QUESTION: I want a Tuscan look in my kitchen. Could you suggest some colors to use and how to use them to get that look? Thank you. — Sandy, Huntington

ANSWER: I would prob-ably start with the walls. If they are not already textured, this is an easy do-it-yourself project, or you can faux finish the walls with a darker glaze over the wall color to make them appear textured and old. There are many Web sites and books available if you need specific instructions on how to do either of these.

Colors are usually yellow-based and can range from sunshine yellow to golden, darker hues. Normally you will see touches of olive greens and red-based colors including burnt orange and terra cotta.

Any of these warm colors should be balanced by colors of a Tuscan sky and sea. Cool turquoise, cobalt blues and creams can be a wonderful addition to the scheme.

Tile, either natural or baked and colorful, would be a great choice for a backsplash or part of a countertop as on an island. Accent with wrought iron, rus-tic wood and textured pottery in bright colors.

QUESTION: We have a sec-ond home in the South close to the beach. I’m debating between plantation blinds or just sheer, gauzy drapes in the living room, or both? These are low windows, about a foot and a half from the floor. One of the windows is a palladium. Should the blinds match the woodwork (dark wood) or the walls (cream)?

Also, I am trying to find a floor covering that consists of one-foot squares sewn togeth-er. They are a grass or reed material. I have seen them in magazines and would love to have them for the porch. Any ideas? Thanks so much.

ANSWER: I love the idea of plantation shutters for your windows, especially if privacy is an issue. I would choose

The Herald-DispatchHUNTINGTON — It was a

dark, stormy night.OK, it’s safe to say none of

the finalists of the screenplay category started their master-pieces out like that.

The winner will be announced at the awards banquet, which will take place at 6:45 p.m. Sat-urday, April 25, at the Frederick Hotel’s restaurant, 21 @ The Frederick.

After the ceremony, there will be a festival special selec-tion “Keepsake” that will be shown at 10 p.m. Saturday over at Marquee Cinemas in Pull-man Square.

REC RDRE DAYST

By DAVE LAVENDERThe Herald-Dispatchlavender@herald-dispatch.com

HUNTINGTON — In the age of digi-tal downloads, record stores such as Tower Records, Virgin Superstores and Best Buy have been closing by the doz-ens.

In many cities that funky, friendly neighborhood record store is long gone.

Many of those that remain, more than 700 independently-owned stores in the U.S., gather together Saturday, April 18, to celebrate Record Store Day, an idea conceived by Chris Brown and founded in 2007 by Eric Levin, Michael Kurtz, Carrie Colliton, Amy Dorfman, Don Van Cleave and Brian Poehner as a celebration of the unique culture surrounding hundreds of similar stores inter-nationally.

Now celebrated the third Saturday every April, Record Store Day celebrates the art of music with a wide range of special vinyl and CD releases. Various promotional

products are made exclusively for the day and hundreds of artists in the United States and in countries across the globe make special appearances and perfor-mances.

Here in Huntington, Vince Hebert’s Now Hear This, 1101 4th Ave., is starting its 13th year.

While a number of stores such as Second Time Around, Davidson’s and others have come and gone, Hebert said Now Hear This has been going strong by diversifying and knowing its customers.

“It ’s funny, too. I have been here since 1996, an indie-owned

music store, and still, people to this day don’t know we are here,” Hebert said. “For people who don’t know, we carry VHS movies, cassettes, CDs, box set CDs, LPs, posters, incense and every kind of DVD you can imagine from TV series to regular movies to rock ’n’ roll to urban and adult selections.”

Hebert said a strong uptick in used sales has kept business good in spite of the downtrend in record sales and the sluggish economy.

“We have definitely seen an increase in used sales,” Hebert said. “It’s hard

times, and people have brought in products to sell. Our prod-ucts of used stuff has defi-nitely increased in CD and DVD sales.”

Although Now Hear This has a broad range of new

CDs, they also sell DVDs as low as $4.98 (and it’s buy two, get one free). They sell used CDs for $7.98 or less and new

CDs from $12 to $16.“You can bring your CDs, LPs,

DVDs, anything and we can resell it,” Hebert said. “You can

COMMUNITY NEWS

C M Y K 50 inch

DEAR ABBY: Five years ago, my brother-in-law sent my sister “Rita” and me on an all-expense-paid weekend trip to Canada. He asked me to tell Rita that I had “won” it for outstanding performance at my job and wanted her to accompany me.

To make a long story short, it turned out he did it in order to cheat on my sister. Because we had problems with the arrangements he had made, Rita and I had to return a day early. When she opened her front door and walked in, she caught her husband red-handed.

