Change of anchors pending at CBS11
By Ed Bark
unclebarky@verizon.net Changes at the very top of the local TV news anchor hierarchy are few and far between. Reporters come and go, but the standard bearers at Fox4, NBC5, WFAA and CBS11 tend to come at you night after night after night. Sometimes they even span generations. Until this month, the last departure had been WFAA veteran Gloria Campos, who retired amid much fanfare in March of 2014. On Thursday of last week, CBS11’s weeknight co-anchor, Kaley O’Kelley, announced rather suddenly on her Facebook page and to the newsroom that she’ll be leaving the station to pursue a “better work/life balance.” Her last day is scheduled for Wednesday, May 23, not coincidentally the closing night of the May “sweeps” ratings period. O’Kelley, who began teaming with incumbent CBS11 anchor Doug Dunbar

Kaley O'Kelley is leaving CBS11 news. in January 2015, said via Facebook that she is “definitely NOT leaving my career forever.

your friendly correspondent. “My decision isn’t only about ‘going home to spend time with my kids,’” O’Kelley said. “I enjoy working. But being away from my family at night doesn’t allow me to be the kind of mom I want to be. I am grateful to CBS11 for the opportunity to anchor their primetime newscasts and their generous offer to stay on the nightside shift. Being a weekend mom, though, isn’t enough for me and I’m positive there IS an opportunity that offers a better-fitting schedule for my family.” O’Kelley and her husband have two young children. In January of this year, she had a health scare after being hit with what she called “excruciating pain just before the holidays.” She took an extended leave of absence to undergo a hysterectomy by the same Scottsdale, Ariz.-based doctor who delivered her CHANGE cont'd on page 9

renewable resources (mainly geothermal) and they have plans to become free of fossil fuels by 2050. Some of their city buses currently run on hydrogen. They’ve mastered the art of mixing green space with city life, as about nine out of 10 residents live less than a five minute walk to a green space. The other city on my current list is Barcelona, Spain. After reading about their “superilles” (superblocks) a few years ago, I became hooked. The city’s initiative is to close down through traffic of cars in several city centers to create highly walkable inner city spaces. They turned their city from one designed for cars, to a people-focused community where shops and businesses thrive. Barcelona is also known to have some elegant environmentally
friendly accommodations as well. Sounds like a perfect spot to enjoy a visit and pick up some sustainable home improvement ideas! Yes, all of the cities above have their environmental problems. Similar to the environmental cost travel has as well. Make the most of your trip, find the successful ideas from your travels this summer and bring them back to our community in Dallas.

Sp tlight ELISA PROJECT
Those suffering from eating disorders are treated, supported and given access to tools needed for recovery.
By Sally Blanton
sallyblanton455@gmail.com Each week, Katy Trail Weekly will feature a charity that is doing remarkable work in Dallas, a city known for philanthropy and generosity.
QW hat is your mission or highest
purpose? The Elisa Project (TEP) is dedicated to fighting against eating disorders through awareness education, recovery support and advocacy.
A
QW hy are you passionate about helping
this charity? I’ve had many friends who suffered from this horrible illness — an eating disorder. When I came to TEP, I thought I knew what that was, but I soon realized I had no idea what an eating disorder illness REALLY was. I soon became exceedingly passionate about our mission. Eating disorders are monsters, but the individuals who have them are the kindest, most caring, giving, smart and funny people you will ever know. Working at TEP has blessed my life. I will do anything to help them.
A
Q H ow did your career path lead you to
this position? What were a few of your prior jobs? Nationwide, TEP is the first grassroots nonprofit started to fight eating disorders. We were founded by Rick and Leslie McCall who lost Elisa, their daughter, to an eating disorder. After witnessing the vast need for services, TEP board members become committed to taking the organization to the next level. My mission expertise was in running a nonprofit that housed a child fatality team and helped prosecute crimes against children. With my 20 years working in nonprofit, I guess the TEP board thought I was a good fit.
A
Q H ow deadly is this disease?
A Eating disorders kill one person every 62 minutes.
Q A bout how many people are served each year?
A Through all of our programs, more than 12,000 individuals in 2017.
QW hat percentage of every dollar raised goes to client/direct services?
A Seventy-five percent.
QW hat are your critical needs now, besides money donations?
A More hands and feet on the ground
helping clients. We also need for eating disorder to become de-stigmatized so people will ask for help.
QW hat upcoming fundraisers are on the calendar?
A Our seventh annual Dallas NEDA Walk
is Saturday, May 19 at the University of Texas at Dallas campus. We need walkers to form teams. It’s $25 to participate.
QW hat volunteer jobs are available?
A We have about 120+ passionate volun-
teers who do everything from helping us with events, to making crafts that support others who are recovering.

