SING-A-LONG KING

His stardom was short-lived, but he went out with gratitude Mitch Miller died a couple of weeks ago. Didn’t know him? You’re not alone.

Intro Series Two-class introduction No need to fear the unknown.

Preston Forest Village 11661 Preston Rd #206 214.764.2119 x102 North Dallas 14902 Preston Rd #612 214.764.2119 x104

Even if you’ve been following the music scene for the past 40 years, you may not remember the guy best known for a single accomplishment: a television show called “Sing Along With Mitch” that was popular from 1961-1964.

According to a New York Times obituary, Miller was a talented musician (he played the oboe for major orchestras in the 1940s and ’50s) and a big-time producer (he resurrected the careers of Rosemary Clooney and Tony Bennett). For awhile, he seemed to have the golden touch, culminating with a TV show based on a simple premise: Viewers sang along with his men’s chorus while a ball bounced atop lyrics scrolling along the screen.

For several years, “Sing Along With Mitch” was all the rage on TV, as people watched the crisply dressed, goateed Miller cruise through renditions of then-favorites such as “It’s A Long Way To Tipperary” and “Home On The Range”.

Highbrow critics disliked the show — one said it was best viewed with the sound off — but for a few years, audiences loved the downhome shtick and atmosphere.

If stardom was his dream, he achieved it. And then the rest of his life happened.

Just as suddenly as Miller stumbled into the limelight, he faded into the shadows. The TV show was canceled. He failed to sign Elvis Presley for his record label. He passed on signing Buddy Holly. He trashed the then-budding rock ‘n’ roll movement, memorably saying: “It’s not music. It’s a disease.” He effectively shoveled dirt on his own musical grave.

The years passed, and his legacy gathered dust. Then things became even worse.

Shopping malls began playing “Sing Along With Mitch” to drive away loitering teens, and ATF agents used “Sing Along” Christmas carols in an attempt to flush Waco’s David Koresh out of his Branch Davidian compound.

Seeing his greatest accomplishment turned into a running joke had to hurt. But Miller hung around showbiz, producing a few Broadway musicals (mostly failures) and periodically serving as a guest symphony conductor.

Maybe it wasn’t the life he dreamed of — it definitely wasn’t the life he lived earlier — but

it appears he made the best of it.

It turns out I was in Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan at the same time Miller was there dying. But I didn’t know it, because there was no celebrity buzz in the halls and no paparazzi encamped in the lobby.

When Miller died at 99, he had lived long enough to see himself go from celebrity to afterthought. At the end of his obituary, this caught my eye:

If stardom was his dream, he achieved it. And then the rest of his life happened.

“What pleased me the most,” Miller told an interviewer asking about his life, “was a fellow who came up to me after a concert in Chicago and said, ‘You know, there’s nobody in the whole country who hasn’t been touched by your music in some way.’

“That really made me feel good.”

It appears that what mattered most to Miller when his road ended was the journey.

10 EASY STEPS To Help Save The World...One Yard at a Time 5 DONT’S

5 DO’S 1. Use compost. (it adds life and energy to your soil) 2. Pull weeds. (it aerates the soil, burns calories and some go great in salads) 3. Disinfect and sharpen all landscape tools. (grass is supposed to be cut not beaten to death) 4. Mow higher. (the roots will grow deeper and you will water less) 5. Plant at least one edible plant in your JDUGHQ DQG UHOHDVH EHQHÀFLDO LQVHFWV (it helps connect you to the earth)

1. Don’t use salt based chemical fertilizer. (it burns the life and energy out of your soil) 2. Don’t use herbicides. (they kill trees and pollute our water) 3. Don’t use pesticides. (if you touch or smell it, it starts causing metabolic mayhem) 4. Don’t over-water. (you are wasting money and stressing your plants) 5. Don’t scalp your lawn. (sun’s ultraviolet light destroys the microbes in your soil)

NEIGHBORS AND SERVICE Neighborhood Services Bar & Grille opened last month at Preston and Royal where Baby Gap used to be. My neighborhood bestie and I went to catch up (after way too long) and were looking forward to checking out the newest restaurant in the ‘hood. The place was packed. We couldn’t stop wondering why it seemed so much smaller than the Gap we spent hours and hours in shopping for our kids before it closed. We decided we felt like we were in Ralph Lauren’s den at a really loud cocktail party.

