and Kristopher Putt, 18, were driving their new Nissans around Alameda, California, when one of them ran a stop sign and smashed into the other, sending the car spinning into a house. Neither driver was hurt, according to police Lt.

rtfifGILBERf PUZZLE

i Its the most talked about, least reported S story in town. How come Bill Gilbert didn't I make the finals in the search for the new C E O • job at the Mary Fanny, the state's largest hospiH tal, after two years as executive vice-president? As insiders know, Gilbert's ascension was I looking pretty much wired. His resume was per9 feet, with stints as Public Service Board chairman • and Gov. Dick Snelling's adming istration secretary preceding his • Statehouse lobbyist career. He 1 was a successful partner at 1 Downs Rachlin & Martin, the • hospital's law firm and roost for i Republican National Committee * member, Allen Martin. In fact, if I you throw in Dick Mallary, Sara | Gear and Ruth Stokes — all | high-profile Vermont I Republicans and hospital trustees 1 — one could reasonably expect i the ol' skids to be greased for | Billy Boy at the W G O P of hosI pitals. But that's not the way it I played out. Gilbert got a major public snubbing from the search 1 committee, and his days are now I numbered on Hospital Hill. I Gilbert's a very popular chap I and has many friends. But it was * the one guy who will never be • his friend who's getting the credI it for cutting short Gilbert's 8 health-care career. Sources tell • Inside Track that early on in his _ trek into the wonderful world of • health care, Gilbert locked horns with Ed I Connors, the chairman of the board. Gilbert, • we're told, figured he had the smarts to outflank • Connors. But Connors is a tough Irishman a from Chicago. He was the chairman of the * board of the American Hospitals Association. 1 He's been around hospitals all his life and he I wasn't about to roll over for a hospital rookie • like Prince William. As one board member told Inside Track, "it • was not a warm relationship from the begin1 ning." Some say Gilbert simply underestimated 1 Connors' strength and political smarts. • The only board member who would speak « on the record, Dick Mallary, said Gilbert's fail® ure to make the cut "should not be taken as 1 reflecting negatively on his performance." | Clavelle s Law — Last week's cop crackdown I o n bad conduct in City Hall Park did not just I happen out of the blue. The local gendarmes made the park a priori1 ty and had as many as seven undercover officers | at a time dedicated to that prize piece of down• town real estate. They were conducting surveilI lance from the basement of City Hall, shooting "video, and made a number of pinches. Most 8 important, they made the scruffhounds aware | that they're no longer operating in an "anything 1 goes" zone. I The guy who lit the fire under BPD's butt * — or rather the chief of police's butt — was • none other than Mayor Peter Clavelle. In a I Sepember 26 memo to Chief Kevin Scully, I Mayor Pedro made it perfectly clear it was high a time Scully's troops got off the dime and did a something. "I personally have witnessed a preva• lence of activity — both illegal and intimidating 1 — that is making the park a place to avoid," 1 wrote Clavelle. "I know the Burlington Police a Department has been aware of the problem. I g understand that a police operation to deal with • park issues was planned earlier this summer, but 1 not put into effect. It's time to take back our | park," wrote Clavelle. "What steps can the | Police Department take toward achieving this I goal and when can we expect action?" Answer: in one week. We're told Scully him-

self led the charge on opening day. Hiding Not Allowed — A couple weeks ago f Burlap's City Council very quietly and discreet- | ly weighed in on the Burlington Women's Council controversy. You'll recall Peggy Luhrs * 5 and several Progs vehemently objected to the presence of Ch. 17's camera at BWC meetings. § They argued the BWC meetings in City Hall | were not subject to the state's open-meeting law. So much for open government, eh? Luhrs * even yanked the Ch. 17 plug 1 out of the wall. Last month the council qui- | etly passed a resolution, spon- g 8 sored by Sharon Bushor, that made it perfectly clear "all enti- i ties occupying space in City Hall on a regular and continu- g ing basis shall operate subject to g Vermont's Open Meeting Law." * The vote was unanimous. I On another front, Ms. Luhrs' raging, angry screed in | the September issue of Out In » the Mountains, Vermont's Forum for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues, drew uniform disproval g in the October issue's letters forum. "Does Ms. Luhrs really seem to suggest that as gay people no one has the right to criticize or disagree with us?" asks one writer. "Are we above responsibility for our actions? Because it would be bad for the gay community? That sounds a bit repressive to me." You got a point there, buddy. Luhrs' prime target, BWC Director Jennifer Matthews, received solid backing and kudos from several others, including Virginia Renfew. One hat Renfew wears is that of Co-Liaison for the Vermont Coalition for Lesbian and Gay Rights. LeClair Watch — Did Vermont's Iceman cometh in spades Saturday night in Montreal, or what? John LeClair had just one goal going into the French capital of North America. He's had a slow start — so slow the Montreal Gazette put him in their "Who's Hot? Who's Not?" box, noting he had just a 5 percent scoring average, i.e., one goal on 20 shots to date this season. Think LeClair read the Gazette before lacing 'em up and scoring a hat trick? After the game he was the NHL's leading scorer. Dean Watch 2000 — Out in Iowa they're finally waking up to the Dean Machine. David Yepsen, star columnist for the Des Moines Register reported Friday that Ho-Ho "said he is planning additional trips to Iowa to help elect" a Democratic governor. Yepsen writes that top Iowa Dems who have met with Vermont's governor "say they consider him a potential candidate" for 2000. No kidding. C'mon, Yepsen, get with the program. Bashful Jack Update — Since last week's column on Massachusetts' businessman, Bashful Jack McMullen, there have been several interesting developments. Despite having his secretary tell Inside Track Mr. McMullen is not presently interested in running against Patrick Leahy, Vermont G O P executive director Ruth Stokes told the Rutland Herald McMullen is in "a decision-making mode" as far as next year's Vermont U.S. Senate race goes. And then Inside Track learned this week that Bashful Jack registered to vote in Burlington, Vermont, last Friday He gave a Howard Street address. Hey, welcome to Vermont, Mr. McMullen! Surely Pat Leahy's senate seat is yours for the taking. Spend like a drunken sailor and you should have no problem overcoming the "car- « petbagger" image. ®

