TED’S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE Carmel native and TV Star travels the globe to taste the finest foods and wines.

Ted’s Laws of Dining From Esquire magazine

How to get a great table at a restaurant: Become a regular, learn the hosts’ names, greet those hosts every time you visit and tip well. Then ask for those hosts by name when making reservations.

Real men most certainly do eat quiche, albeit rarely. They do not, however, drink appletinis or anything else to which the suffix -tini has been inappropriately appended.

Never, ever — are you kidding me?

— ever discourage a woman from eating anything. No matter how big the dessert, no matter how expensive the entree. Never. Ever.

Ted Allen made an appearance last week at a cooking demonstration held at Dinners by Design, 106th Street and Michigan Road.

Story and photos by Stephanie Curtis taste for divine wine and an appetite for gourmet cooking inspired Carmel native Ted Allen to share his love of palate pleasing culinary arts as an author, columnist and television personality.

His passion has allowed Allen to travel the globe tasting an abundance of the finest wines available and sampling delectable recipes created by some of the world’s most talented chefs.

“I find it an endlessly fascinating way to discover new cultures,” Allen said when asked what attracted him to a career as a food and wine connoisseur.

Recently, Allen’s trek brought him back home again to Camel, during a publicity tour sponsored by home meal prep kitchen, Dinners

by Design.

A 1983 graduate of Carmel High School, Allen jokes that he was extraordinarily goodlooking and popular, but admits with a chuckle that he was the exact opposite of the big man on campus.

“I had never been a performer and I wasn’t in plays or anything.” Allen said.

As a child, he enjoyed cooking and baking with his family, but their meals were never anything fancy. His mother, Donna Allen, confesses that she would not have expected him to be an expert on wine or other spirits and that Ted’s interest in cooking didn’t stir things up in her kitchen.

“As a young child, he wanted to put the “dev-

il” (paprika) on my deviled eggs,” Donna said, “This all happened sort of out of the blue,” “and we’d make pizza on Sunday afternoons.”

OUR TAKES It is our position that all comers are welcome in the booming Arts & Design District.

Much has been said about the movements of businesses from one community to another even as one city grows another may shrink.

As Carmel is attracting new business interests from across the U.S. and certainly from areas of Central Indiana, so, many of our neighbors are crying foul. “Carmel is poaching business from us,” they exclaim.

Undeniably, we have witnessed the relocation of many existing businesses from Marion County, Zionsville and other points. We’ve created something special here.

Nate Feltman, Indiana secretary of

commerce, has had great success in recruiting business to our state. That doesn’t mean that we dislike Ohio. Companies like Honda simply decided it to be in their best interest to choose Indiana. We say good job, Nate; keep it up.

As Carmel makes itself more appealing as a retail, arts, design, and commercial destination, undoubtedly we will attract more businesses to invest here. We welcome such an eventuality. And, with Haverstick Consulting’s recent move from Carmel to new and larger headquarters in Indianapolis, we, just like all cities and towns, are reminded that we must continue to improve and strive to be more than competitive.

It takes a Village It is our position that Carmel’s move toward a more traditional European style of living arrangement is a good one.

Europhiles we are not. We love our Midwestern USA values and work ethic.

However, the ability to put aside the automobile and its requisite consumption, miles of pavement and acres of parking in favor of a healthier, pedestrian-friendly front-porch community puts Carmel at the lead of an architectural and civicengineering movement gaining significant support nationally. If you don’t believe us, visit any of the new developments under way. Nationally, they’re mimicking what’s already happening here in our Arts & Design District, City Center and the Village of West Clay.

Don’t get us wrong, the medieval community arrangement was not perfect.

Housing in close proximity requires tolerance of our neighbors, but it also calls for appropriate attention to zoning, planning and other restrictions with a bias toward not absolute draconian uniformity, but instead a general enforcement of civility in an otherwise often uncivilized world.