VOTE AGAINST HELIPORT, GET A BOTTLE OF WINE Regular visitors here know that I think the worst budget calamity in a city budget full of calamities is the approximately $250,000 earmarked for the city’s “vertiport” at the convention center. So here’s my offer to the city council. I’ll donate a bottle of wine to the campaign of any council member who votes to take the vertiport out of the budget. Yes, I know what you’re thinking — Siegel is offering a bribe. Heaven forfend. That certainly doesn’t happen in Dallas.

VILLAGE TEA TO REOPEN AS I HEART BOBA You may have noticed the vacant Village Tea Company storefront at Preston and Forest, which just opened last fall. They shut it down in June, sold everything at auction but will reopen as a boba tea shop in the same location. I have to say, I’m excited about this new store, I Heart Boba ... to open the first week of September.

SEPTEMBER 2010

LAUNCH artist in residence Lori McCracken grew up around country music, traveling around East Texas honkytonks with her parents’ band, her diaper hooked to her mother’s bass drum during shows. “It wasn’t a classic childhood, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world.” Now, she’s following in her parents’ footsteps, singing and playing all over Dallas.

McCracken’s music harks back to the good ol’ days of country music with influences like Patsy Cline and Tammy Wynette. “I feel like now, music has lent itself to pop and pop country,” McCracken says. “I’m ready to get back to the good, solid, country music. Not much of the younger generation has heard this stuff.” She taught herself to play guitar at age 16 and never took a singing lesson because “you either have it or you don’t,” her mother used to say.

To pay the bills, she works as a graphic designer in Plano, but has begun focusing more on her music. She recently recruited a bassist, Dale Stock, and a drummer, Sarah Biglow, to add more power to her acoustic performances. McCracken has written eight original songs, three of them signed to AudioMoxie records — “80”, “Unforgivable Sin” and her favorite, “Stuck in Life.” It’s about that undeniable feeling of wanting to move on from the usual. “Man, if I could just sing and play, I’d be so much happier.” For updates on her shows this month, search for Lori McCracken on Facebook.

A guide to dining & drinking in our neighborhood

vIEW A vIdEo at prestonhollow.advocatemag.com/dining

GAME TIME FroM ThE roAd, TIME ouT TAvErn looks like a tiny dive bar nestled among the upscale shops at Lovers and Inwood. But inside, you’ll find everyone from blue-collar workers to corporate executives.

Co-owner Kevin McCormack calls it a “nice dive” with “normal people.” He and partner Al Merry bought the bar in the 1980s, pulled it out of debt, and opened it as Time Out Tavern in 1989, inspired by old-fashioned sports bars in Chicago. “It has to have some character,” McCormack says. “It has to have that neighborhood feel.” Countless pieces of sports memorabilia line the walls, including team flags, banners, newspaper clippings and photographs.

Most of them came from garage sales or patron donations. Instead of a signature drink, the bar promotes the latest-and-greatest products such as Patron XO coffee-infused tequila and bubblegumflavored vodka. “Instead of having a signature drink, you might be better off experimenting and getting people to try new things,” McCormack says.

Screwcaps aren’t a joke any more. Screwcaps and artificial corks accounted for one-quarter of the wine market in 2009 — compared to just 10 percent at the turn of the century. Meanwhile, the number of screwcaps increases by an estimated 500 million worldwide every year, and more and more expensive, high-quality wines are closed with screwcaps instead of traditional corks.

About the only area of wine where screwcaps haven’t made inroads is with the most expensive wines (and you can find $100 wines with screwcaps). Otherwise, they’re all over the place.

And why has this happened? Natural cork suffered through horrific quality-control problems in the past decade, when as many as 1 of 10 bottles of wine may have been spoiled by a bad cork. (The technical term is TCA taint, a chemical process that makes the wine smell like a wet basement.) And though cork’s quality has improved over the past several years, screwcaps are here to stay. They may not take over the world as it was once thought they would, but they still offer quality, especially for wines that don’t have to age.

And they’re much easier to open. These screwcap wines offer a good overview of why the closure has become such a success. All of these are available at Central Market: &ODUNVEXUJ &1: This California white is a blend of viognier and chenin blanc — fresh, crisp and fruity, which makes it an ideal screwcap wine. Chill it, twist it open, and enjoy it with grilled chicken with a minimum of fuss.

