After months of struggles, Hawk gives up post

By Molly Evans/ KERA News Susan Hawk announced her resignation as Dallas County district attorney Tuesday afternoon so she can focus on her mental health. In a letter to Gov. Greg Abbott, Hawk wrote “my health needs my undivided attention.”

Hawk has been in and out of treatment for depression and anxiety since August 2015. In May, Hawk was admitted to The Menninger Clinic in Houston, where she spent two months last fall. She returned to Dallas in early June, but wasn’t cleared to work. Days later, she left for

Arizona to continue treatment for depression.

During that time, Hawk said in a news release: “Mental illness is a fluid and dynamic disease that calls for unexpected and prolonged treatment. Like tens of millions of Americans that suffer from mental illness, I did not choose this disease, but I am choosing to treat it aggressively and openly in an effort to provide transparency from our office, and to encourage others living with similar struggles to be proactive in treatment and not live in shame.”

The Dallas Morning News reported in early August that Hawk had worked just 66 days

Hawk has been in office since January 2015.

Abbott will appoint an

interim district attorney but his office gave no immediate indication Tuesday when that may happen.

Gems the size of Texas coming to shine

This week, nearly 30 enormous and spectacular gems (some never before displayed in a museum and some as large as a football!) make their way from the Smithsonian’s world-renowned National Gem Collection in Washington D.C. to Dallas. Never before seen together, these magnificent, Texas-sized gems — officially called “Giant Gems of the Smithsonian” — ­­ will be on display in the Perot Museum of Nature and Science’s “Lyda Hill Gems and Minerals Hall” on Level 3 from Friday, Sept. 9 through mid-January 2017.

This temporary installation will mark the first time such a large collection of Smithsonian gems will be on exhibit outside the famed Washington museum complex.

The stunning exhibit includes an “American Golden” topaz weighing nearly 23,000 carats (more than 10

NOTES FROM THE EDITOR

Austin pushed to the city limits

By David Mullen

david@katytrailweekly.com Noticed that the price of gas conveniently went up $.10 per gallon mid-week, just in time for the Labor Day holiday when millions of Americans David Mullen — including this one — hit the road … Will TxDot ever finish Interstate 35E from Dallas to Austin? Not in my lifetime … Southbound and northbound visits to Czech Stop in West garnered bathroom breaks but no kolaches.

The place was packed in like a can of sardines. Do they make a sardine kolache? They seem to make every other kind. Oh well, Buc-ee’s sells kolaches, and their coffee is better … Austin was on fire this weekend experiencing full flung college football fever.

In a city that is already stretching its infrastructure, taking on hundreds of thousands of visitors this weekend really pushed Austin to the city limits. In all of the sporting events that I have attended, I have never seen more people just come in for the right to party without ever intending to go to the Texas versus Notre Dame game … Fixe on 5th Street and Nueces Street is an upscale restaurant that is part of the burgeoning downtown Austin dining scene. Dubbed “Progressive Southern,” they feature Fixe Biscuits on the appetizer menu for $9. After I stopped laughing, I had to try them and they were amazing … This just crossed my email folder (used to say

“crossed my desk”) and I found it interesting. A press release asks the question “What is the number five business on Entrepreneur magazine’s list of 2016 top new franchises? Answer: iLoveKickboxing. Really? A new location at 3767 Forest Lane is about to become the 19th location in Texas with 61 more slated in the next two years. I guess it is better than opening shooting ranges.

Actually, I should give it a whirl to work off those biscuits I had this weekend … Lest we forget that this weekend is the 15th anniversary of 9/11. Entrepreneurs for North Texas are organizing its annual “Freedom Day” to honor veterans, lives lost and changed by 9/11 and those that serve the Dallas community.

More than 700 volunteers from 10 different nonprofit organizations will gather at 9 am. on Sunday, Sept. 11 at Communities Foundations of Texas, 5500 Caruth Haven Lane for the event … Revisited Cock and Bull last week after a long hiatus. Still has the feel of a neighborhood bar even if it is the middle (Gaston Avenue) of a busy street … This should come as no surprise, but it is a bit shocking nonetheless.