So its October already and this is National Coming Out Week, or Coming Out Month, or something. I can't keep these things straight, if you'll pardon the expression. All I know is I'm scheduled to "perform" tonight at UVM — T wonder what they mean by that? —• in a program of "coming out" stories described in press releases as "blow-by-blow accounts of the moment of truth." I hate to disappoint everybody, now that being "out" is so flippin fashionable, but in my case there isn't a "moment" to remember. As a gay man brought up in the 1950s and '60s, I was squeezed out of the closet like toothpaste out of the tube, desperately pushing the junk back to the bottom of the roll until I just couldn't help myself and squirted all over the bathroom mirror. What I'm proposing instead of all this "outing" is some good, old-fashioned "inning." Back you go, all you nasty subcultural scavengers, until you can prove you've learned that homosexuality isn't a commodity to be bought, sold, advertised and displayed — not unless you're ready to follow through with the tease, that is. Anyone who's really out, I want to stay out. Anyone posing as out, I want to push back in. At this writing, America is exploding in an epidemic of what my lover John calls "Marky-Marxism" — the dismaying spectacle of dreary, nipple-tweaked heterosexuals slinging their jeans down to their knees and biting their lips with a streetwise, come-hither-man gaze that, in the end, says nothing but, "Huh?" Or maybe, "Kewl!" Marky Mark — though now, of course, he calls himself Mark Wahlberg — is currently on the cover of OUT, the "innest" magazine homosexuals have in the Wonder Bread years. What gives, I'd like to know? These interchangeable, deadeyed drones are exploiting a mystery and a mystique they know nothing about. The dangerous thrill of same-sex sex, once highly prized by its true practitioners, has lately become so much Madison As a gay man Avenue pablum — Miracle Whip as opposed to Hollandaise sauce or brought up in the whipped cream, v ; v : ' 1950'sand '60's,l realOh, I've got all sorts of people I'd like to push "in" unless they're was squeezed out of willing to come farther "out."

Do people imagine for a pushing the junk single minute that she and "gal-pal" back to the bottom Penny Marshall aren't exchanging of the roll until I just beaver jokes between takes? It's the same with Richard Gere. The gerbil jokes notwithstanding, and in spite of all those brainless blondes who are literally glued to his arm at photo-ops, this American Gigolo had better open his mail or take down his shingle. I used to see Richard at Joe Allen's in London in the early '80s, when he was there filming King David with a cast of thousands. He used to come in late to dinner, accompanied by a small army of identical Gere clones in leather and musk, whom he passed off as his "stand-ins." Such conversation as I overheard from the next table was not, shall we say, about bust size. Now, if Geres hair gets any more coiffed and fluffy it'll rival Cindy Crawford's. Maybe that's why they got a divorce. But don't get me going on the supermodels. If there's one among them who isn't "Sapphic," at least by affectation, no one at the fashion magazines knows anything about it. In their defense, these girls get paid a bundle to be dumbly ambisexual ~*"r"' the suggestion or outright depiction of beautiful babes "making it" with each other apparently being the highest turn-on that, a straight man can conceive of on this earth.

mutually curious, which makes for some interesting anthropological exchange. Drawn by his curmugeonly charm, Picoe one day finds herself admiring some "antique" tools in his barn. "What's that?" she asks. "A corn cutter," he replies, explaining its agricultural use as the camera rolls. The auger, apple peel and antique potty chair get similar treatment, until she pops the eponymous question — "George, do you think I'm a nosey parker?" — not knowing how thoroughly he has been researching her life. "No, I don't think so," he replies convincingly. "How are you going to find anything out if you don't ask?"