-LP -LP 6KLUD] I’m not a big fan of Australian shiraz, which can be pretentious and difficult to drink — literally, thanks to too much fruit and too much alcohol. That’s not the case with the Jim Jim, which has plenty of shiraz character but without the phoniness.

6S\ 9DOOH\ 6DXYLJQRQ %ODQF New Zealand’s wines were among the first to adapt screwcaps, which suit the wines they make — bright and full of citrus and tropical fruits. Spy Valley may make the best sauvignon blanc in the world (and its riesling is even better).

1. Wash the mussels under cool running water, and remove the beard (the stringy part on the side of the shell), if any. Farmraised mussels, which are sold in most supermarkets, will be fairly clean and mostly beardless. After washing, throw away any mussels that aren’t tightly closed. If it’s open, gently tap the shell, and it should close.

2. Combine everything in a heavy pot, cover, and bring to a boil over high heat.

Cook for two minutes. If the mussels have opened, they’re ready. If not, cook for another 30 to 60 seconds.

3. Remove the mussels from the pot with a slotted spoon to a large bowl. Then, carefully pour the liquid in the pot into the bowl with the mussels, making sure not to pour the liquid at the bottom of the pot, which can be sandy, into the bowl.

Early-morning jogs, strict diets and punishing workouts are par for the course when you are a professional athlete. But what about the attorney, salesman or student who has a relentless passion for a particular sport?

We’re not talking about your typical weekend warrior, but the hard-core athlete driven by something deeper than a desire to have fun or shed pounds.

ROLLER DERBY

AKA

MEG WEATHERS

DAISY SHOOTS

Some girls brave enough to sign up for roller derby end up with shattered bones, but neighborhood resident Meg Weathers has been lucky to sustain only some bruises and a popped shoulder joint.

“It’s a little bit of a badge of honor,” she says. “I’m almost embarrassed not to tell you I have more. My friend has a hematoma on her leg, and I was a little jealous.”

Weathers, known on the rink as Daisy Shoots, has been playing in the Assassination City Roller Derby League for about year with the Deadly Kennedys. The girls play on the third Saturday of each month from January to October. All four teams will compete in the championship round this month. Although it might look like a bunch of girls skating around in a circle trying to hammer each other, there’s more to it than that.

“It’s all about strategy,” Weathers says. “I think you kind of find a couple of things you’re good at. I’m fast, I can get in front of people. It’s incredibly engaging. You’re looking backward, but you’re skating forward. I get smacked pretty hard, so I fly pretty far.”

Sometimes, right into audience members’ laps. But that’s part of the fun, Weathers says.

“We like our fans to be that close. The energy level is awesome. People are wearing their team colors. It feels really cool because there are a lot people watching you, banging on the walls. My family’s staring right at me. The audience is always going crazy. I can’t think of a sport where you get that kind of exposure.”

When she’s not at her day job working for a local marketing firm, Weathers practices at least twice a week with the league and does yoga on her own to stay flexible. Though Weathers has been working out for years, she has never been much into sports. She actually studied theater in college.

“It’s a sport where people who are nonathletes become athletes,” she says about roller derby. “I think that’s a beautiful thing. It’s made me confident and not doubt myself. The other stuff in your life doesn’t seem so daunting. Assassination City is like a huge family. I have a huge amount of respect for all the girls.”

Reza Anvarian’s alarm sounds at 4 a.m. every morning, and he hits the pavement by 4:45. He runs 5 to 7 miles, swims 2,000 meters and bikes about 40 miles — all in a day’s work.

And somewhere in between, he runs a restaurant.

If you’ve frequented Southpaw’s Organic Café on Berkshire, you’ve probably seen Anvarian behind the counter chopping veggies and whipping up healthy rice bowls. When he’s not at the store, he’s training for the Longhorn Half Ironman set for early October in Austin. The triathlon includes a 1.2-mile open water swim, 56-mile bike ride and a half marathon. He’s been preparing for about three months now.

“It just feels good,” he says. “I’m addicted.”

“I’m looking for a Realtor who loves this neighborhood as much as I do.”