Let’s hope for (and demand) that city leaders are mindful of the strengths and weaknesses of village life as we continue to move toward it. Which is why whenever Gramercy begins to take shape, all the right moves can be made, because all the right plans will have been put in place.

WANTED: A LEADERSHIP TOURNIQUET

The former Indiana Boy Governor and renowned Democrate, Evan Bayh, last week tore not a page, but a chapter out, of “The Official Band-Aid Bart (Peterson) Manual,” an act, which of course, is nothing short of nonsense. The good senator from Hoosierville has plunked down in the U.S. Senate a measure that would offer assistance to homeowners facing higher property taxes. His Homeowner Tax Fairness Act of 2007 purports to hand over to taxpayers who do not itemize a new standard deduction for real estate, state and local property taxes. These days, of course, only folks who itemize can take the benefit of property tax deductions.

Baron Hill (DHoosierville) foisted much the same document on his House of Representatives colleagues last week. That wasn’t an orchestrated plan, was it? We gotta ask: When will this nonsense cease? When will we get fed up with all these alternatives to leadership and work to stop the bleeding? Band-Aids don’t cure.

They only cover the wound. Put someone in charge to get it done. In both places. ( We’re too busy running Carmel’s Best Weekly Newspaper™ to take on the roles, and we couldn’t in good conscience accept the disproportionate benefits and perks accorded our venerated lawmakers.) *** One of our kids turned 18 last week, and we were only too pleased to confer upon her a gift to be treasured that will last a lifetime: an Indiana Voter Registration Form. We reminded her, as our Dad did us, that at her age she now has the right – and responsibility – to vote, but more than that, she now has the duty of making sure she is informed enough to exercise the right and responsibility to have a say in election outcomes. We hope it sinks in and stays with her.

YOUR VIEWS

Steve Greenberg & Brian Kelly *** Our thanks and respect go out to all who protested in front of Band-Aid Bart Peterson’s home last week.

He needs to be reminded of the property tax fiasco over which he has presided. (And we don’t even live in Indy!) *** Another example of government hubris: Have you heard that neither the U.S. Department of Defense nor the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has met even basic accounting requireBayh ments, leaving them “vulnerable” to waste, fraud and abuse? We suppose Sarbanes Oxley was created only for the rest of us. *** In the wake of the Carmel International Arts Festival, we’re proud to proclaim Carmel the Cultural Capital of Indiana – and it’s only going to get better. You’ll see. Major pats on the back to Rosemary Waters, her staff and volunteers for ratcheting it up even more this time around. What a marvelous event!

DUNKIN’ DELIGHT

Editor: To say (the week of Sept. 10) was one of the best sales weeks in Dunkin’ Donuts’ 57year history is simply not doing the experience justice. To my knowledge, Miracle Restaurant Group’s Dunkin’ Donuts restaurant in Carmel set an opening-week record for sales for stores in what we call new markets. We have many people, from our great team of restaurant staff members, partners, corporate DD people, vendors and the media to thank for our success. Current in Carmel is, of course, among the top on our list. Your assistance in so many things beyond the great-looking (and redeeming) ad has truly been a great help, and we thank you many times over. The ad, the great introduction to key contacts, the great editorial, the cartoon ... were all phenomenal.

We were able make a $1,000 donation to Special Olympics Indiana, and we’re supplying delicious donuts to Carmel Middle School for their Special People Awards. Local community involvement is not just something we put in our mission statement, we practice it.

Most important, though, are our customers. I’ve been in the business for more than 30 years, and their patronage, support and encouragement has been totally off the charts.

Carl Whitmire Executive director of marketing Miracle Restaurant Group

A ‘CHEAP SHOT’ Editor: Republican Ron Carter’s words at recent City Council meeting are deplorable. Mr. Carter demeaned all present. Those opposing him were characterized as taking Carmel back to the middle ages. Voters should be made aware of his exact words, which are available on Channel 16. His insinuation that if you disagree with him, you want to live in a slum area, is just plain ignorant. Mr. Carter did this as a “cheap shot.” Council rules provide that one is not allowed to respond to Councilors at that meeting so his words were the last words.

