appropriate ceremonies, activities, and programs that raise awareness and appreciation of African American history.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirty-first day of January, in the year of our Lord two thousand, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-fourth.

WILLIAM J. CLINTON

Robinson Crusoe Day

...
February 1 is probably best known as the day before the shadow-seeking mammal emerges to predict how long winter will last. But it also is the day that has been designated "Robinson Crusoe Day," to commemorate the anniversary of the rescue in 1709 of Alexander Selkirk.

Groundhog Day
Groundhogese
Punxsutawney Phil
(W3)

Today's celebration — by whatever name — has long been associated with weather predictions. According to a Scottish rhyme, "If Candlemas Day is bright and clear / There'll be two winters in the year." And Americans are familiar with the "Groundhog Day" guarantee—or prediction: "If the groundhog sees his shadow, we will have six more weeks of winter."

"Candlemas" comes from the "candles" blessed and carried in processions during the religious "feast" (or "mass") that originally commemorated the presentation of Christ in the temple.

As for "groundhog", that 18th-century compound comes, as you might have expected, from combining "ground" plus "hog"; and indeed, the grizzled thickset "marmot" is pretty low to the ground. But where does the synonymous (but older) "woodchuck" come from? Although you might guess that 17th-century coinage was created by pairing "wood" with "chuck", it wasn't. "Woodchuck" has an ancestor in an Algonquian word akin to the Narragansett "ockqutchaun"; when Europeans in the New World tried to pronounce that unfamiliar sound, they transformed it into something more familiars to their ears.

"groundhog"; "woodchuck".

American settlers named the "marmot", or "woodchuck" ("Arctomys monax"), the "groundhog", perhaps because this member of the squirrel family seems "hoggish" in the way he burrows through the ground. Or, possibly, "groundhog" is a translation of the Dutch "aardvark" made by Dutch settlers in America, even though the South African "aardvark", or "earth hog", is a larger burrowing animal than the "groundhog". The "groundhog" isn’t a "hog" then, but his other American name, "woodchuck", is no more accurate, for he doesn’t chuck wood, either, a fact even the old tongue twister implies:

“How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?”

"Woodchuck" has no connection with "wood" at all, simply deriving from the Cree Indian word "wuchuk" or "otchock" for another animal, the fisher, or pekan, which early settlers corrupted finally to "woodchuck" and applied through mistaken identity to the "groundhog".

"Groundhog Day".

February 2, when the "groundhog" is supposed to come out of his hole to evaluate the weather. If he sees his shadow winter will last six weeks more; if he doesn’t, there will be an early spring.

...
European Roots (Adapted from "Groundhog Day: 1886 to 1992" by Bill Anderson)

Groundhog Day, February 2nd, is a popular tradition in the United States. It is also a legend that traverses centuries, its origins clouded in the mists of time with ethnic cultures and animals awakening on specific dates. Myths such as this tie our present to the distant past when nature did, indeed, influence our lives. It is the day that the Groundhog comes out of his hole after a long winter sleep to look for his shadow.

If he sees it, he regards it as an omen of six more weeks of bad weather and returns to his hole.
If the day is cloudy and, hence, shadowless, he takes it as a sign of spring and stays above ground.

There was a medieval superstition that all hibernating animals came out on Candlemas to check the weather. If they could see their shadows, it meant that winter would go on for another six weeks. The most famous forecaster in the U.S. is "Punxsutawney Phil", a legendary groundhog in Pennsylvania believed to be nearly a century old. Thousands of people trek up to Phil's burrow on February 2 and get the news directly from him. Numerous events take place in Punxsutawney surrounding February 2, including parties, live entertainment, and a winter carnival.

Groundhog Day...All Over Again

Watching The Good Wife this evening (yes, I'll admit I watch it), I noticed something familiar, a view of a street that looked straight out of "Groundhog Day", one of my favorite movies. A couple minutes research on the 'net and what did I find? It's lifted straight from the film!

Groundhog Day

"Groundhog Day" Or "Groundhog’s Day": What’s The Holiday Really Called?

What is "Groundhog Day"? February 2 marks Groundhog Day. While the frost is still thick on the ground in some places of the country, spring may be on the way. Despite all of the fantastic scientific methods man uses to forecast the weather, Groundhog Day always comes down to a chunky little rodent named "Punxsutawney Phil", supposedly named after King Phillip. In a small Pennsylvania town …

Groundhog Day, Chinese Astronomy, Halloween, May Day, and other Curiosities
...
"Groundhog Day" is commemorated elsewhere, and there are other groundhogs besides "Phil", each promoted by an interested locality; but "Punxsutawney" seems to get the most media attention and is immortalized in the excellent and imaginative movie "Groundhog Day" [1993], with Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell - although the movie was actually shot in Illinois and not in the real "Punxsutawney" in Pennsylvania. The real "Punxsutawney" does have a town square with an old hotel standing on it, the "historic" Pantal Hotel; but "Gobbler's Nob", where the "Groundhog Day" ceremonies are held, is really on a hill outside of town, not in the town square as shown in the movie. "Phil" normally lives in a "habitat" constructed by the Pittsburgh Zoo in the Punxsutawney Public Library, which does happen to be on one side of the town square.
...

