Get news ‘inthe day after it An unusual new business in the greater Back Mountain Area will become a reality when the ¢DO-RE” Music Centre holds its grand opening Nov. 2-4. Located on Main Street in the heart of Dallas, ‘‘DO-RE” is projected as a full-service music center. meeting the needs of performer, student, amateur, professional and teacher. Z The firm name, interestingly enough, is derived from the first two letters of the owner- operators’ names, Donald S. Anthony and Reese E. Pelton, both long-time residents of this area. Between them they bring to the business a solid professional involvement with music. Don, who operates the West Side Clinical Laboratory in Kingston, has held many positions as organist and choir director of churches, as ac- companist for the Irem Snnters and organist for the Shrine, among other musical involvements. = Reese, a member of the music in- structional staff in the Dallas Area schools, is rounding out 25 years of school and college teaching, private instruction, professional performance, conducting and arranging. growing greater Back Mountain area abounds in many types of musicians with a variety of interests and needs, the owners plan to offer services in most direct musical areas. Pianos, organs, band and orchestra instruments, guitars, recreational items. all ac- cessories,, all types of music, and other items will be stocked. In addition, a staff of competent teachers of most instruments is being engaged to offer private instruction. DO-RE Music Centre, which A linguist as defined in Web- ster’s dictionary is ‘one who is accomplished in several lan- guages’. Though it may seem far-fetched, ‘linguist’ to this particular reporter could mean Marie Ciccarelli, ‘one who is accomplished in preparing foods native to several nations.’ Marie, slender, striking, blue- eyed blonde of Russian descent, prepares and serves equally delectable menus whether they be Russian, Polish, Italian or American dishes. The former Marie Katulka of Plains, she married Albert Ciccarelli of Pringle in 1957. Al, being of pure Italian descent, was accustomed to and enjoyed Italian cooking in which his mother is most proficient. So in order to prepare meals he en- joyed, before moving into their new home on Columbia Avenue, several months with Al's parents where his mother gave Marie her first lessons in Italian cooking. Having. inherited her own mother’s ability to prepare tasty dishes of Russian and Polish origin, Marie needed little training in order to serve savory Slavic menus to her family and friends. During the married, she has collected a wide variety of recipes—some in the family for years, others favorites of friends and still others relative to well-known restaurants. As some persons have a ‘green thumb,” it might be said - that Marie has a ‘“chef’s” thumb for no matter the dish, simple or gourmet, that she prepares it is mouth- A versatile individual, she is employed as a bookkeeper at Plains Blouse Co., a position she has held since before her marriage, taking time off only long enough to have two lovely daughters, Lisa nine years, and Sheri Ann six years, both students at Gate of Heaven School. Bowling is her favorite sport and since she first rolled a bowling ball down the lanes in 1957 at Crown Imperial Lanes, Dallas, she has continued the game, improving with each year and becoming member of the Traveling League, top women’s league in the Valley. Her husband became interested in bowling at the same time and like Marie has continued to enjoy the game, bowling in the Tuesday Night General Motors League and the Men’s Tra- veling League and carrying an average in the 190’s. Both Marie and Al are out- door people and with their two girls spend many hours fishing-—fresh-water = fishing, that is—and when the season searching for and picking mushrooms since Marie uses them in many of her favorite re- cipes. This year, Marie told the Post, they are very scarce due to dry weather the last few weeks. Although she does not" share his enthusiasm for hunting, both small game and deer, Marie does prepare delicious dishes from the game he brings home. Both are members of the Century Club and rarely miss the affairs sponsored by that or- ganization, especially the dinner-dances, for Marie is an accomplished dancer and seldom sits out a number. However, her first love is her home and family and she enjoys nothing more than preparing tasty dishes and decorating and re-decorating their lovely ranch-style home. Originally a small ranch home, several years ago the Ciccarellis did an extensive remodeling job on their home, enlarging their kit- chen to include a large dining area and adding another bed- room. - : ve Her kitchen, done in redwood with blue appointments and accessories, is conducive to the enjoyment Marie gains from preparing tempting menus and her special talent for original and gracious serving makes her invitations most sought after among her friends. In selecting recipes to share with: our readers, Marie re- served her traditional holiday recipes for a time closer to the Yuletide season and for this time chose several favorites of her family...and because Al is often successful in bringing home a deer she offered her favorite recipe for preparing venison. After hearing her sister-in-law speak en- thusiastically about Marie's “stuffed shells’ the Post urged her to include her recipe for these.