Mr. Carter is what is created by 50 years of one party rule in Carmel.

John Sullivan, Democratic candidate for Carmel City Council at Large

WRITERS’ RULES

Wanna write us a letter? You can do it a couple ways. The easiest is to e-mail it to info@currentincarmel.com. The old-fashioned way is to snail mail it to

SHE IS AWARE

Editor: In your Sept. 18 issue, Ms. Jody Kuchar wrote “I wonder if Ms. Warner is aware of the U.S. indebtedness to China, Japan and other Asian countries?” She continued, “I have to wonder if she approves of this incredibly bad situation.” In response to Ms. Kuchar, yes, I am most keenly aware of our growing debt, including the enormous cost of our presence in Iraq. For the record, I most strongly do not approve of the mounting deficits that our country is incurring. However, I must also add that I felt it more appropriate to comment on local matters since I am a candidate for local office. I sincerely do not believe in mortgaging our future thus making our children and their children bear the cost of this burden.

Sarann Warner, candidate Carmel City Council

A FITTING COMMENT

Editor: I submitted a letter last week but was told to cut in down to under 100 words. A letter in the current issue by Jody Kuchar is well over 100 words. Could those letters critical of Mayor Brainard not get selected, while those in support of him be as lengthy as necessary?

Also, you want to fire George Bush every time you see a Bin Laden tape? Get real! My intense dislike for Bill Clinton grows, since he refused several requests from the Sudanese government to take Bin Laden off their hands!

(By my count, 97 words!)

William Jones 46032

THANKS FOR WALTERS

Editor: It is so refreshing to read Bob Walters’ column each week. The heritage of this great country is rooted in a faith in God. But the voices that once spoke so freely of their trust in Him are being slowly challenged and hushed, especially in the news media. There is no wrong in being challenged as that is the foundation of our “freedom of speech,” but when that challenge is done with meanness, hate, and intolerance we have to fight back, hopefully with love and wisdom and on our knees. Thank you so much for having Bob’s column in the paper and allowing him his “free speech.”

SUCCESSFUL EVENT COMES IN THE PLANNING

ast weekend, Carmel’s Main Street was transformed from a busy thoroughfare to an outdoor shopping and entertainment event that can only be experienced once each year.

The Carmel International Arts Festival filled the streets at Range Line Road and Main Street Saturday and Sunday It took lots of worrying, designing, scheduling, strategizing and preparing for the committee to present the 10th version of the festival.

For only the second time in its storied history, the festival called the Arts & Design Jeff Worrell District home.

CarmelCan! There are many people you should thank for the trash that was properly dis-

posed of, the detour signs that guided you past closed roads, the setup, the tear down, the posters, the food, and so on. But without the leadership and dedication of one lady who has served on the committee since the Rosemary very first festival, I am Waters sure it would not be the strong, self-supporting, community jewel that it is today.

Rosemary Waters, if you do not know her, eats, drinks and sleeps Carmel International Arts Festival. I am positive her living room is decorated floor to ceiling with Arts Festival posters, although I was not able to confirm this.

I could go on and on about Rosemary’s other skills, her ability to get everyone to work together, and her cute way of avoiding taking all of the credit. But, she can’t do it all alone, and fortunately she has a devoted team of associates who helped execute her plan

flawlessly.

They are Doreen Squire-Ficara, Sandy Barretto, Elaine Bass, Doug Haney, Alexandra Jackiw, Cherie Piebes, Linda Ferrell, Kim Hurd, Gary Frey, Leslie Lauck, Mary Lou Schweitzer, Joan Cimino, Ranjit Puthran, Paxton Waters and last but certainly not least, Lee Goodman of the Carmel Police Department.

As you read this, Team Artsfest is basking in the glow of a successful event. By all accounts, every measure of their success was up over last year. More artists, more food vendors and more shoppers make for easy reading in the final report.