Car insurance rates have increased 40.3 percent in Dallas during the past five years, far higher than the national increase of 11 percent. Texas is the fifth most expensive state in the U.S. for car insurance, paying an average premium of $1,762. Dallas pays $1,791 on average, more than San Antonio and Austin but less than Houston. The zip codes that pay the most for auto insurance are areas below Interstate 30, between Interstate 35E and

U.S. Highway 45. Singles pay about $137 more per year than married people (that’s not fair!) and Texas men pay $12 more a year than women (Hey, that’s two strikes against me!) ... Part of those insurance woes may be linked to the condition of our streets. That said, the pothole of the week is on Peak Street where there is a stretch of holes that have reached an apex ... This has been bothering me for a long time now. Led by President Barack Obama, America has been trying to turn Cuba around economically by lifting sanctions and promoting tourism. While I am looking forward to visiting the island at some point, we have neglected Puerto Rico — our beautiful U.S. Territory — at the expense of propping up communist Cuba. Puerto Rico is in a financial crisis, and politicians seem to be sitting back sipping Havana Club and smoking a Montecristo No. 2. We must take care of our “51st state” … Back in the ’60s, everyone had a hi-fi in their living room and would often listen to records. Family entertainment was transitioning from radio to television, and gathering around the hi-fi was still popular. We would listen to my parent’s favorite singers like Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Andy Williams, Dinah Shore or Trini Lopez. While some adults would listen to “blue” comedy records from Redd Foxx or Lenny Bruce, we would also listen to clean comedy albums from the likes of Allan Sherman, Bill Cosby and, of course, Bob Newhart, who had the top selling comedy album of its day.

Newhart turned 87 on Monday.

HIP TO BE SQUARE

Deciding to have knee replacement surgery?

By Dr. Don Hohman dhohman@gdortho.com

This is the final installment of a series dealing with knee surgery and replacement.

Go to katytrailweekly.com and click on the Lifestyle tab and Dr. Hohman the Health & Fitness to find the other installments.

One of the most important discussion points prior to surgery is the understanding of what are the realistic expectations with surgery. An important factor in deciding whether to have total knee replacement surgery is understanding what the procedure can and cannot do.

More than 90 percent of people who have total knee replacement surgery experience a dramatic reduction of knee pain and a significant improvement in the ability to perform common activities of daily living. But total knee replacement will not allow you to do more than you could before you developed arthritis.

With normal use and activity, every knee replacement implant begins to wear in its plastic spacer. Excessive activity or weight may speed up this normal wear and may cause the knee replacement to loosen and become painful. Therefore, most surgeons advise against high-impact activities such as running, jogging, jumping or other high-impact sports for the rest of your life after surgery.

Realistic activities following total knee replacement include unlimited walking, swimming, golf, driving, light hiking, biking, ballroom dancing and other low-impact sports.

With appropriate activity modification, knee replacements can last for many years.

Donald Hohman, MD, is a fellowship-trained Orthopaedic Surgeon specializing in joint replacements of the hip and knee. He completed his specialty training at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital of the Harvard Medical School-Boston, Mass. If you have any further questions, please feel free to utilize the educational material provided on the website gdortho.com, or his office can be reached at 214-252-7039.

LIFE ON THE TRAIL

‘Ohm’ your way to happiness

By Dr. Beth Leermakers bethleermakersphd.com

When you hear “meditation,” do you think of Buddhist monks sitting in silence on a hillside? Meditation doesn’t have to be all woo-woo.

Dr. Leermakers Meditation is the practice of focusing your attention to help you feel calm.

Who doesn’t want that, at least once in a while? There are two types of meditation: In concentrative meditation (such as Transcendental Meditation), you focus on a single sound, word or mantra (words spoken or sung in a pattern) or on your breathing.

