Early deadlines for next issue ~The office of The Dallas Post will be closed all day Monday, May 29 for the Memorial Day holiday. The dead- line for all news and advertising copy for the May 31 issue will be Friday at 4 p.m. Late copy may be left in the drop box Oliver looks healthy and claims he is. His method is simple: “The catering side of my business keeps me in shape. Just try lugging around the chairs, tables, equip- ment and food for a party of sev- eral hundred and you'd get heathy too. But don't get me wrong... love it!” The catering side of D H Oliver Foods is not too visible, but repeat business and new word-of-mouth business keep a staff of 15 hop- ping. They can cater to weddings or special events for parties from 2 to 350. Four years ago Oliver's business got off to a running start and his staff hasn't stopped yet. Some definitions will aid this chronicle. For example, a “gour- mand” is a “person who is fond of good eating.” (That's like you and me.) A “gourmet” is a “person who is expert in judging and choosing fine foods, wine, etc.” (That's like only a fewof us.) while a “gourmet chief” is self-explanatory. (That's Mr. Oliver.) What used to be his avocation is now his full-time occupation, and he couldn't be happier. Those airports are only a memory. Of course, running the business takes up a lot of time, but no need to guess where he can be found on the chef's day off...right, in the kitchen cooking away! The retail store in Dallas is, according to a housewife from Huntsville Road, a “dangerous place tovisit.”" She was overheard muttering to herself while leaving with bags of goodies, “This place 1s addictive.” Nowonder. There are 30 differ- ent types of coffee beans (you can grind your own or they'll do it for you) 40 kinds of tea, including the ~ famous Earl Grey (and how does tea flavored “peach-apricot” grab you?) There is more, much more. Dozens of exotic pasta, like Lemon Linguini, Onion-Dill flavor, To- mato Angel Hair, Spices, herbs, five kinds of fettucini. Bags, and jars, and boxes, and cans, filled with stuff. Stuff you can't find in the corner grocery. Staff at Machell Avenue in- cludes Michelle Baur, chef and a grad of Pittsburgh Culinary School; Margo Vigorito, cook, from Harveys Lake; and Susan Davis, Dallas, counterperson. Thereisa . bright dining room seating 30 but a new take-out wrinkle predomi- ENTERTAINMENT “Most of our customers I know by name now.” Dennis Oliver D.H. Oliver Foods nates. It brings him lots of new “steadies.” Oliver considered what hap- pens when you take hot food home. “Cools*off, right?” he asks. “By the time you're ready to eat it needs rewarming, and that's when food can dry out and become tasteless. Warming should only be done once, and gently at that. Everyone has a microwave so our takeout specials are sold cooked but cold. One heating at home and it's hot and still tasty.” it works. His daily specials (he changes all the time, saying, “No one wants the same thing over and over. We like variety.”) have been popular, offering dinner for two, at two prices. Soup, pasta and a salad for two are only $9.99, The next level at $14.99 adds a chicken or fish entree (he says beef is not all that popular.) It is clear those prices beat dining out hands down. A wide sandwich menu is also available. Oliver adds, “Most of our cus- tomers I know by name now. They have come to rely on us for things they missed...a few extra roast new potatoes. Or salads. Or des- serts. We fill oversights for them, but we also sell completedinners, like salmon loaf, or turkey breast, or ‘Algerian’ chicken (can't be described - you have to taste it) plus seafood salad and other sal- ads.” Those are in one display case. In another are desserts to blow your mind and appetite both: German chocolate cake, cheese- cakes, walnut cookies, tortes, and “Biscotti,” which is an Italian “dipping” cookie. (Had enough?) Last, but most importantly, Oliver points out, “We are as health conscious as you are. Our foods are low in fat, cholesterol and sodium. We use only canola and olive oil or light mayonnaise, Ifit makes sense, we use it!" This article ends right here.

DOVE Harveys Lake firefighters battled a fire at the home of Joseph and Sandra Dobrowalski of Oak Street Friday afternoon. The fire started behind a refrigerator and damaged the inside of the house. No injuries were reported, but the family dog died in the fire. Fire truck (continued from page 1) The Back Mountain has an excellent mutual aid relationship with Kingston and Edwardsville, but Beisel believes it needs an aerial ladder truck of its own. “Aerial ladder trucks are great for roof work," Beisel said. “We can quickly and easily get men and water where they're needed. They're much safer than a regular ladder for rescuing people from their homes or apartments. They're a versatile piece of equip- ment.” The truck, which will just fit into the fire company's fourth garage bay, is expected to cost between $300,000 and $500,000, Beisel doesn't have a more defi- nite figure because the fire com- pany hasn't drawn up the specifi- cations yet. Firefighters have set up a large can collection bin for donations in front of the fire company on Main Street, Response has been “sur- prisingly good,” according to Jim Klug, who does the fire company's public relations work. THE “It’s the only piece of equipment the Back Mountain doesn’t have.” Gary Beisel Shavertown fire chief DOUGH COMPANY "Your Hometown Restaurant" “Our members have been recy- cling aluminum cans for about the past year," Klug said. “Already we've raised enough money to buy additional equipment and pay for maintenance on our trucks.” At the going rate of 45¢-50¢ a pound, $300,000 is a lot of cans. sisU “The cans are only one of the - many fundraisers we plan to have,” Beisel said. “We're also starting to explore state grants and loans.” For more information on the aluminum can drive or to have cans picked up, call 675-1302.