And though they are taking it easy for the next few weeks, you can be sure that Rosemary and her cooperatives will be back to work in November. With a blank canvas and their creative genius, they will begin the process of creating their 11th masterpiece for all to enjoy.

had a revelation the other day as I patiently waited outside an exercise class with about 30 other women: Belonging to a gym is just like being back in high school, complete with favorite classes, dreaded teachers and enough insecurities to fill an oversized cosmetics bag.

There are even cliques — like-minded women who, because of their common goals and interests, band together to the exclusion of others.

At my gym, we have a wide variety of cliques, but the most pronounced are the Beautiful People, the Jocks, the Out-ofShapers, the OCD’ers and the Survivors.

The Beautiful People are the women who were adorable Danielle cheerleaders in high Wilson school and gorgeous sorority presidents in college. They are always in full make-up and chic workout apparel (that actually matches!) and never sweat, but rather “glisten.” They come to the gym primarily to socialize and compare cocktail party notes. I like to imagine they have fake boobs and cheating husbands in order to feel better about myself.

Then you have your Jocks, the buff ladies who, like Linda Hamilton in “Terminator 2,” could take down cyborgs, aliens and an unsuspecting 2-year old with a single, well-placed roundhouse kick.

This is not necessarily a good thing. When we specialize in specific areas of our children’s development, and not the whole child of mind and body, we are focusing on only that one component of their being, while other areas of development are put on the back burner.

In other words, Becky Kapsalis when we specialize Ask YiaYia as parents we are dissecting our children by developing segmented disciplines based on our society. (Caron Goode - “Nurture Your Child’s Gifts”). For example, we treat their bodies with medicines, their minds with psychology, religion for the soul and education to train their intellect. When, in proven fact, the only components of the whole child are systemically the mind and body with the

link being emotions. To isolate parts of the whole child from one another is to create disorder, much like medicines treating a specific disorder can cause havoc with other parts of the body.

Treating the “whole child” is to listen, empathize, encourage, accept, allow and be aware of his/her interests, dreams and emotions. Speaking to their hearts and minds while listening with our hearts and minds is a

guarantee that we are raising our children to be “whole” human beings.

Enter “emotional intelligence.” Per Dr. Goode, “Emotional Intelligence is not fixed in children until approximately age 15 when the emotional chemistry of the body reaches maturity. Childhood is a crucial time for developing emotional acumen. It affects how well children learn and directly impinges on their adult happiness. Because children soak up emotions as well as information, their feelings reflect the predominant mental characteristics of the family.” When we speak to the “whole child,” all components fall magnanimously into place.

Hugs!

Evel’s Greatest leap of faith

Family members: Jack (not pictured) and Amy Hodge (30-something), Hayden (12), Hunter (11), Holden (9), and Holly (4). We are still awaiting a referral from China so we can go there to adopt our second little girl.

Residence: Carmel Where we worship: North Park Community Church. We are currently meeting at The Fountains on East Carmel Drive.

Why we worship at North Park: When we first started at North Park five years ago, it was a brand-new church. We loved the excitement and passion involved in starting a church. Jim Martenson has a gift of teaching from God’s Holy Word and making it applicable to our daily lives.

He stresses the importance of living in a

st e L a anc e ! v Ch S a o t

community and encourages each of us to join one of the many life groups that meet at different times outside of church. Our Sunday services are casual, our music is amazing, and my children have a great time learning about Jesus in the “North Park Kidz” ministry. What I love most about North Park Community Church is our strong conviction that church is not a building, it is all of God’s people.

Lady Bug Cleaning was born when a brilliant marketing tactic was proposed

by Joseph Horn’s 13-year-old daughter, Brittany. “She really wanted one of the new VW Bugs when they came out. So she said I should paint them like lady bugs and use them for my business. Then once she was 16, she could take the car,� Horn said. Before long, Horn had a business that was wrapped in a corporate-look-

updated master bath with oversized, spa-like shower and a full bath in fully ďŹ nished basement. This home is adjacent to the Village of West Clay and all of its ďŹ ne shops, trails and dining as well as to the newly built Coxhall Gardens. • Challenges: The owner has completed many updates to this home including putting in an in-ground pool. Although the owner will enjoy this addition while they reside in the home, they may only get a fraction of this investment back upon selling.