t k i f ou need good directions to find the Tunbridge headquarters of Vermont filmmaker John O'Brien, and a special escort to locate the cast and crew on a sunny Sunday afternoon at Cold Spring Farm in Chelsea. But you know you're hot on the trail of O'Brien's new film, Nosey Parker, when Fred Tuttle crops up in his own cornfield, with no promotional materials, and almost forgets to wave. Life is finally getting back to normal for the septuagenarian star of O'Brien's last movie, Man With a Plan — unless you count an unexpected visit last month by a couple of Burlington drag queens. But after two years on the road promoting the movie that made him an icon, the aging actor Tuttle is troubled by one thing — that his "recurring" role in Nosey is not the starring one. "He doesn't have as much to say as Fred [did], but what he does say is better quality," O'Brien says of George Lyford, who plays the leading lister in the third and final film of his "Tunbridge Trilogy." Another difference? Seventy-twoyear old Lyford would rather be haying than hamming it up. Celebrity is not his goal, although he is definitely Bogeyesque. "No. No way," he says, gesturing toward the barn, the greasy grooves on his face rerouting into a smile. "I just want to do this." "This" is a stunning hillside farm between Chelsea and Vershire, where Lyford manages forest, pastureland and a sugarhouse, and used to run a fullscale dairy operation. It is also the location for the scene he plays with Natalie Picoe, a professional actress who portrays the female flatlander in Nosey. Her improvisational skills are coming in handy — O'Brien never works with a script. "I say, 'John, what do you want me to do?' He says, 'Just improvise,' Picoe explains. "I say,

helsea, like Peacham, seems to be a magnet for moviemakers. But in action, its two most enthusiastic clients — Jay Craven and John O'Brien — are miles apart. O'Brien explodes all the myths about tyrannical moviemakers. There is nobody with a megaphone barking orders on the set of Nosey Parker in the fifth week of shooting — especially on a Sunday with a skeleton crew. Lunch arrives with O'Briens sister Molly, and the kitchen conversation wanders from escaped cows to snowmobiles to a postcard O'Brien sent Lyford from Saskatchewan five years ago. When he is not on the "job," or the tractor, Lyford sits listening to fiddle music in his pickup truck. His side mirror is the next best thing to a "makeup" department. Everything is unorthdox about the way O'Brien directs, from the way he casts his nonactors — he looks for a combination of natural charisma and free time — to the terminology he uses. He says "slate" instead of "cut" and never yells "action." He never yells, period. He just lets the camera run, much longer than most directors. Actors rave about his patience. "Most movie sets are run like an army, with a trickledown, pyramidal structure," O'Brien says. "I prefer a more Seven Samurai approach, where 10 people all do a number of chores and add something to the final product." Up until Nosey Parker, O'Brien handled his own camera. That task has since been delegated to a professional, which gives O'Brien a chance Continued on page 32

Speaking of Halloween, it's time to start planning your outfit. But what I want to know is, who's going to have the wildest party? Both Zola Turn and Strangefolk are celebrating their new CDs on the Hallows Eve, at Toast and the Barre Opera House, respectively. Goth girls or phantoms of the opera — you choose. But chances are, the most outrageous costumes — and behavior — will be flaunted at 135 Pearl, which is hosting a two-night party. One is simply not enough. Friday night Craig Mitchell is deejaying as usual, with Little Martin on Saturday. But the party doesn't stop when the bar shuts down, no sirree. The after-hours gala goes "until people are done," says Mitchell. Hmmm...as in baked? Friday night Mitchell s dedicating one hour to recording his spins for a New York-based house music label. Both nights, expect guest musicians, go-go dancers and, of course, costume contests. And, hey, dressing in drag is simply not good enough. $250 goes to the most outri, each night, with runner-up prizes galore. Ghoul for it.

A-DRIVIN' THEY WILL GO Burlington's Adantic

Co-founder and lead guitarist of the British rock group The Kinks, and one of the most successful and influential songwriters of the "60s, Ray Davies comes to Burlington with his intimate "unplugged" performance, featuring some of the top ten hit songs he wrote and recorded. Hear "You Really Got Me," "Lola," "Apeman," and "Come Dancing," along with reminiscences of the band's history, and excerpts from his autobiography X-Ray.

What is it about hardcore bands that makes them prone to breaking up when they finally put out a CD? The latest is Pittsburgh's Hobnail, who headline a show at The Strand Thursday night as part of that theater's Fall Music Festival (and an eclectic one it is, featuring everything from Gershwin to gangsta rap). Actually, I don't know if it's their first CD, but whatever. Our own Non Compos Mentis shares the bill — and comes home with the bass player. Yep, Hobnail's fourstring man — whom N C M "secret" vocalist Jeff Howlett will reveal only as "Dan" — is joining Burlington's hardest, and he doesn't have his code name yet. Why all the secrecy? Maybe something to do with the band name, duh. Besides, it makes every show like Halloween. Anyway, stay tuned for NCM's own C D release party next Wednesday at Toast, with locals Chainsaws and Children and Maryland's rip-roarin' Clutch. And don't forget to Smile When You Hate. Everyone else does.