In mindful meditation (such as mindfulness-based stress reduction), you focus on what you’re experiencing in the present moment. You’re aware of the thoughts, feelings, sounds and images that enter your brain. Most of our stress comes from thinking about the past (“coulda, woulda, shoulda”) or worrying about the future. Assuming you’re safe right now, focusing on the present can help you feel calm and relaxed.

Meditation can be used to treat several physical and mental health conditions, including high blood pressure, pain, hot flashes, anxiety, stress, depression and addictive behaviors such as drug, alcohol and nicotine use. Studies of monks who spent years meditating found that their left prefrontal cortex — the part of the brain associated with happiness — grew larger. You don’t have to spend years meditating to reap the rewards. Spend 5-15 minutes per day meditating, and you too can feel happier and calmer. Studies show that people feel calm and contented and experience greater awareness and empathy right after meditating. Regular meditation can permanently rewire the brain to increase happiness, improve immune function and reduce stress.

If sitting still for five minutes is inconceivable, don’t fret. There are other forms of meditation that may appeal to you: Sitting meditation. You can practice this meditation while you’re waiting for an appointment or standing in line (just maintain good posture while standing).

Turn off your mobile devices so you won’t be interrupted.

• Sit in a straight-backed chair or on a cushion on the floor • Sit with your back, neck and head lined

up in a vertical position • Relax your shoulders • Put your hands on your knees or rest them in your lap • Focus on your breathing (try counting your breaths up to 10 and then start over) • W hen your mind wanders, gently bring your attention back to your breathing • Sit for at least 5-10 minutes, then gradually increase up to 30 minutes or longer

Regular meditation can permanently rewire the brain to increase happiness, improve immune function and reduce stress.

• T ry a meditation CD, mp3 or app to guide you Walking meditation. This exercise works better for people who have trouble sitting still. Yoga or tai chi (often called “meditation in motion”) may also appeal to people who like to keep moving while they relax.

• Walk slowly back and forth in a lane or circle (so you don’t have to worry about where you’re going) • Walk slower than your normal walking pace (this may feel awkward at first) • Focus on the sensations in your feet or legs, or feel your whole body moving • Pay attention to one aspect of your walking: your feet, your legs or your breathing (try counting your steps or your breaths) • W hen your mind wanders, gently bring your attention back to your body • Keep your gaze focused in front of you • Walk mindfully for 5-10 minutes Mindful eating. This is a great exercise to help you slow down and really enjoy your food. You may feel satisfied while eating less when you really pay attention to the food’s taste, smell and texture.

• Use your non-dominant hand • Look carefully at your food • Note the food’s texture, color and shape • Pay attention to any thoughts about this particular food or food in general • Smell the food • Put the food in your mouth and chew it slowly, experiencing the taste What meditation technique will you practice this week?

This AFC season is a toss-up

By David Mullen

david@katytrailweekly.com National Football League games begin with the toss of a coin. The same may be applied when trying to predict the results of the 2016 American Football Conference regular season which begins this weekend.

Since the NFL and AFL merger, commissioners Pete Rozelle, Paul Tagliabue and now the much maligned Roger Goodell have wanted league parity among teams. They have gotten league parity in both conferences. There tends to be a significant turnover of playoff teams every year, and the perennial favorites may have slid back to the pack a bit.

In the AFC, leader Payton Manning has retired from the World Champion Denver Broncos in order to watch games on DirecTv and eat Papa John’s Pizza, quarterback Tom Brady has been deflated for the first four New England Patriots games which

may give the lower AFC East teams a chance, there have been a number of coaching shake-ups, some key players like Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell are suspended and perennial losers like the Oakland Raiders, Tennessee Titans and the Jacksonville Jaguars appear to have ascended into playoff contention.

So the league will see some changes at the top. At least that's what the hopes are in the AFC West and in Oakland, which is a team suddenly being taken seriously. With linebacker/ lineman sensation Kahlil Mack joined by offseason acquisitions, the Raiders defense can compete with the best.