Turkey Wrap: is it Healthy or stealthily bad?

DISPATCHES ATTACK YOUR MIDDLE: Try the “Lighthouse” to help slim down your middle: Grab a medicine ball with both hands and stand with feet wider than your hips. Raise the ball to shoulder height with arms straight but not locked. Bend your knees slightly, then rotate your arms and torso 90 degrees to the right, pivoting on the ball of your left foot and turning from your hips. Repeat to the opposite side. Continue until you can’t do another rep with perfect form. Rest up to 3 minutes, then repeat.

— Womenshealthmag.com JICAMA PACKS FIBER, VITAMIN C: Jicama (HE-kuh-muh) is a Central American root vegetable that looks like a potato or turnip but is juicy and slightly sweet. You can slice it and eat it raw, or boil it like a potato, till soft. One cup contains just 49 calories and is loaded with 6 grams of fiber.

It also packs a hefty dose of vitamin C. Find it in the produce sections of high-end supermarkets, like Whole Foods and Fresh Market.

ecause of advertising, turkey wraps are considered a healthy food alternative, containing sliced turkey breast, iceberg lettuce, cheese, diced tomatoes and salsa wrapped in a flour tortilla.

As a national motivational speaker and health columnist, I consider it my mission to inform the public of the increasing amount of un-natural compounds lurking in the favorite foods we routinely feed our loved ones.

Once you begin to read and comprehend ingredient labels, you’ll be stunned. We must resist the urge to grab something off the shelf in blind trust.

Wendell Fowler Campbell’s soup is as American as apple pie, but it is sweetened with gut-busting high fructose corn syrup and bursting with sodium. Remember, at one time they said cigarettes were healthy for us.

When perusing a label, if the ingredients resemble rocket fuel and you cannot pronounce the words, run for your life.

The point I wish to make is that we must scratch deeper into the ingredients on factory

processed meats, frozen entrees and desserts. It is rare that processed turkey is not preserved with nitrates (also called nitrites), a preservative used to set color in food.

Nitrates and nitrites form nitrosamines in our body. Nitrosamines are carcinogenic.

Studies indicate that people who eat a lot of processed meats with nitrates (including hot dogs, bacon, cold cuts and sausages) are at a much higher risk for pancreatic cancer.

Turkey wraps are generally made with nutritionally bankrupt white-flour wraps preserved with trans-fats, scientifically proven to cause heart disease. Next, the shredded iceberg lettuce has the nutrition of this page of newsprint. And a 1.5-ounce serving of Cheddar cheese contains 14 grams of fat, then some salsa.

The fat content of cheeses can be found in Table 13 in USDA’s Nutrient Database. For example, 1 ounce of Kroger Medium Grated Cheddar cheese has 110 calories.

Hold the sour cream, please.

Instead, politely ask the restaurant to prepare yours from whole wheat wraps, real turkey breast, dark green romaine lettuce loaded with calcium, diced tomato with vitamin

C, and fresh salsa. Cooking a whole turkey is good home economics. Pull off the meat and freeze it for future use, then boil what is left for a delicious turkey soup or casserole.

Fortunately there is a lovely assortment of meats without nitrates these days, so we can continue to eat roast beef sandwiches, turkey, bacon and hot dogs. Meats without nitrates are more perishable, so eat them promptly or freeze them before the expiration date.

At home, pimp your sandwich: Real turkey breast wrapped in trans-fat-free tortilla wraps or whole wheat pita bread and lavish with fresh dark wild greens, julienne or grated carrots, fresh spinach leaves, cilantro, and 1 tablespoon of low-fat blue cheese dressing.