Crossing are traditional and proud of it. It's the early music of the British Isles, Canada and New England that inspires this trio — Viveka Fox on fiddle and bodhran, Rick Klein on guitar and vocals, and Brian Perkins on bouzouki, banjo and vocals — and has gathered Celtlovin' clans to their local shows. This weekend, Atlantic will be crossing state lines: They've been invited to play at the New Haven (Connecticut) Contra Dance, a presti-

gious monthly do that, says Perkins, "always gets good bands." But if six hours in a car is not your idea of a good time, you can see the band off at a dance this Friday at the Champlain Club instead. Clogs optional.

THE AGONY OF DE FEET

Ifyou missed Jamaican rastaman Luciano last Wednesday at Toast, you only have to wait till November 13 to bask in his righteous rhythms. But you'd better send him positive vibrations to heal up the gash in his foot — the injury that put his U.S. tour on hold. "He's total Ital everything," says Toast co-owner Dennis Wygmans. "He doesn't believe in Western medicine." Luciano also doesn't believe in shoes — hence the cut — which is why you'll never see him up here in the winter. November, in fact, is pushing it. Put your mittens together, people, for the man.

HAPPY DAYS

Swanton bluesman Nobby Reed isn't too blue these days. The East Coast Muscle guitarist put out a C D of his own stuff nearly a year ago. He's been selling 'em in dribs and drabs, at gigs, free concerts in the park, at the Sunoco station where he works, etc. Guitar on My Back was reviewed on these pages a while back. Reed also sent it to the West Virginia-based magazine, Blues Revue. For three months, nada. Suddenly, his title turns up on a list of in-house favorites by the magazine's reviewers. Specifically, it's a feature called "Thought You Might Be Curious," which lists "the 10 most-listened-to CDs for the month," says Reed. "I came in at number five." The winner of the Advance Music Guitar Summit is justifiably proud. If you haven't checked out the CD, try Pure Pop in Burlington, The Jukebox in St. Albans, or other record stores that carry local music. Way to go, Nobby.

BACK ON TRACK

Spandex, anyone? Guess it's too soon for an '80s revival, but Run 21 is having a reunion, anyway. Bassist Jimmy Carter, drummer Stet Howland and guitarist Dug Blair gave the music biz a run for its money — the all-original power trio toured the Northeast circuit nonstop for 11 years, with big gear, big lights, a big sound and big hair. Made an LP in '85 called Flat Blank Parts. Dreamed of the Big Time. Then about five years ago, they went their separate ways; Howland has toured the world with Blackfoot and, mostly, W.A.S.P. Blair lives in Hartford and has registered several patents on guitar advancements — he makes a custom double-necked thing called the Blair Mutant Twin. Alter 14 years in Connecticut himself, Carter moved his family back to Burlington, and has been busy gigging with Mr. French, Be That Way, Russ & Co. and Mango Jam. Though he's finished trying to be a rock star, Carter — who now goes by the monicker

SUITE

Fans in the '90s who

know Link Wray's distinctive guitar megatonnage only from the soundtracks of Pulp Fiction, Independence Day and the cult sleeper, Johnny Suede, are missing a huge chunk of rock 'n' roll history. Wray, now 68, literally invented distortion, among other guitar effects that came to define the sound of rebellion. There's no difference "between me and Nirvana," says the father of the power chord. Just 40-odd years. The halfShawnee native of North Carolina ventures from his home in Denmark to serve up fuzztone at Toast this Monday.

w c - r e i ^ d , CD) - The remarkable thing about Seth Yacovone, as every Vermonter must know by now, is not so much what he does, but that he started doing it at such a tender age. Still several years before he can legally belly up to the bar, Yacovone sounds like, no, is, a seasoned veteran. And that thing he does is the blues. Rollicking, uptempo Chicago blues. Allman-esque roadhouse blues. Slow and sultry blues. Needle-nosed single-note solos. Blistering, highend wails and runs. Stratocaster fever. Remarkably, Yacovones voice fits the requirements of the genre: His is a full-bodied rasp that sounds like he sneaked butts and whiskey throughout childhood to acquire it. Like his contemporaries Derek Trucks, Jonny Lang and Monster Mike Welch, Yacovone has followed an unusual passion — exemplified by the fact that you can count teenaged blues prodigies on one hand. No hip-hop, techno or rock for this lad; he names his heroes right on the C D sleeve, from Luther Allison to Stevie Ray Vaughan. Not to mention Clinton and Zappa. And Yacovone cops them perfectly, including a commendable variety of feels already done many times by many artists before him. And that is exactly why its hard to be truly | blown away by this collection: It's damn hard to sound new in this - tradition-bound genre, even as a fresh-faced teen. It simply sounds the way you expect the blues to sound. That said, it must be noted that all the songs are originals — 12 by Yacovone and two by Luke Boggess — and performed extremely well. Yacovone produced his debut CD, too, with the expert hands and ears of Chuck Eller as engineer. Curiously, the mix on this disc seems to get better as it progresses) as if the first song or so were a sound check. Boggess is Yacovone s match on Butterfield-style harmonica; the well-greased rhythm team is Adam Kay on drums and Tommy Coggio on bass. I'm partial to the funked-up tunes like "Out of My Way," "happy," horn-filled stuff like "I Need a Change," or grit like "Fix It Man," even though the latter is classic, pour-another-drink walkin blues. The gospel-tinged "Blossom Will My Tree" — with Hammond organ by Chuck EUer, sax work from Joe Moore, Matt Clancy and Stuart Kessler, and back-up vocals from Nancy Toulis, Patty Morse and Joy Seadeek — is in some ways the most moving and mature work here, reminiscent of Joe Cocker. Stuff of this ckltber suggests that the Wolcott whiz-kid will live up to the promise of his young talent. The Seth Yacovone Blues Band plays Friday at Metronome. ®