MOVIE TRAILER
'Life of the Party' lifeless By Chic DiCiccio @chiccywood
Here’s a non-gender specific movie premise: divorced, middle aged, college dropout decides to finish college with their about to graduate daughter. Hijinks ensue. No, it doesn’t star Adam Sandler. This is, in fact, another horrendous Melissa McCarthy comedy vehicle with an equally horrendous title, “Life of the Party.” It’s the third clunker (after “Tammy” and “The Boss”) from McCarthy and her husband, Ben Falcone, who simply must stop writing movies together. This is potentially the worst of them all as it neuters McCarthy’s whip-smart tongue and turns into a PG-13 cringeworthy, corny mess. One would assume that a comedy of this kind would be a raunchy, fish out of water romp. “Life of the Party” doesn’t even get college student debauchery correct. The paper-thin plot completely hinges on episodic moments of collegiate insanity that make “Animal House” seem like hardcore pornography. The college kids, who all look like 30 year olds, speak like how 50 year olds think they speak

RECIPE OF THE WEEK
It’s all Greek to me By Dotty Griffith
dotty.griffith@yahoo.com Roux Bistro cooks branzino, a Mediterranean sea bass, the classic Greek way. Simply seasoned and grilled. A drizzle of olive oil to finish the dish gives it additional richness. This recipe makes one generous serving. It could easily do for two.
2 (8-ounce) branzino fillets, scaled and skin on 1 tablespoon (equal parts) olive and canola oils 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided use 1 teaspoon pepper, divided use 1/4 pound haricots vert (French green beans) 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion 1/2 Roma tomato, seeded and finely chopped 2 to 3 tablespoons sliced Kalamata olives 1 tablespoon capers, drained 1 teaspoon fresh oregano 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil Additional olive oil as needed Thin slice(s) lemon Heat grill if using to cook fish. Rinse fish fillets and pat dry. Rub the fish fillets with half of the olive oil blend on both sides. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Set aside until ready to cook. In a medium sauté pan over high heat, bring 2 cups water to a boil. Add haricots vert. When water returns to the boil, cook 30 seconds. Pour beans into a colander and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. Place on paper towels to drain and cool. Dry the sauté pan and return

to medium heat. Add the rest of the olive oil blend and heat until smoking. Add the red onions and cook 1 to 2 minutes or until translucent. Add the haricots vert. Stir and cook for 1 minute. Remove from direct heat but keep warm. Chargrill the fillets on a hot, oiled grill, with flesh down for 1 minute. Rotate the fish a quarter turn to diamond mark it and cook for 1 minute longer. Using a spatula, turn the fish skin side down and grill another 1 to 2 minutes or just until fish turns white. Or if desired, place a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add additional tablespoon olive-canola oil blend. When oil is very hot and shimmery, place fillets in pan, flesh side down. Cook 2 minutes. Turn fish skin side down. Cook another 1 to 2 minutes or just until fish turns white. Carefully remove fish from pan and keep warm. Return large sauté pan to medium heat and add tomatoes, Kalamata olives, capers and oregano. Season with 1/2 teaspoon (each) salt and pepper. Stir and cook about 1 minute or until capers are brown and crisp. To serve, place beans on a plate. Lay cooked fish fillets on the beans. Top the fillets with the caper mixture. If desired, drizzle with additional olive oil. Garnish with lemon slice(s). Makes 1 serving.