Ever since that unfortu-nate incident, Rita has cut off our entire family. She acts as though WE cheated on her, and remains married to this despicable man even though he lives with the other woman.

I don’t understand why my sister has pushed away all of the people who love her while maintaining a relationship with a man who cheats on her. I don’t know what to do. Any advice? — MISSING MY SISTER

DEAR MISSING: Your sister may feel that she deserves the treatment she’s getting from her husband, or is still hoping that her wandering spouse will return. Because you were part of the deception, she has displaced the anger she should be aiming at her husband and has directed it at you because it is “safer.”

Until she finds the strength

and courage to accept that her marriage is over, her behavior will probably continue. I’m advising you to go on with your life until she is ready to change hers.

DEAR ABBY: Most of my extended family are pleasant and enjoy each other’s com-pany when we meet at family gatherings several times a year. But three of them (all from the same side of the fam-ily) are just plain rude. Every event becomes an uncom-fortable exercise in bracing oneself for the verbal attacks that come from these critical, judgmental people.

We have tried talking about it, but hear the same refrains — “I’m not changing,” “Accept me as I am” and, “You have no choice but to put up with me because we are family!”

I am a younger member of this family who occasionally spends holidays with friends or traveling. When I do, I am severely chastised by these three relatives, who say I have “no right” to skip family gatherings. If they were nicer people, I would want to spend more time with them.

I want to do the right thing, but what do people who have

the same ancestry “owe” each other when there is no connec-tion of friendship or goodwill? — RELATED IN NAME ONLY IN SAN JOSE, CALIF.

DEAR RELATED: I know of no rule of etiquette that states you are compelled to attend every family event. Good manners dictate that you treat those around you courteously. But that does not mean that you must engage in anything more than casual, superficial chit-chat with those who are critical, judgmental and rude.

Because these get-togethers involve extended family, spend

the majority of your time with the relatives who make you feel welcome, supported and loved.

P.S. One thing you do NOT owe these folks is an explana-tion regarding your absence when you choose to avoid them.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pau-line Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

them to match the window trim and if painting the trim white and having white plantation shutters is not an option, they should be the dark color like your wood-work.

If you were using white, I would say that the addi-tion of sheers would be beautiful but not necessary. But, if you have to use dark shutters because painting the trim is not an option or not your taste, some sheers would help soften and lighten the look of your windows. Still beautiful, light and airy. You can have shutters custom made to fit your palladium window or

you can leave the arch at the top uncovered.

If you type in “outdoor grass/reed rugs” in your computer’s search engine, many Web sites appear where you can shop for natural rugs of all shapes, styles, materials and sizes. Most companies custom make them to your specifications also. The next time you find what you like in a magazine, check the fine print for a Web site or shop-ping directory that might tell you where that particular rug could be purchased.

leave with cash in your pocket. Trade in those old cassettes for new CDs — we can do that, and you can spend the money right in the store.”

Hebert, who still has a cas-sette player, has room in the inn for cassettes and LPs as well.

With an ear to the street, Hebert has always supported local artists, including now nationally-traveling hip-hop artist Tasheem Hayes (Tiger the Ace), who helped Now Hear This bulk up its thick collection of the latest hip-hop mix CDs that come in fresh every week.

“Mixtapes have been out forever, but Lil’ Wayne blew it up, especially in this down-load era. Look what he did for album sales,” Hebert said. “He had out one mixtape a week, and then his album shipped a million copies in a week. A lot of people come in here to find those hits all done by new DJs from New York. That has been a real help for us.”

Another odd soldier in the indie record store fight to stay

alive is, well, the record.While digital downloads

continue to crash CD sales, the old throwback of vinyl is making a silent surge.

Almost 1 million vinyl records were sold in 2007, up from 858,000 in 2006, accord-ing to a recent article in Roll-ing Stone.

This year, projected sales could top 1.8 million, accord-ing to the Recording Industry Association of America.

Hebert said most national artists, from Fleet Foxes to Lil’ Wayne, are pressing vinyl, while veteran rock acts are re-releasing classic records on new vinyl, putting a code to download the album digitally as well in the album sleeve.

Hebert, who’s got about 10,000 used LPs in the Vinyl Room, said he gets a kick out of the young kids discovering the golden nuggets of rock.

“One thing that has had huge impact on saving the record industry is the vinyl aspect,” Hebert said. “I see the kids 12 years old getting into the old vinyl records after they hear the songs on Guitar Hero. People have always said it has the purest sound and they’re right.”