Back came the response last week — from a Vermont broadcasting executive, and garnished with all sorts of Florentine elegances and courtesies — that perhaps I was conflating vulgarity with AM radio's sincere and deeply committed identification with proletarian America.

What a donkey I was, to just not get it that radio isn't being smutty for the sake of raising its ad revenues on shock value — radio is bonding with the Common Man! Maybe something productive can come out of this whole set-to after all. Because it just so happens that right here in Middlebury, where 1 live, one can turn on the local AM station and listen to radio's ultimate "common man" — not only in Vermont, but perhaps in the whole United States of America. I am talking about a guy who not only wakes up every day, works, pays taxes and raises a family. I am talking about a guy who literally walked across the boundary one day between being a radio listener and a radio broadcaster because he wanted to be in L touch with his fellow proles.

and contraction of the wood in reaction to changes in moisture and temperature. This inflexible installation resulted in cracking and warping, particularly as the panels dried following a soaking caused by a 1985 room sprinkler malfunction, and by a steam valve rupture five years later. Le Chateau was chosen as the site for the Salon Louis XVI, as the paneled room is known, because it was reserved at that time for students who were honing their language skills by speaking to one another only in French. Middlebury had by that time earned a reputation as one of the finest U.S. institutions for the teaching of French language and culture. These were the attributes that inspired Susan Bliss to donate the panels that had been acquired by her father, George Bliss, in 1905. A part-

tings, the duke's boudoir, was given to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1944 when Bliss' New York townhouse was subdivided into apartments. That room at the Met is the only other example in the United States of interi' or work by the French architect and designer Pierre Adrien Paris. He had been commissioned by the due d'Aumont to create the drawings on the doors and panels that are now in Middlebury's possession. The duke had admired Paris' designs in fetes, operas and funerals for the royal court in the years leading up to the French Revolution. Paris worked under the due d'Aumont, who held the title of First Gentleman of the King's Bedchamber, in the state organization responsible for produc-

actually avant-garde for its time. The grand style of the public rooms that Paris designed for the duke's mansion does have a certain decadent quality. The huge public dining room, for instance, contained a sarcophagus in the ancient style that served as a wine cooler. Similarly, a faux antique altar was installed for the purpose of concealing a heating stove. Figures of nymphs with cornucopias served as candelabras in the room's niches. By contrast, the Salon Louis XVI is intimate and subdued in its design. Paris outfitted this smaller-scale private dining room with the intricate grisaille renderings of lyres, garlands and ribbons now beautifully restored on the Middlebury panels. The exhibit itself is handsomely presented. In addition to the actual wooden walls, a series of photographs and informative text panels help deepen viewers' appreciation of Middlebury's good fortune in acquiring — and saving — this unique 220-yearold interior. ®

Formed 18 months ago by Moreau along with John Fisher and Paul Landry, French-Canadian genealogists from Burlington and Essex Junction, the group maintains a genealogical library and offers help and advice for fellow French-Canadian roots researchers. Four times a month, Society members meet in the basement of the St.

when, he observes, "The number of - J families was a durn sight fewer." What's more, Moreau explains, priests in New France were required by law to keep written accounts of every birth, death and marriage taking place in their parishes. These church records contain a wealth of information that's not as readily available to other ethnic

and local genealogical expert Veronique Gassette. Compared to the. work needed to study other ethnic groups, FrenchCanadian research is relatively easy, according to Moreau. He began investigating his own family ancestry 20 years ago, tracing it back eight or nine generations to the 16th century in France,

making some inquiries, Clavel discovered that the balding guy on the screen was a not-so-distant cousin he'd never known existed: Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle. Among French-Canadians, it's a small world. Quebecois genealogist David Toupin estimates that most of the 20 million people worldwide who claim French-Canadian ancestry are descendants from just 10,000 original settlers. As South Burlington genealogist John Moreau puts it, "If you've got any French-Canadian in you, you're going to find a cousin not too far from your elbow." Even within such a compact group, however, familial relations aren't always obvious. Last year, Peter Clavelle's first cousin David, the self-appointed genealogist for the Vermont Clavelle family, received a call from a Louisiana woman. Chris Clavelle said she'd entered a hospital emergency room, where the triage nurse had recognized her last name from her former home in Burlington. "She never realized there were any Clavelles in Vermont, and we didn't know there were any in Louisiana" says David. Both now hope to find out if their separate family threads lead back to a common Canadian forbearer. Tracing a family tree back through the generations can be an arduous task. Fortunately for people like David Clavelle, the Vermont French-Canadian Genealogical Society is there to help.