Groundhog Day 2000 02.02.2000

Here are some answers to Frequently Asked Questions about the holiday:

• Yes! "Punxsutawney Phil" is the only true weather forecasting groundhog. The others are just impostors.
• How often is "Phil's" prediction correct? 100% of the time, of course!
• How many "Phils" have there been over the years? There has only been one "Punxsutawney Phil". He has been making predictions for over 120 years!
• "Punxsutawney Phil" gets his longevity from drinking the "elixir of life," a secret recipe. "Phil" takes one sip every summer at the Groundhog Picnic and it magically gives him seven more years of life.
• On February 2, "Phil" comes out of his burrow on "Gobbler's Knob" - in front of thousands of followers from all over the world - to predict the weather for the rest of winter.
• According to legend, if "Punxsutawney Phil" sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter weather. If he does not see his shadow, there will be an early spring.
• No! "Phil's" forecasts are not made in advance by the Inner Circle. After "Phil" emerges from his burrow on February 2, he speaks to the Groundhog Club president in "Groundhogese" (a language only understood by the current president of the Inner Circle). His proclamation is then translated for the world.
• The celebration of "Groundhog Day" began with Pennsylvania's earliest settlers. They brought with them the legend of Candlemas Day, which states, "For as the sun shines on Candlemas Day, so far will the snow swirl in May..."
• "Punxsutawney" held its first "Groundhog Day" in the 1800s. The first official trek to Gobbler's Knob was made on February 2, 1887.
• So the story goes, "Punxsutawney Phil" was named after "King Phillip". Prior to being called "Phil", he was called "Br'er Groundhog".

Subtext – Groundhog Day
...
There's an old saying that goes "dying is easy, comedy is hard". I would imagine that "dramedy" or comedy with dramatic subtext is even harder. That's probably why I have so much respect for one of the true comedic geniuses of our time, Bill Murray and his best role was as Phil Connors, the weatherman stuck inside "Groundhog Day".

One X at a time, again

Groundhog Day seems like an appropriate occasion to talk about “One X at a time,” the sloganclone that, like "Punxsutawney Phil", keeps popping up. Year after year I point with alarm. And yet the formula thrives, in sunshine and shadow, in winter, spring, summer, and fall. I feel like such a failure.

If I had to identify the source of all this at-a-timing, I might single out “One Day at a Time,” the Norman Lear sitcom that enjoyed a robust run on network TV (1975–1984) and which last year was revived, with substantial changes – chief among them a Cuban-American family at the center of the action – for Netflix. The second season arrived last week, and a third-season renewal was announced on January 30.

"Stephen Tobolowsky" is a character actor, appearing in small roles in several films every year. In "Groundhog Day", he was "Ned Ryerson", the annoying insurance salesman who pestered "Bill Murray" every morning. In Mememto, he was "Guy Pearce"'s doppelganger. In "Single White Female", he was "Bridget Fonda"'s leering boss. In "Sneakers", he was the "Passport?" guy. In "Thelma & Louise", he was a dogged FBI agent. In "Spaceballs", he was Captain of the Guard.

Quotations for "Groundhog Day"

Groundhog Day

...
The earliest American reference to "Groundhog Day" can be found at the Pennsylvania Dutch Folklore Center at Franklin and Marshall College:

February 4, 1841 - from Morgantown, Berks County (Pennsylvania) storekeeper James Morris' diary... "Last Tuesday, the 2nd, was "Candlemas day", the day on which, according to the Germans, the "Groundhog" peeps out of his winter quarters and if he sees his shadow he pops back for another six weeks nap, but if the day be cloudy he remains out, as the weather is to be moderate."

Groundhog Day

Saturday, February 02, 2013

Today is "Groundhog Day". Also known as a "woodchuck", the animal is basically a squirrel on steroids. It is a "rodent" [dt. "Nagetier"], which means that it "gnaws" [dt. "nagen"] incessantly.

The word "rodent" comes from the Latin verb "rodere", "to gnaw", "eat away", or "erode". It started off meaning "corrosive", then "erosive", then became a "classification for gnawing mammals". Common words based on the Latin verb include "corrode", "erode", the aforementioned "rodent", and "rostrum". "Rostrum"?!

