What’s in a name? Everything, according to the great poets throughout history. Whether you're Irish of wish you were or couldn’t give a darn, this book is educational and a lot of fun. It deals with first names, family names and place names. An _ explanation of the origin, history and meaning of each name is given. Folklore, Celtic legends, family traits, Viking, Norse and Norman name derivations are included, as well as a summary of Ireland’s tumultuous past. Thete is a complete list of Irish root words, and a basic pronun- ciation guide. One entire section is devoted to family coats of arms. This book is an interestng read. It's amazing how many of our common words are of Irish origin! And even more amazing is the meanings of some of these names. Apparently we’ve named one of our sons for a horse. He is not overly amused (our son, not the horse). DR. AMANDA LETHCO will conduct a free piano clinic for all piano teachers on August 22 at the Northwest Academy of Performing Arts. On the Small Screen : video reviews by | Harriett Fjaagesund Howling V — The Rebirth Starring Philip Davis, Victoria Catlin, Elizabeth She. Produced by Clive Turner. Directed by Neal Sundstrom. Rating: R. Run- ning time: 99 minutes. Just for a change of pace I thought I’d do a review on what I consider to be one of the sillier movies to hit Terrace. Of course you're free to disagree with me. The movie opens in Budapest, 1489, Inside an ancient castle an entire family — brothers, sisters, cousins, etc. — has just com- mitted suicide. But as the last two die, we hear a baby crying in the background. Now we speed up to modern Budapest, 1989. A group of un- likely people have received an invitation to a special opening of this same castle. We learn that it’s been uninhabited for the past 500 years. The castle’s past is shrouded in secrecy. But the cat’s out of the bag when people start disappear- ing, only to turn up later with their throats ripped out. A mys- terious count (Philip Davis) explains that the original family were werewolves, and that they committed suicide to end the curse. But one lone baby survived | to carry on the infamous family tradition. . He then informs everyone that they are each descendants of this Piano pedagogy program here Terrace Sight & Sound and the Northwest Academy of Performing Arts will host a free piano clinic at the Northwest Academy for all piano teachers, on August 22, from 9 a.m. until noon.

Meanwhile, one of the worst blizzards in recorded memory is conveniently raging, so no one can escape the castle. Now com- mon sense says there is safety in numbers (preferably under the nearest bed), but these people are determined to wander off on their own, especially down through the dungeons where the werewolf hangs out. | This movie does have its spooky moments, but I must admit to rooting for the were- wolf. National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation Starring Chevy Chase, Beverly D’Angelo. Produced by John Hughes and Tom Jacobson. Directed by Jeremiah Chechik. Rating: PG. Running time: 97 minutes. Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase), mild-mannered family man, is — determined to have an old- fashioned Christmas. with all his family gathered around him. . Even if it kills him. He begins by inviting his par- ents and in-laws. These people” are about as chummy with one another as the Hatfield’s and McCoy’s. Then the "poor" side of the family, complete with a dog named Snot, drops in for a short “six-month visit. But Clark is a laid back kind of guy; he takes all this right in stride. Besides, there’s more important things to worry about, like tree-hunting and stringing lights. The Griswold’s electric bill alone could pay off the na- tional debt! And from there things slowly creep downhill. From exploding cats to exploding sewers, the Griswold family Christmas will be one long remembered by all.