And they will have to because Kansas City can bring it on offense, especially running the ball. Quarterback Alex Smith is a quiet leader.

The loss of Manning signals the changing of the guard in Denver. Still with a top defense led by Dallas native Von Miller, the Broncos will have great difficulty scoring and do not make the

playoffs this year after winning Super Bowl 50. The San Diego Chargers are a mess with the distractions of offseason moves (or lack thereof) and a possible team move.

The AFC South appears to be as boring as reading an automobile owner’s manual. And it really is the team that gets jump-started the quickest that will make it to the finish line. For years, football fans have been waiting for the Houston Texans to fire on all cylinders. They have (a not 100 percent) J.J. Watt and have brought on Brock Osweiler in to steer an offense that has been looking for a driver for years. He may be just the guy.

Tennessee may be ready to step on the gas this year, with a more high-powered offense led by Marcus Mariota and running backs DeMarco (former Cowboy) Murray and Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry. If preseason is any indication AFC cont'd on page 9

Dallas Lighthouse for the Blind

Delivering technology, training, equipment and software that restores earning ability, confidence and independence for blind and vision impaired

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?

A T o create jobs and to promote the quali-

ty of life and independence for all blind and vision impaired people in the 11 North Texas counties we serve. In addition to hiring tens of thousands of blind workers throughout the years, we have educated and placed thousands of blind workers in factory and office functions at many companies.

Q H ow many clients are served each year?

A More than 1,500 new clients are served

each year. There is a total of 153,000 blind or vision impaired persons presently living in North Texas. Only 25 percent of those are able to find employment and live independent lives.

QW hat is your facility like?

e Dallas Lighthouse is the third oldest A Th

of its kind in the U.S. It is approximately 80,000-square-foot warehouse, and the offices are built of concrete and steel and require renovation to ensure its continued safety and function for blind workers.

QW hat do you think is the most import-

ant thing you do for the community?

We create manufacturing jobs, product distribution jobs, adaptive technology education, job placement and business services for the blind and vision impaired. However, on top of all that, I think the most important thing we do is just to help people become more independent, which is a huge factor when talking about quality of life. Our on-property retail store sells items that make life much easier.

dotty's True Texas Cuisine

Deep Ellum rich with food options

Photos courtesy of Salsera

Taco Platter (above) and Cuban Sandwich (below).

By Dotty Griffith

dotty.griffith@yahoo.com Been a while since you did Deep Ellum? That likely depends on your age, demo and your neighborhood. Here’s a tip in case you haven’t dared go to Deep Ellum recently: the historic blocks just east of downtown are good again.

There’s so much going on.

One of the spots is Salsera. Not nearly as wellknown as venues like Pecan Lodge, Filament and Cane Rosso, this Latin-inspired restaurant and club rocks with authentic cuisine and tango lessons from owner Wilson Chan.

Chef Federico Reyes took the kitchen reins last spring.

Before that, Reyes worked as lead cook at Napa Flats in San Antonio, also at Saint Ann Restaurant and Bar, as well as Grimaldi’s Pizzeria in Dallas.

“We are thrilled to have Federico Reyes join Salsera as executive chef,” said Chan.

“His creative cooking style is a perfect match for the concept, while his flair for mixing culture into his dishes will add an even more exciting Latin element to Salsera’s worldly influenced menu.”

Born in San Ciro de Acosta, Mexico, and raised in Irving, Texas, Reyes described his commitment to his culinary craft by saying, “My profession chose me. The culinary world saved my life and in return I gave my life to cooking.”

As executive chef of Salsera, Reyes will incorporate as many Latin influences as possible, although the menu leans heavily toward

Mexican. The restaurant’s Spanish-colonial décor and style matches the multi-purpose mission: Latin, especially Mexican, cuisine; live music; outdoor balcony dining and tango nights. Salsera’s full coffee bar is open all day.