I was startled to see "rostrum" in the list when I did a wildcard search on the online Oxford English Dictionary. It’s a platform or stage, a structure used by public speakers or by music conductors. But how does that fit in with "gnawing"? It turns out that the original "rostrum" stood in the Forum of ancient Rome. It was decorated with the beakheads of captured warships. "Beaks" . . . "gnawing" — there’s the connection.

"quarter day"

Accounts Receivable Word of the Day:

And you thought today was just "Groundhog Day"! North of the border (that would be the England / Scotland border) today is better known as one of the "quarter days", the four of which divide the year into quarters and on which certain payments were historically due.

Friday, February 2nd

"Candlemas"

Festive Occasions Word of the Day:

The day is rife with calendrical significance. Honors go to "Candlemas" for being the most august of the day's celebrations, marking the Purification of the Virgin. But it's also a "cross-quarter day" (midway between equinox and "solstice"), and who can overlook the fact that it's "Groundhog Day", with a full moon to boot!

...
History

The "groundhog" ("Marmota monax") is a rodent of the family Sciuridae, belonging to the group of large ground squirrels.

The observance of "Groundhog Day" in the United States first occurred in German communities in Pennsylvania, according to known records.

The earliest mention of "Groundhog Day" is an entry on February 2, 1840, in the diary of James L. Morris of Morgantown, in Pennsylvania Dutch Country, according to the book on the subject by Don Yoder. This was a Welsh enclave but the diarist was commenting on his neighbors who were of German stock.
...
Punxsutawney today

The largest "Groundhog Day" celebration is held in "Punxsutawney", Pennsylvania, where crowds as large as 40,000 gather each year (nearly eight times the year-round population of the town). The average draw had been about 2,000 until the 1993 movie "Groundhog Day", which is set at the festivities in Punxsutawney, after which attendance rose to about 10,000. The official "Phil" is pretended to be a supercentenarian, having been the same forecasting beast since 1887. In 2019, the 133rd year of the tradition, the groundhog was summoned to come out at 7:25 am on February 2, but did not see its shadow. Fans of Punxsutawney Phil awaited his arrival starting at 6:00 a.m., thanks to a live stream provided by Visit Pennsylvania. The live stream has been a tradition for the past several years, allowing more people than ever to watch the animal meteorologist.
...
Origins

The Pennsylvania Dutch were immigrants from German-speaking areas of Europe. The Germans already had a tradition of marking "Candlemas" (February 2) as "Badger Day" ("Dachstag"), where if a badger emerging found it to be a sunny day thereby casting a shadow, it foreboded the prolonging of winter by four more weeks.
...

"The Dismemberment Plan": According to lead singer Travis Morrison, this Washington, DC band's name was inspired by part of a line in the movie "Groundhog Day", in which "[t]here's a guy who chases after Bill Murray and tries to keep selling him different types of insurance and "the dismemberment plan" was one of them. It just stuck."

"The Dismemberment Plan" was a Washington D.C. based indie rock band formed on January 1, 1993. Also known as "D-Plan" or "The Plan", the name came from a stray phrase uttered by insurance salesman Ned Ryerson in the popular comedy "Groundhog Day".

Murmeltiertag
Murmeltierisch

Murmeltiertag - In den USA feiert man am 2.Februar den "Groundhog Day", also den Tag des Murmeltiers
...
Der Tag und sein dazugehöriger Brauch stammen von einem alten Mythos, der besagt, überwinternde Tiere würden bei ihrem Hervorkommen die Ankunft des Frühlings vorherzusagen daher stammt als auch die Legende, wenn das Murmeltier "Phil" bei seinem ersten Ausblick aus dem Erdloch einen Schatten wirft, wird der Region noch für mindestens sechs Wochen der harte Winter bleiben. Ist demgegenüber aber kein Schatten zu sehen, so beginnt der Frühling

Viele tausend Besucher strömen jedes Jahr in der Nacht vom 1. auf den 2. Februar nach Punxsutawney, um dort zu erleben, wie der Vorsitzende des Murmeltiervereins Phil aus seinem Winterschlaf in einem Baumstumpf weckt und dann exklusiv von diesem erfährt, ob er beim Erwachen seinen Schatten gesehen hat oder nicht.

Punxsutawney ist eine Kleinstadt im US-Bundesstaat Pennsylvania.

International bekannt geworden sind Punxsutawney und der Murmeltiertag 1993 durch den Kinofilm "Und täglich grüßt das Murmeltier" (Originaltitel: "Groundhog Day") mit Bill Murray und Andie MacDowell in den Hauptrollen.