One major genealogical roadblock for FrenchCanadian Vermonters turns out to be the U.S. border.

Canadian name. But even for those who successfully cross the border, obstacles await. One hurdle is the "dit" name — the nickname taken on as a second surname. Senecal says the custom originated from an initiation ritual among the Carignan soldiers who originally settled in New France. Dit names may have described where a person lived, distinguishing Henry Paquette dit LaRiviere (who lived near the river) from his cousin Henry Paquette dit

parishioners. Guindon became Yandow, Benoit became Benway. The soft French "ch" turned Choiniere into Jouinaire, or the Irish-sounding Sweenier. Other changes resulted from misinterpretation: Though many Vermonters are named St. Onge, no such saint ever existed. The name comes from Saintonge, a region near Bordeaux in France. Confusion can also arise from names that were translated into English, especially when the translation was in error. Racine was correctly translated into Root, as was Courtemanche into Shortsleeve. But Brodeur ("embroiderer") became Brothers, and Lafleur ("the flower") became Miller (as in "flour"). Lafebvre, one of the most common names in France, is literally the French equivalent of Smith. But by the early 1800s, when so many Quebecois emigrated to this country, few people remembered the archaic term for blacksmith. Instead, they interpreted la febvre as the legume, la five, and changed their name to Bean. Whitebook's findings will be included in The Dictionary of American Family Names (Oxford University Press), a work that should help many stalled genealogists get past mangled spellings and assimilationist mistakes to the original

Lavallee (who lived in the valley). Others might have taken the wife's family name, acquired a descriptive phrase

like "drinks wine" (Boisvin), or adopted a military reference such as Bombardier. Dit names flourished in the 16th and 17th centuries, but in the early 1800s, people began to drop either one name or the other, a habit that simplified their lives

but complicated those of their curious descendants. With as many as 50 dit names associated with a single family name, these monikers can make a genealogist's job much more difficult. But they can also be an asset. "They can help you to know that you're on the right track," says Gassette. "There

are thousands of Paquettes, for example, and it's easy to go up the wrong branch." Not everyone is cut out for genealogy, says Fisher, who caught the bug in 1978 after reading a newspaper article on the subject. The meticulous, often tedious research requires a high level of organization, patience and interest. For those who are suited to the task, however, it quickly becomes an obsession. "If you get the disease there's no cure," Moreau adds. "It's unique in that the sicker you get, the more you like it." But for the members of the Vermont FrenchCanadian Genealogical Society, a family tree is more than just a puzzle to be solved. Janet Allard, who travels to the St. John's Club from Essex Junction, sees her work as a source of connectedness between generations. "Maybe some day," she speculates, "somebody will look at my records and they'll help them figure out who they are." ® The Fall Conference of the Vermont French-Canadian Genealogical Society begins at 9 a.m. Saturday, October 18, at the St. fohn's Club, Burlington.

with his wife and kids as the other voices. Jeff going out and selling commercial time to skeptical local merchants.) All of this torture and frustration, five days a week, month after month, for peanuts. It was like listening to a fight in which one of the pugs was getting battered: What's holding him up? I remember asking myself. Why is he still on his feet? Why is he doing this? Apparently he was doing it because he cared. Radio mattered to him. Being on the radio mattered. And as the painful months went on, and he began smoothing out the rougher edges — a quietly talented announcer-sidekick named Earl Parsons undoubtedly helped him here — it gradually became possible to listen to Jeff Kaufman and appreciate some qualities that shone through all the technical glitches. One was that he always came to the studio prepared. No matter what the subject, no matter whom the guest, Kaufman showed up briefed. The preparation time each day . must have taken hours; no

producer or researcher helped him out. This was grassroots, common-guy radio. Another quality was that he never slimed anybody. Never turned nasty. Never attacked a guest or someone who wasn't there. You always knew exactly where he was coming from politically — a little left-ofcenter here, a little right-ofcenter there —but he never lost his sense of decency, even when he was handling a caller who disagreed with him violently. Finally, there was the quality of his passion — for the country, justice, ideas, the movies, playfulness. He became like a next-door neighbor, the guy who's read up on just about everything but is always good for a few minutes of honest chat across the back fence. He started to do ambitious things with his show; he started doing live remote broadcasts from neighboring towns, music festivals, county fairs. He took his tape recorder to Washington for a week and stuck his mike in the faces of as many Congressmen as he could get to hold still. He got inside the Chittenden County Correctional Center. He got inside the Vermont home of Supreme Court Chief Justice William