Combine portion control with a sugar-free beverage, and you have prepared a delicious, nutritious meal and I seriously doubt your family will even notice.

Sometimes we need to be lovingly sneaky.

NATURAL ZIT-SAPPING: Medical treatments for acne often are effective.

However, they’re also expensive, and frequently have undesirable side effects.

People who want to treat their acne, but either don’t want to or aren’t able to take advantage of medications for their problem, may wish to attempt natural remedies. An oatmeal application has been said to reduce blemishes. Cook the oatmeal, let it cool until it’s no longer unpleasantly hot, then apply it to your face. Leave this on for fifteen minutes, and then wash it off. Try an herb bath with nettle and rosemary. Applying lemon

More expensive canned albacore “white” tuna has been found to contain as much as three times the mercury of canned “light” tuna. ... Why settle for some over-processed vending machine offering when you can have a second lunch? A whole-wheat PB&J sandwich at 3 p.m. will keep your energy up until dinner, help your heart with a megadose of monounsaturated fats, and has fewer calories than cheesy peanut butter crackers.

— mensjournal.com juice and rosewater in equal parts with a cotton ball may help with blemishes. Leave the mixture on for a half hour, and apply it for fifteen to twenty days. Above all else, don’t over wash! Twice a day is enough.

t’s rare these days to visit a home that does not have a wireless network installed. As with all technology, various entities in the industry are constantly working on improvements in speed, reliability and security in wireless networking gear.

The confusing standards developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) for wireless networking were initially introduced before the turn of the century, with 802.11a and b as the first versions released for public use. In 2003, a faster version of Gary Hubbard the wireless standard Technology known as 802.11g was introduced; it allowed information to be transferred between computers four to five times faster than 802.11b.

The latest generation of wireless is called 802.11n, which is a standard that has not yet been finalized. The IEEE is targeting fall 2008 for ratifying the 802.11n standard, but in the interim it has published a “Draft 2.0” standard.

The reason this is important is because

Powerset’s algorithms are programmed to understand search requests submitted in plain English, a change from the “keyword” system used by Google Inc., Yahoo Inc., Microsoft Corp. and the owners of the other leading engines. Powerset says its “unique innovations in search are rooted in breakthrough technologies that take advantage of the structure and nuances of natural language.”

Argos, a British operator of catalog stores, started handing out copies of Halo 3 to customers who pre-ordered the game on its Web site.

interoperability (technology that plays nice with others) and backward compatibility are going to be keys to helping the world move to the 802.11n standard, and the Draft 2.0 standard covers those issues.

In our tests of the current crop of pre-n devices, we were able to connect at a significantly farther distance, but it did little in close areas where the signal was not getting through thick walls or other obstructions. So if you are struggling to get a signal in certain parts of your home or building, don’t expect 802.11n to be any better. It will, however, allow you to be hacked from farther away and has been reported to cause users of the older standards within range to experience connection issues.

If your neighbor decides to be the first on the block with 802.11n, it could cause your older 802.11b network to become unstable because it has some overlapping frequencies.

“As a precaution, anyone who has an existing wireless network should consider being proactive and make sure the home network is not broadcasting on channel 1, 6 or 11.”

If you are looking to buy new or replace an existing wireless network, the real key to making your decision is based on how much money you are willing to spend. Your older 802.11b computers will work fine with an 802.11g router but in order to get the speed increase from the “g” standard you will also have to buy 802.11g network interface cards for all your computers. The same holds true with 802.11n, but the cost difference can be significant higher.

If you don’t really care about the computerto-computer speed and you just want to buy a new router, an 802.11g router is your best bet (and preferably from the same manufacturer as your network cards so your encryption options are better).

If cost is less important and you want the maximum speed and distance you can get at this moment, make sure you buy products that have the “802.11n Draft 2.0” certification (more than 70 products as of this writing) and make sure you buy everything from the same manufacturer just to play it safe.