“I eat super clean during the week. This is a lifestyle, but it’s not my life.”

While Anvarian has always been an athlete, triathlons are new to him.

That’s because this Golden Glovewinner spent most of his life as a boxer. He started at age 12, right after he moved to the U.S. from Azerbaijan in Eastern Europe. He went pro for two years before retiring and settling down in the restaurant business.

He completed his first triathlon in Austin’s 2008 CapTex race after his trainer’s wife bet he couldn’t do it.

“To prove her wrong, I went out there, and I did it,” Anvarian says.

Owning a health food store makes it easy for him to eat well every day. But he doesn’t cut out all of the fun. He allows one “cheat meal” a week, like his recent trip to Twisted Root where he indulged in a burger, French fries and fried pickles. After cheating, he returns to his strict regimen.

“I eat super clean during the week.

This is a lifestyle, but it’s not my life.”

But it still takes some serious commitment.

“To be able to say I did Ironman, I don’t think there’s anything tougher.”

Piacenti

Ron

As a kid, ron piacenti and his buddies played baseball all day long, grabbing up every bit of daylight they could.

“We stayed until the streetlights came on,” piacenti says, since his mother had ordered him home by dark.

He went on to play college ball at Vanderbilt University, and his team won the southeastern Conference championship twice. At age 57, piacenti is still going strong, playing for the Cubs in the North texas men’s senior baseball League, one of the most competitive in the area. He has been playing shortstop in the 35-and-over division since 1995, working harder to compete with younger players.

attributes her success to Commercial real estate Women Dallas (CreW). the nonprofit organization provides mentoring, marketing and business opportunities to women in the industry, and this year the group marks its 30th anniversary. “even in the early to mid-’80s, there were women out there who knew the value of CreW. I knew it immediately,” says Hosford, who joined in 1985 and served as president in 1994.

It started in 1980 with a small group of 12 women networking over lunch, exchanging ideas and learning from each other how to succeed in a maledominated business. that eventually evolved into regular speakers, panel discussions and workshops. today, CreW has more than 300 local professionals affiliated with 8,000 members nationally through other networks throughout the U.s. and Canada.

“I would say that for 15 years now, maybe more, more than half of my business connections are from CreW,” Hosford says. “A good bit of that is national connections.” but it wasn’t all about getting ahead. the members also wanted to give back to the community. Hosford incorporated CreW’s 510(c)3 status and served on the board of trustees, helping the organization carry out its philanthropic mission, CreW Careers — helping disadvantaged girls pursue a good career, whether in commercial real estate or any other field.

“We want to be the women who help other women,” Hosford says. “We got into this to help other women.” they started in 2003 by giving to Girls Inc. and Dallas Habitat for Humanity. Neighborhood resident eliza solender, a broker with solender -Hall Inc. and 1995 CreW Dallas president, co-founded the national CreW Foundation. she says the Dallas chapter paved the way, and CreW Career programs soon began rolling out to chapters throughout the country.

“Using Dallas’ philanthropic model, we inspired on the national level to give back,” solender says. eventually, as the needs of charities increased, CreW partnered with the

Dallas Women’s Foundation to cover more ground.

“We outsourced it to the experts,” Hosford says.

CreW board members submitted recommendations to the foundation, and over the years, grants have been awarded to nonprofits such as the Family place, susan G. Komen for the Cure, Genesis Women’s shelter, YWCA of metropolitan Dallas and Interfaith Housing Coalition, as well as a more concentrated effort with the Irma Lerma rangel school, a DIsD

Today, CREW has more than 300 local professionals affiliated with 8,000 members nationally through other networks throughout the U.S. and Canada.

magnet school for girls in grades six through 12. since 1985, CreW Dallas has raised $2.8 million for more than 40 local nonprofits focused on helping women and girls.

“Women are really interested in giving back to the community,” Hosford says. “(We want) to show disadvantaged girls that they can do more than flip burgers.” solender, whose brokerage company represents nonprofits, says her involvement with CreW shaped her life.

“It was very helpful to have other women I could talk to,” solender says. “they were mentors. It really makes me much more valuable as a leader.” the commercial real estate industry has come a long way, solender says, and the best part is when there’s a room full of CreW members negotiating a deal. really, a room full of friends. “that’s really fun.”