Murmeltier "Phil" verrät uns den Frühlingsbeginn

Und täglich grüßt das Murmeltier: Alljährlich pilgern rund 30.000 Besucher nach Punxsutawney (Pennsylvania) und warten, ob Murmeltier "Phil" einen Schatten wirft.
...
Einmal im Jahr wird Murmeltier "Phil" zum Weltstar und eine kleine amerikanische Gemeinde rückt in die Schlagzeilen. An diesem Freitag (2. Februar) ist es wieder so weit. Dann ist "Groundhog Day", der Murmeltiertag, an dem Amerika und der Rest der Welt erfahren, wann der Frühling Einzug hält.
...
Filmhit:
Willkommen in Punxsutawney im US-Staat Pennsylvania. Wer den Namen der 6.000-Seelen-Gemeinde aussprechen will, liegt mit "Panxatoni" ungefähr richtig. Spätestens seit dem Filmhit "Und täglich grüßt das Murmeltier" von 1993, der auch in Europa zum Kinoschlager wurde, ist der Ort weit über die USA hinaus ein Begriff.
Im Mittelpunkt der Komödie steht ein ichbezogener TV-Meteorologe (Bill Murray), der es leid ist, alle Jahre wieder für seine Fernsehstation über den "Groundhog Day" aus Punxsutawney berichten zu müssen. Zur Strafe bleibt für ihn die Zeit sozusagen stehen. Jeden Morgen wacht er auf um zu erfahren, dass es wieder der 2. Februar ist, wieder der "Murmeltier-Tag". Erst als sich der Egozentriker läutert und die wahren Werte im Leben erkennt, bricht für ihn der 3. Februar an.
...
Die alljährliche Tradition an Maria Lichtmess - ungefähr in der Mitte zwischen dem kalendarischen Winter- und Frühlingsanfang - geht auf das 19. Jahrhundert zurück. Brauchtumsforscher glauben, dass sie ihren Ursprung in Legenden amerikanischer Ureinwohner und deutscher Siedler hat, die dann miteinander verschmolzen. Danach glaubte ein seinerzeit in Punxsutawney lebender Indianerstamm, dass seine Vorfahren Murmeltiere waren. Die christlichen Siedler wiederum brachten die "Weisheit" mit, dass ein Murmeltier an Maria Lichtmess aus dem Winterschlag aufwacht und sich wieder für weitere sechs Wochen in seinen Bau zurückzieht, wenn es seinen Schatten sieht.
...
120 Jahre alt:

Wurde der "Groundhog Day" erstmals 1841 im Tagebuch eines Geschäftsbesitzers in Pennsylvania erwähnt, pilgerten die Menschen zum ersten Mal am 2. Februar 1887 offiziell nach Gobbler's Knob, um ihren "Punxsutawney Phil" zu wecken. So lange gibt es ihn schon, und das macht ihn stolze 120 Jahre alt. Zu verdanken hat "Phil" seine ungewöhnlich lange Lebensdauer - das Natur-Lexikon etwa räumt Murmeltieren nur bis zu 15 Jahre ein - einem nach einem Geheimrezept zusammengebrauten Lebenselixier. "Phil" schlürft das jeden Sommer und gewinnt damit jedes Mal sieben weitere Lebensjahre, wie der "Groundhog Club" auf seiner offiziellen Webseite verrät. Da verbietet es sich natürlich von vornherein zu fragen, wie viele "Phils" es mittlerweile gegeben hat. Dick und rund waren sie alle.
...
Das Prozedere

"Phils" Prognose wird feierlich verkündet, nachdem er sie dem jeweiligen Präsidenten des Führungszirkels zugemurmelt hat - wie könnte er auch anders. Nur der "Chef" persönlich - das ist zur Zeit Bill Cooper - kann die auf "Groundhogesisch", sprich auf Murmeltierisch, mitgeteilte Botschaft verstehen und übersetzt sie dann für alle Welt ins Englische.

"Und täglich grüßt das Murmeltier" (Originaltitel: "Groundhog Day") ist eine US-amerikanische Filmkomödie aus dem Jahr 1993. Bill Murray spielt darin einen arroganten, egozentrischen und zynischen Wetteransager, der in einer Zeitschleife festsitzt und ein und denselben Tag immer wieder erlebt, bis er als geläuterter Mann sein Leben fortsetzen kann. Regie führte Harold Ramis.

Aber der Februar ließ mich erzittern
Mit jeder Zeitung, die ich austrug
Legte ich schlechte Nachrichten vor die Haustreppen
Ich konnte keine weitere Stufe mehr nehmen
Ich weiß nicht mehr, ob ich geweint habe
Als ich von der jungen Witwenbraut las
Aber tief in mir hat es mich berührt
Der Tag an dem diese Musik starb

But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died, so

With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew that I was out of luck