OUR INDOOR ENVIRONMENT

By Bob Pepper

Air filters play an important part in maintaining the quality of the air we breathe. A standard 1-inch Fiberglas filter or a washable filter might only pick up 8 to 10 percent of the airborne particles that pass through it. This still allows a lot of dust to get trapped in the blower of the furnace or the coil for the air conditioner and will affect the performance or your heating and air conditioning system.

People without allergies might not notice a problem, and if they have minor allergies they might think they have a common cold.

A 1-inch pleated filter will cost a little more but it will be much more effective. The next step would be a 4-inch pleated filter or a mechanical air cleaner. These types of filters are designed to be replaced one to two times per year.

They pick up most household dust, pollens, spores and animal dander, which will cover most people’s minor allergies.

If your allergies are more severe you may want to consider an electronic air filter or a hepa filter.

Newer electronic air filters include a media filter that you change. If any household dust gets past the electronic cell, the media filter traps the dust. A hepa filter pulls air from the duct, filters it and puts it back in the system using its own blower motor. When using a hepa filter, you still must have a separate filter to protect the heating and air conditioning equipment.

With houses getting tighter for energy efficiency, we are trapping air inside. If the air is not clean and it is contaminated then it will affect our health. If the blower wheel or air conditioning coil is dirty, this will affect system performance.

With the cost of utility bills, it is important to keep your equipment running as efficient as possible.

I

was thumbing through some textbooks on color that have stayed with me since college days. There was a word that I had not heard in decades. Puce. I had to say it several times to make sure that it was real. Puce. Just the sound of the word conjures images of anything other than a color.

The textbook glossary held the key to the meaning, and it proved to be harmless enough.

Puce was defined as a color varying from dark purplish brown to dark red.

The image that came to mind was a color similar to one that I now call Raisin or Hemp, equally trendy names for the decade.

Hmmmm....

I recently discovered some dishware that was a Vicky Earley Decor combination of my favorite green and gold. If asked, I would have described them as celadon and gold. As I was checking out with my prized selection, a voice from behind said, “Oh, look. Those plates are avocado green and harvest gold.” I looked around to see who was holding outdated merchandise left over from

for all colors used in home decor.

It really became obvious that the colors formerly known as harvest gold and avocado green are not guilty of inherent ugliness or any other heinous crime. My dishes are not so shameless that they should be pointed out as fugitives from the ’70s. It merely is the name that conjures the image of old and dated. Similar colors are quite beautiful in the home of 2007 once the name has been changed.

I have recently recommended colors named moss and pesto that share remarkably similar traits to avocado green.

To further complicate matters, those colors look great with gold and, of course, puce.

the 1970s. There were just two of us in line.

I think the epiphany came when I found a photo of my then 4-year-old daughter (who is now 30) toddling on a plush carpet called Rust. I can only hope that the pigments of the photo have changed with age. If not, my baby was standing in the middle of a floor that looked like it was ablaze with a reddish, orange color. It looked like anything other than rust. I might call the original rust a close cousin of the color russet or brick today.

In traditional color theory, these are only three pigment colors that can’t be mixed or formed by any combination of other colors. All other colors are derived from these three hues (red, yellow and blue). The secondary colors of green, orange and purple take the grand total of basic colors to a whopping six.

The millions of shades and tones that are perceived by the human brain are built upon these basics. This, factored with how dark and how light the color is, creates the foundation

WHAT’S NEW IS OLD: David Wolfe, creative director of The Doneger Group, a fashionforecasting firm in New York City, predicts the big trends for 2008: a repetition of themes, a focus on vintage, and a heavy influence from the past. In other words, what is old is new again. “Lengths of dresses are going to get longer, similar to what women were wearing in the late ’60s early ’70s, and men are going to be wearing sports jackets.”

Wolfe also expects bright colors like neon yellows and cobalt blues to make their debut in men’s and women’s wear ensembles, as well as splashes of color in accessories.

BAKED ASPARAGUS WITH PARMESAN CHEESE An easy-to-make side in 30 minutes or less.