By Candy Evans
candace@candysdirt.com What could turn Ralph Lauren green with envy and make him want a luxury home in Dallas? The answer is easy. Any of the homes we feature on CandysDirt.com, which I Candace Evans hope you read daily. It’s our Monday Morning Millionaire — a majestic mountain-style mansion retreat at 4656 Meadowood Road — in the honeypot of Old Preston Hollow. Talmadge Tinsley, one of Dallas’ venerable builders, created this home for himself. And to quote my mantra, “If you can purchase a home built by a builder, for himself, jump on it!” This home has, to our knowledge — which is deep — not been on the market since Tinsley sold it to one of our most avid Dallas philanthropists, who was also a keen outdoorsman. This is the sort of home that is so spectacular, so filled with character, that it takes your breath away. The photographs, although fabulous, don’t do it justice. We are madly, deeply, and totally in love with this majestic mountain-style mansion retreat. Tinsley built the 13,220-square-foot home in 1987, and I want you to think about that. This house was so cutting edge back then that I was hard-pressed to believe it was built almost 30 years ago. Tinsley hired the best of the best to create this majestic mountain-style mansion, including landscape architect Naud Burnett with Kevin Clark/Naud Burnett Landscape Designs to create just over three acres of grounds that rival any arboretum. Seamlessly blended into the landscape are a koi pond, swimming pool, tennis court and greenhouse. There are four generous bedrooms, five bathrooms and two powder baths, a private study, a wine room and a yoga room with a Helo sauna. Again, consider the timeline. Tinsley was incredibly forward thinking. Most builders were using tumbled stone and glass block everywhere, and designers were putting up Tropical Jungle Monkey in the Trees wallpaper and painting dining rooms red in the late ’80s! I digress. Tinsley was a building genius by anyone’s definition and when he sold his home in 1997, (that’s right, only two families have owned this majestic mountain-style retreat) it was move-in ready then. And it’s move-in ready now. Of course, making it move-in ready falls largely to the stager. After all, any home that has been in a family for 20plus years is filled with personal color and furnishings. So, over to George Bass Stage and Design they went, to allow
ALLIE BETH ALLMAN
4656 Meadowood Road is listed for $9.45 million. this majestic mountain-style retreat to show its true color! “Our job was to make it feel like 2018, so the prospective buyer can relate to it,” Bass said. “With stone floors and wood beams, it was important to soften the look and feel to create a comfortable, current house.” “When we went in to repaint the house, we were all astounded by how meticulously it was built.” The home has the feel of a majestic mountain-style mansion retreat. The foyer is like a grand lodge, reminiscent of an alpine resort. Everything is done on a grand scale from the floors to the beamed ceilings, to the massive windows. “It has a lot of character,” Bass said. “The staircases and rooms are unique. It’s not standard by any means. It’s for someone with a vision.” If you share that vision, call Allie Beth Allman’s Christine McKenny. She has this majestic mountain-style mansion that we are sure Ralph Lauren would love, listed for $9.45 million. Hey Ralph, are you paying attention?

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) You know how to do certain things that must be done this week; your expertise puts you in the spotlight, and others may demand much of you. (May 6-May 20) — You may be troubled by something you cannot quite put your finger on, but later in the week you're likely to recognize that it was wholly of your making. GEMINI (May 21-June 6) You may be surprised to learn that something you were
CANCER (June 21-July 7) Your opinions on a certain matter are likely to be sought out, and you must speak frankly, but in a courteous manner. (July 8-July 22) — You can set another straight on a key matter this week, and as a result he or she is willing to join forces with you and work to achieve one of your goals. LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) You can surely do something the usual way this week, but be ready for it to take much longer than usual. Such delays are unavoidable in most cases. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) — A family member raises objections this week, and you may be put in a difficult position. You want to support everyone you can, but that may not be possible. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) You must avoid the appearance of showing off this week — even though there is a component of that in what you have to do at this time. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) — Don't forget what you are really trying to do, and be sure that those on your team know what is genuine and what is

planning to do sometime later must actually be done this week. You are ready, surely! (June 7-June 20) — You're going to have to juggle many responsibilities this week, and something that is purely fun may have to go on the back burner for now.
Timothy Owens II in Greenhill's "Cry-Baby."
YOUR STARS THIS WEEK The coming week is likely to see the temporary suspension of many rivalries, as at least one member of each group recognizes the need to work together to further a cause that all have in common. Questions of policy and administration are likely to arise, and the most important issues will revolve around what is right for the most people — for the needs of the many will surely outweigh the needs of the few. It is this simple axiom that serves as the guiding principle for most. Where things get especially tricky this week is when members of one family fall out on different sides of an issue, for those conflicts are not easily resolved! All must guard against taking things personally, because knee-jerk reactions can only serve to set everyone back. Some may play more than one role this week.

manufactured for effect. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) You can go back and make improvements to something that was finished a long time ago, and as a result it will seem brand-new to all but you. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) — You are likely to be met with objections that simply cannot be countered right now. You will have to go along with what those in charge have planned. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) You're not likely to get a newly assigned task right the first time; you must be willing to go back and make corrections — more than once.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) Something goes missing this week, and something else is found. You may call it a wash if you want to — but you'll still want to investigate.