The Latin café transforms into an entertainment lounge after dark, hosting tango lessons and Latin dancing, including salsa.

The drinks menu is as international as the dance card. Amazingly refreshing and hydrating, shaken tea with coconut water and pineapple juice will revive a tired hoofer after an exhilarating salsa dance or tango lesson.

The South American classic cocktail, Pisco Sour, gets you in the mood for more dancing. Wash down beef-spinach-avocado empanadas with a Mariachi Paloma, tequila mixed with grapefruit soda.

The empanadas are outstanding with a flaky crust and deep authentic flavor.

Seafood gets special attention here with dishes like Coctel de Camaron (shrimp cocktail), small crustaceans swimming in Clamato juice, pico de gallo and avocado.

The starter is served border style with saltine crackers.

Reyes’ crab cakes with seared lemon and aioli make a lovely entrée. So does the impressive whole fried red snapper, Pargo Frito, served with roasted cherry tomato salad, salsa, aioli and tostadas.

Moist inside with crispy skin on the outside, this fish and its accompaniments tasted like a Mexico beach vacation.

Other menu options include chips and salsa and/ or guacamole for those who think Tex-Mex. Enchiladas and fajitas also fit into that culinary space. So does the street taco platter. The Cuban sandwich and a burger reflect the range of offerings. Want to party at Salsera? Preorder a whole suckling pig a week ahead; serves 15 to 20.

On the dessert side, tres leches cake with cajeta (caramel) drizzle makes for a very happy ending to a fun, energetic evening.

Salsera makes your feet and palate do their happy dance.

economic incentive versus environmental concern. The pipeline will bring construction jobs to the area, and oil proponents hypothesize it will lessen our supply on foreign oil. But how long will those jobs last and when will we understand oil is not renewable — it won’t last forever. The oil reserves around the world are in limited supply. Once we are out, we are out.

How many of you in Dallas felt the 5.6 magnitude earthquake in Oklahoma this past weekend? Many social media accounts show people had damage miles from the epicenter. Scientists have been investigating the role fracking and injection wells have on the increase in earthquakes around oil sites. Oklahoma has had an estimated 5,000 percent increase in the number of earthquakes for their state.

Extracting oil from the ground is beginning to show environmental concerns. But should we wait until it’s too late to change?

Many have brought light to Native American populations in this recent controversy and reminded us that they are the “original environmentalists.” Understanding that we are part of the environment we live in, and in order to use resources, we must also take care of those same resources.

Your Stars this Week The coming week will open on a note of high expectancy for most individuals, as signs visible and invisible point to opportunity in all directions. There are many who will try to grasp the brass ring, and many of those will actually have it in their hands as the week comes to a close. While they will be the luckiest, there are many others who will enjoy tremendous progress in all areas.

While a sure victory may not be possible, there will be much for these individuals to enjoy and celebrate — though all must guard against being overly boastful or taking any premature actions that could threaten gains or undo hard work that has finally been completed.

All should try to see things as they really are — there is no reason for anyone to over- or understate the facts or skew perspectives by looking at the world through a tinted lens.

Those who remember that we're all in this together will have a real leg up.

candace@candysdirt.com As I write this, the police helicopters are circling the ‘hood. This, in Preston Hollow. A lady stole an Escalade and another has her pinned to the ground. See, you learn stuff like this if you read CandysDirt.com every day, sign up for our free and always scintillating newsletter and join the Candy Club. We might even have some specials come Halloween.

Like I said, we have a very interesting neighborhood.

Take Carlos Cardoza. He is a man who makes things his own. Take, for example, his 1960 pink Cadillac convertible. When he bought it 12 years ago, it was boring beige.

“I don’t do beige,” said the graphic designer, laughing. “I thought, ‘this is the perfect car that needs to be pink.’”