Rehnquist. He brought per- ^ formers, musicians, humorists into the WFAD studio. And he got better and better. He turned himself into a very respectable, professional broadcaster while never losing touch with his amateurish, common-man glee at the sheer delight at being on the air. This past summer the Associated Press recognized Jeff Kaufman for what he has brought to unvarnished, grassroots, real-folks Vermont radio. But among those who have not recognized his achievements are the executives of the big AM stations who are so keen on celebrating the real people. So far, they have denied Kaufman the one ingredient he needs to take his act statewide, in syndication: an anchoring Burlington station. You're not shocking enough, Kaufman has been told by these execs. Not inyour-face enough. But surely, now that we know how much Vermont AM radio wants to bond with the common folk of this state, and now that the ultimate common man has proved his legitimacy, that attitude will change. Right? (7)

Pamela

he Lane Series made a wise move in booking the remarkable Kaila Flexer to perform this season. But once invited, they didn't know how to "sell" her. Not really classical. Not quite folk. Not just jazz. Kaila Flexer and her band, the Third Ear, simply defy description. And where does that leave the Lane? With a cumbersome but more accurate list of the genres Flexer bends: jazz, Cajun, swing, Celtic, world, folk, East European klezmer, shot through the canon of classical sensibilities. And this accomplished with standard and "octave" violin, accordian, double bass, marimba and all sorts of percussion. Regardless of what one calls it, the hybrid is riding a crest of popularity in the new acoustic music scene. The quartet's debut CD — appropriately titled Listen — makes it abundantly clear that Flexer rhymes with klezmer — almost. She comes by her Yiddish yen honestly: Flexer's great-grandfather and great-uncle were klezmer musicians in Poland. As filtered through an ail-American girl who happens to be a violin virtuoso, the centuries-old sound comes out new and fresh, a flirtatious, shape-shifting dance with other musical suitors from around the world. When a song called "Nenovsko Gruncharsco" rubs elbows with "Vienna Samba," you know something worldly is going down. And does it help to know that Flexer is the organizer of a joyously successful Bay Area festival called Klezmer Mania, not to mention a violinist/comedian in something called the "Church of 80% Sincerity?" Beats Jack Benny. Fellow San Francisco string master David Grisman calls Kaila Flexer and the Third Ear "truly exciting." When the fab fiddler arrives with Julian Smedley, Cecelia Browne and Joel Davel this Saturday, it will be Burlington's turn to listen. Keep your ears — all three of them — open. ©

he most provocative TV is frequently found elsewhere than one of the major networks — though exactly what constitutes a major network these days is a matter ripe for redefinition. Take, for example, MTV. Forget the fact that the communications collossus which owns it also owns VH1, Nickelodeon and a million other media goodies. On its own the music video channel deserves to be taken seriously as a pioneer-quality programmer, having pumped into living rooms around the globe such pivot-points of late 20th-century culture as the music video itself, "Beavis and Butt-Head," "The Real World" and Jenny McCarthy. Compared with . that, what have CBS or ABC done for you lately? If you stay up late and can drag your cerebral cortex away from the ever-less-necessary Letterman and Leno shows, you'll find a prime example of the network's loopily brilliant panache: Week nights from 11:30 to 12:30, M T V broadcasts a scary little slice of Armageddon called "Loveline," and if you haven't already come to the conclusion that civilization is running on borrowed time, this show might just convince you. ^ Like something Federico Fellini, Larry Flynt and RT.

Barnum might have cooked up at an all-night sacred mushroom ceremony, the advice show represents an evolutionary leap from the days of Dr. Ruth, and tangles a handful of disparate genres into something breathlessly new. Part ask-theexpert program, part talk show, part trash TV and part improvisational comedy, "Loveline" could very aptly have been called "Sex, Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll." It offers an outre mix of serious relationship, health and medical advice juxtaposed with celebrity guests and much wisecracking.

A board-certified physician known only as Dr. Drew makes up half the host team. Caring, wise and this side of 40, Dr. Drew is the heart of the show; his sidekick, comic Adam Carolla, provides its spleen. The good doctor listens patiently and offers thoughtful suggestions and insights as, say, an 18-year-old girl phones from Iowa to ask why he thinks her boyfriend hasn't called since she performed a drunken threesome with his best friend. Carolla then leans into the clueless caller with anything from a sarcastic remark to a torrent of withering mockery, all to the amused applause of the show's twentysomething studio audience. His moral outrage and comic venom are no

hand, the network feeds off the tragedy with programming like its "Dating Game" update, "Singled Out," in which lobotomized co-eds compete to promise the most dizzying heights of erotic gratification to the vapid stud who will choose from among them. And on the other, it gets to appear responsible and concerned by offering professional help to these same bimbos a few years down the road, after they've screwed up their lives, contracted diseases or surgically implanted foreign objects into their bodies that will prove painful and embarrassing to remove. And, since this is the late 20th century, we get to watch it all on TV. Their pain is our entertainment, their confusion a source of humor. It's a rollicking ride in the handbasket carrying'the world to hell, complete with applause, celebrities, cameras and commercials. While the major networks crank out variations on the same old sit-coms and cop shows, MTV is making television for a new sensibility, a new world. In the case of "Loveline," what it's doing is compelling, innovative, utterly cutting-edge. It's also more than a little sad. I can't help but wonder what would be on that channel instead if a generation of parents hadn't been so quick to let television play a significant role in raising their kids. Had they spent a little more time, shown a little more interest and asked a few more questions, maybe their sons and daughters wouldn't now be looking to the tube for answers. ®