Peterson’s

Ingredients:

• 1 pound asparagus, trimmed • 1 teaspoon olive oil • 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese, freshly grated • 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh bread crumbs

Keltie Domina

Owner of Keltie’s Restaurant and Catering, Westfield

Where she likes to eat: I like to eat at Oakley’s Bistro.

What she likes: They have great pork and the meatloaf is really, really good.

7690 E. 96th St., Indianapolis Phone: 598-8863 Web: petersonsrestaurant.com Hours: 5 to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 5 to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday, closed Sunday.

Bar opens at 4:30 each day, and is open until midnight on Friday and Saturday.

Instructions: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. In a medium baking dish, toss the asparagus with the oil and arrange in an even layer.

Sprinkle with the Parmesan and bread crumbs. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender.

Even though the first word generally used to describe the menu at Peterson’s is “steaks,” sous chef Jeff Heaviland says “our goal is to make it more than a steakhouse.” One way they do that is with dishes like Maine diver sea scallops for $26. The scallops are char-grilled, drizzled with a little truffle oil, and served with mushroom risotto, apple relish and crisp pancetta. Peterson’s is known for its fine dining, and has a 21-andolder policy. It has two private rooms, which can handle parties of up to 48.

Or sit in the bar, where the full menu is available, as well as a bar menu that includes shrimp DeJonghe in a puff pastry cup (made with owner Joe Peterson’s recipe). But if you do want a steak, Heaviland says the 16-ounce rib-eye ($29) is a popular choice.

Why she likes there: I like to eat there because it’s a locally owned place.

Where it is makes it easy to get to.

It’s a very unique place to eat as well.

With One Call.

Dillon’s class, titled “Finding Family,” will teach class members how to research their families, and is based on information she learned attending genealogy conferences.

Dillon said the first two Finding Family classes will focus on teaching people how to use Ancestry and other Internet resources.

The third class will be on how to organize the information, and the last class will be on how to take a genealogy road trip, including where to go and what to look for.

Class registration is still open, and there is no limit to the number of participants.

The cost is $30 for residents and $45 for nonresidents. Those interested can sign up at the Monon Center or mail or fax in their information. The library Ancestry.com subscription will also be helpful to people wanting to get involved in genealogy, Dillon said, because it has digital copies of many records that are kept at the county seat library or historical society. The Hamilton County records are in Noblesville.

Dillon said Ancestry makes it easy to learn about your family. She said all you need to know is your father’s last name and your mother’s maiden name, and to work backwards from there.

Knowing how to use a computer is also helpful, she said.

DIVERSIONS

Although busy schedules may make it hard just to concentrate on the present, come October, the Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation Department and the Carmel Clay Public Library will make it easier to learn about the past.

Sue Dillon, president of the Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation Department, will teach two four-week-long genealogy classes at the Monon Center, 235 E. Central Park Drive.

Genealogy is the study of tracing family history. The first session begins Oct. 3 and the second session begins Oct. 25. Classes go from 7 to 9 p.m.

The library also will buy a subscription to www.ancestry.com, the largest online subscription genealogy database. The subscription becomes available Oct. 1.

“The exciting thing is to put (your family) in historical context,” Dillon said. “If you can place your family in those contexts, then you know something about the context and how they were living.”

Dillon said the demographics of Carmel are ripe for a genealogy class. She said there is a “genealogy vacuum,” which she explained as there not being an Indiana genealogy group besides the small Northwest Indiana Genealogical Society.

She also said Carmel has high computer literacy rates, and although people have busy schedules, they can access the Internet at night to search about their families.

“It’s exploding,” Dillon said of genealogy records on the Internet. “More is coming online every day. People are sharing their own family documents.”

Fatigue and shortness of breath are often experienced months before a heart attack. Unfortunately, these early symptoms are usually mistaken as signs of stress or growing older.

It’s called an “attack,” but symptoms sneak up slowly.