It’s parked in front of another much bigger project for Cardoza, his incredible 1954 midcentury modern house at 11016 Pinocchio Drive in North Dallas. This house is like no other, designed by architect Gordon Nichols and known as the Smith House. When Cardoza found it, the exterior trim was brick red and the inside was a mess.

This home is located at 11016 Pinocchio Drive in Dallas and for is listed for $665,000.

Candace Evans “When I bought it 22 years ago, I had a vision,” he said. “It was very dark inside and it was dumpy, but I saw this house as a canvas.”

Like an artist, Cardoza worked on that canvas, first filling it with reproductions and later original midcentury furniture (his favorite stores are Design District shops Sputnik Modern and Collage Classics). He has painted and arranged, created and perfected.

Now, it is a masterpiece of atomic era styling with four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, one half bath and 2,240 square feet.

Cardoza is moving to Palm Springs, where there are practically MCM houses on every corner, so this

gem went on the market Thursday — there’s an open house from 5-7 p.m., and you can be among the first to see this midcentury marvel.

In 1954, the Disney Streets were under construction and Pinocchio Drive was the place with the model homes, a showcase of architects and builders. Starting in September of that year, you could visit each one, decide on a style, and something similar would be built nearby on a new street.

Architect Nichols built several midcentury modern homes in the Disney

Streets, but none we’ve seen take it to this level: This is full-immersion, time warp real estate.

This is midcentury architecture at its finest: low-slung roof, expansive horizontal feel, great connection between the indoor and outdoor living spaces with lots of windows doors with large glass inserts. The brick fireplace creates what the builder described as a “visual center” in the front entry hall — love that pink Roman brick!

The home is roughly T-shaped with an open concept living area with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and authentic MCM features, like the Nelson Bubble Lamp in the dining

room. The kitchen is truly a jump back in time, with the cool original cabinetry, vintage pink appliances and Formica counters.

Almost every room opens to the covered lanai and terraced decks, with views of the swimming pool.

The north lawn features a private deck just off the dining area. Bring out the tray of martinis!

A large master bedroom suite at the rear of the house, overlooking the pool and featuring an unusual round window with starburst design.

Its bathroom is a turquoise dream, with tile accent walls, dual sinks and a memorable, retro look.

This marvelous midcentury modern will be listed by Ed Murchison with Virginia Cook Realtors for $665,000.

natural light. Make this room an oasis by adding electricity for a mini fridge, wine cooler and Netflix. For the colder months, add a space heater or furnace, and be sure to treat it like it’s part of the home by incorporating rugs, art and storage.

For the avid reader, make the space a library. Line the walls with bookshelves, even incorporating them overhead, while also installing a window seat into the shelves. Warm it up with a place to make coffee so she can snuggle into a quiet evening of reading. For the writer, keep it similar but add a desk and comfortable seating, along with an outlet for her laptop charger. Writers often find inspiration in the

outdoors, so consider making one wall made of large glass doors that can open to the backyard or garden. This way, she can be free from the world’s distractions and yet still connected to nature.

I don’t know any mother who wouldn’t want a spa (or need one). A spa would take some extra work, but it’s completely worth it. With a space fully dedicated to mom’s leisure, you’re sure to make her a happy and healthy woman.

Essentially, this space could be a large, luxurious bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub, shower, a lounge chair, a place for towels and other maintenance items convenient for mom to treat herself. And who’s to say this can’t be for mom AND dad? (Wink) Really though — dad might want to sneak out there for a break every now and then too. If the space is big enough, he could have a couple friends over to share a bottle of bourbon and some laughs.

Don’t forget our rules for small spaces: windows, reflection and light. No matter which design you choose, be sure to incorporate these elements to get the most out of your space, money and time.

For a mother who dances or exercises regularly, create a wall of windows for natural

light and a wall of mirrors for a proper and safe practice.

This way, the room appears bigger and she can observe herself as she tries new moves or routines. Allow room for a mini fridge to store her mineral water, a space for other workout equipment and materials like yoga mats, weights or towels. Don’t forget music; an active mom will need some tunes to pump her up for a good workout, so install a sound system to keep her moving along.