(Feb. 4-Feb. 18) — You have many things to tend to this week, but it can't all be done at once. Choosing the right thing to work on first can make all the difference. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) You can surprise a rival with something you've long been planning, but has been kept under wraps all that time. (March 6-March 20) — It's a good time to get closer to someone you may consider an enemy; study how he or she operates under pressure. ARIES (March 21-April 4) Organization is the key to success this week; don't fool yourself into thinking a random approach is any good at all. Buckle down!

deep part of winter. It can also get very hot midday during the summer months. Remember to bring a hat, sunscreen and sunglasses. Rain is rare. The dry air takes some getting used to (a moisturizing cream is handy), and some people have a problem getting used to the elevation. But for the most part the agreeable climate attracts many to town. One of the first places most tourists head to is “Canyon Road,” a street on the edge of The Plaza area where art galleries line the street with a few restaurants interspersed. Here you’ll find all sorts of art, from a studio specializing in tree sculptures, to another concentrating on bears, and everything in between. Movable sculptures predominate in several of the galleries. These weathervane structures are mesmerizing. As you pass each gallery you will be welcomed in to browse and learn about the artists. Although you can walk to and along Canyon Road, you might want to drive. Except when there is a festival in Santa Fe, during which the number of tourists peaks, there is not a sense of overwhelming crowds and parking is relatively easy to find. Heading back to the center of the city you should head to the park at the center of The Plaza, known as Historic Plaza.
‘Do you know the way to Santa Fe?’ By Michael Wald
wald.world@yahoo.com Santa Fe, N.M. is a great place to visit for a getaway weekend. It’s only 50 minutes from the Albuquerque airport, with many direct flights, and you can also fly directly to Santa Fe. There is a lot to see in Santa Fe, and a weekend may not be enough time. Most of the activity in Santa Fe is in the center area known as “The Plaza.” It’s a part of town where you find one restaurant, coffee shop, art gallery, boutique, museum and hotel after another. Even though Santa Fe is inhabited primarily by “starving” artists, prices for tourists for art and lodging seem to cater to the wealthy. Even the museums are expensive to visit. The nice thing is the area is entirely walkable, and there’s no charge for looking. There must be a building regulation that requires all the structures to be the same sand color and constructed in a boxlike adobe style. From the outside, this can look very bland and monotonous, if not typically Santa Fe. Once inside these buildings, the creative decorative style skews toward stunning turquoise, bright colors and symmetrical shapes derived from indigenous art. You can count on the weather in Santa Fe, except during the

Surrounding this park are three top tourist sights: New Mexico Museum of Art, New Mexico History Museum and the Palace of the Governors, in front of which certified-authentic indigenous artists sell their wares in an open-air patio. Down the street is St. Francis Cathedral, and across from the church is the IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Art. Each of the museums mentioned would take a few hours to see, which is why there is a lot to do in Santa Fe. And, as mentioned, each museum charges a pretty penny to visit. Before leaving the cathedral area, try to find the unique chocolate shop, Todos Santos (left), MICHAEL WALD located in a shopping area where Cathedral Place hits E. Palace Avenue. Here a very colorful display of local chocolates combines with a tasty array of flavors in a typical New Mexico structure that makes for a great photo opportunity. Visiting local shops allows you to soak in the Santa Fe culture. There’s a lot more to enjoy about Santa Fe than art. We’ve just touched on one part of The Plaza. Watch for more about Santa Fe in an upcoming article. Michael Wald is a travel specialist with special expertise in Panama adventure travel.