1-6,

1997

Oct. 16 - Oct. 22

ARICS

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): I guess it would be O K for you and your sweetheart to buy matching monogrammed sweaters, but I can think of more creative ways to feed a growing sense of togetherness. Like for instance, you could both buy a pair of three-inch stiletto-heeled Manofo Blahnik pumps and traipse majestically around a junkyard rummaging for scrap to use in a joint sculpture in your backyard. Or you could get a headstart on Halloween and have one of you dress up as a giant peanut and the other as a rogue elephant, then go at it with zany zeal in the bedroom.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): Scientists say that El Nifio is heating up the Pacific Ocean so dramatically that the planet may soon see some of the most extreme weather this century. O n the other hand, it seems to have been the cause of a very mild hurricane season in the Adantic Ocean this year. Does this trade-off remind you of anyone you know? It should. You've just lived through your own psychological version.. of El Nifio. And now that ^its most disruptive effects are winding down , ,you can afford to sit back and i I.I.C.. t- unexpected benefits. l P. give thanks for its

What I'm trying to say is that you be able to draw h d p and probably won't he support from any of the usual suspects. Are you willing, then, to accept substitutes ana surrogates? I hope so. They may turn out to be better than the originals. I bet you'll be shocked by how much nurturing you can siphon from sources you wouldn't have dreamed of sidling up to a month ago. L£0 (July 23-Aug. 22): Like the season premiere of the T V show "ER," this horoscope is being performed in front of a live studio audience. Even now, to the delight of more than a hundred observers, my eyes are rolling to the back of my head in search of psychic visions. What I'm seeing for you Leos is that you should be doing something similar to what I'm doing: putting yourself on the spot in a highstakes challenge that demands peak alertness, relaxed intensity, and the willingness to ranvcnr voiit-^f from ^ X f e ^ T m Z ^ scratcn at every moment.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): There's no better example of the hazards of fortune-telling than the tale of the Spanish conquistador Cortes. For centuries Aztec priests had predicted that their fair-skinned, bearded god Quetzalcoad would return from exile in the vear they called One Reed. When the bushy-faced white man Cortes showed up in 1519 — the date corresponding to One Reed — he seemed to fit the prophecy in every way. Trouble was, he hadn't exactly come to bestow gifts and show everyone a good time. Moral of the story #1: Just because it walks like a Quetzalcoad and quacks like a Quetzalcoad doesn't mean it is a Quetzalcoad. Moral of the story #2: You'll never meet the true Quetzalcoad if you fall for the false one.

SCORPIO (Oa.23-Nov.21): Here's a mystical ritual that will banish those demons and pests that keep harassing vou. Stand in a private place at noon, f k e east, and use a real knife ' ' am fiw.nninf J

of Bolivia you familiar with controlled burn? 1

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 Dec 21): Mars and Venus will soon converge in Sagittarius. What synchronicities should we expect to flow between this cosmic conjunction and your personal life? Here are a few of the possible scenarios. 1) Heated arguments followed by feverish love-making. 2) Long-smoldering flirtations bursting into flame. 3) Massive mixups about the roles of love and lust — or else electrifying rapport between the two. 4) Brief affairs that flare up and then die out with soap opera-like melodrama. 5) Surpassingly sweet, sizzling, surprising sex.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Most religions designate a special class of people — priests, rabbis, ayatollahs — to handle all official communications with God. This has led to a prevailing assumption, even amoni those of who don't'follow one'ot the established faiths, that we can't initiate a divine conversation without the aid of m.n^A A gnostics, however, everyone was regarded as having equally access to the Big Chiefs ear. I'd love to revive that tradition, and there's no better candidate to lead the charge than you Capricorns, whore riding a supercharged wave of personal power. <

seminary to take up exotic dancing in an attempt to rekindle her ability to "be on fire for Christ." Aquarius #2 complained that he's suffering from crescendo fatigue. For nine months, the transformational hysteria has been rising, and every time he thinks it's about to climax, it only spirals higher. Aquarius #3 is an American expatriate who just returned after years of living in Asia. Her encounter with karaoke bars in remote Tibetan villages was the last straw driving her back to the California town that barely feels like home anymore. My conclusion: You Aquarians are changing faster than is allowed by natural law — but that's exacdy how it should be.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): The way I see it, you've got two alternatives in the coming days. The second one will transpire only if you're slow to respond creatively to the first — and I urge you not to let that happen. Here's a brief rundown of the possibilities. 1) It could be a Salvador-Dali-meets-Lewis-Carroll kind of week, complete with a trip through the looking elass and a pivotal encounter with a meKed watch. 2) It could be a Salvador-Dali-meets-LewisCarroll-meets-Franz-Kafka kind nf week, in which case your trip din the looking glass would lead to a cockroach that's wearing a melted watch.