THE SHAPE OF THINGS
Rowing, the latest in group fitness By Stefanie Tapke
stefanietapke@gmail.com The last several decades have seen a plethora of indoor fitness phenomena. From Jazzercise to Crossfit to SoulCycle, there are an often-overwhelming number of options. There is, however, one group fitness trend that stands out from the rest. It is a low-impact, total-body workout often touted as one of the most efficient forms of exercise available. It is indoor rowing. The once Ivy League-only water sport is now making a statement in the boutique fitness industry, and here’s why. Indoor rowing machines, formally known as ergometers, provide (arguably) the best fullbody, cardiovascular workout on the market. Don’t believe me? Studies show that rowing utilizes 84 percent of your body’s muscle mass and every major muscle group. At the beginning of each stroke, the back muscles, quads, hamstrings and calves are activated. As the stroke continues, the abs, triceps, glutes, chest and shoulder muscles are also activated. As you finish the stroke, your biceps and obliques are working hard. If that doesn’t sound like
enough, rowing also keeps your heart rate consistently elevated for a challenging cardio workout. Whether your goal is weight loss, strengthened and toned muscles, or improved cardiovascular fitness, rowing can be your solution. Stefanie Tapke The low-impact motion lends itself well to people of all ages, shapes and sizes. The sport’s national governing body, U.S. Rowing, touts active members from age 13 to 93, supporting their claim of rowing as a lifelong sport. The benefits of rowing speak for themselves. It is a must-have in your workout regimen, but where are you supposed to find it here in Dallas? You’ll find just one place dedicated solely to indoor rowing, and that is City Crew Dallas. Located in Lakewood, the quaint studio offers a smaller class size and personalized, form-centric instruction. There are several
different class types to choose from, all based around the rowing machine. Some formats include strength training circuits or yoga to compliment the HIIT rowing work. City Crew believes rowing with correct form is paramount to clients’ success. Instructors focus on improving technique with their clients while providing an amazing workout at the same time. Teaching new rowers the proper form increases their longevity in the sport and reduces their likelihood of injury. Next time, forego leg day, arm day and back day. Make your next workout a one-stopshop at rowing class. Schedule a visit to
CHANGE cont'd from page 1 children. In O’Kelley’s words, her doctor had expressed “some serious concerns about what is happening.” This latest surgery came after O’Kelley had a “cancer scare” a couple of years ago. At that time, her doctor removed an ovarian cyst and both of her fallopian tubes. O’Kelley did not list any health concerns as reasons for leaving CBS11. She had returned to the station in March after roughly six weeks off the air. CBS11 director of communications Lori Conrad said the station has “nothing to announce at this point” regarding an interim or permanent successor for O’Kelley. During her earlier leave of absence, staffer Gilma Avalos filled in. O’Kelley joined CBS11 from Phoenix’s KTVK-TV, replacing Karen Borta on the 5, 6 and 10 p.m. weeknight newscasts after she accepted a transfer to the station’s early morning shift, where she remains. Borta likewise cited family considerations at the time, saying in a statement that anchoring in the a.m. “seemed almost too good to be true. Professionally, it’s an exciting challenge which will allow me to spread my wings a bit. But more important to me personally is that this is incredibly awesome for my family life. My three children are now in high school and junior high. This new
schedule will finally allow me to do the things that so many people take for granted, such as eating dinner with my family and attending my kids’ weeknight games — all things I often missed when working nights.” CBS11 continues to struggle in both the early morning and late night newscast ratings while fans of Borta speculate that perhaps she’ll return to the late shift where she co-anchored with Tracy Rowlett and then Dunbar. Meanwhile, what about the featured news anchors at the three rival TV news stations? Meredith Land and Brian Curtis, with anchor/reporter Kristi Nelson also regularly sitting in, look like they’re solidly in place for the near future at least. And Fox4’s trio of Steve Eagar and Heather Hays (at 6 and 9 p.m.) and Clarice Tinsley (soloing at 10 p.m.) also look good to go for quite some time. Tinsley, the dean of local TV anchors, would have to be dynamited out of her chair. That leaves WFAA, whose longtime anchor John McCaa earned a PhD three years ago from the University of Texas at Dallas. McCaa long has talked about teaching after earning this degree, and lately is talking about possibly leaving WFAA at the end of this year. But the emphasis is still on “possibly.” His co-anchor, Cynthia Izaguirre, looks entrenched for years to come.