This could also be a chance to give mom her dream doll house. Maybe she loves the Victorian style or something colonial. Or she might prefer contemporary with cleaner lines and minimal detail. Because it’s such a small space, this won’t be too daunting and is a great opportunity to give mom the gift of getting away as needed without the stress and limitations of going on a trip once every six months.

In the end, you’re adding value to your home by adding another mini home. In turn, you’re adding more to mom’s quality of life.

UNCLE BARKY’S BITES

Fantasy Football has changed game day viewing

By Ed Bark

unclebarky@verizon.net It’s an addiction that millions of us just can’t seem to kick.

By the way, it helps to have a strong kicker. Their values can be underrated. You see how obsessive this can be.

Yes, there’s a good reason for the sign below our living room TV. The one that reads, “We Interrupt This Marriage to Bring You Football Season.”

Starting this week, the binge watching of NFL football and companion daily “cheat sheet” shows will reach epidemic proportions. Fantasy Football is underway, and only the strong will survive a full season of injuries, under-performances and online “waiver wire” hits and misses to crazy-quilt rosters of players who otherwise mostly compete against each other in the NFL’s alternate “real world” of weekly on-field games.

For the past four years, I’ve matched wits with my son and his other young punk, Austin-based pals. The 10-team No Friendly Losers

league had its draft early Oakland Raiders’ Amari Sunday afternoon. So Weasels Cooper, the Chicago Bears’ Ripped My Flesh (named Alshon Jeffery and the Green after the memoraBay Packers’ Randall ble 1970 Mothers of Cobb, who’s due for Invention album) a big bounce-back is ready for battle season. with a 15-man roster I also have that includes Dallas the stout Carolina Cowboys rookie Panthers defense and running back Ezekiel long-distance kicker Ed Bark Steven Hauschka of Elliott, New England Patriots tight end the Seattle Seahawks.

Rob Gronkowski and Patriots But yeah, the Weasels Ripped quarterback Tom Brady in My Flesh running backs are reserve to come off the bench a little weak downstairs after after his four-game suspenthe Cowboys’ potentially sion. Otherwise the Buffalo explosive Zeke. Can aging Bills’ very capable Tyrod one-time stud Arian Foster Taylor will take the snaps. somehow stay injury-free in The luck of the draft his new home with the Miami placement had Weasels Dolphins? Will T.J. Yeldon Ripped My Flesh picking improve on a decent rookie ninth and then 12th in the key season as the primary back for first two rounds. I’m pretty the Jacksonville Jaguars? And happy with what I’ve ended might James White (formerly up with, although the snide of my alma mater University Yahoo Fantasy computer of Wisconsin) pull off more dispensed a B-minus grade surprises as the Patriots’ “third under the headline, “Projected down back” after scoring six to Finish Seventh, Weasels touchdowns last season in his Ripped My Flesh Has Roster sophomore year?

Filled With Meh.” You can’t start all four I beg to differ. My startrunning backs, of course. And ing wide receivers are the there’s the weekly dilemma

amid the other bundles of angst. What does the matchup look like? What’s the weather outlook later in the season? Is there a nagging injury in play?

Yes, it’s a sickness. Many Fantasy League participants watch the ESPN Red Zone channel all day Sunday for whip-around action throughout the league. “Meaningless” games between two lousy teams are anything but ... if you or your opponent have players on the field. Especially if it’s the weekly climactic Monday night game and you’re sweating out a small Fantasy point lead or deficit.

But here’s the worst part.

As a Wisconsin native, I remain a Green Bay Packers fan, with the Cowboys my adoptive second team. In the second week of Fantasy play, I’ll

take on my son’s McFly team.

He has quarterback Aaron Rodgers. And while I want the Pack to win their actual game against the Minnesota Vikings, I don’t want Rodgers to have a particularly great game ­— with one exception.

He can throw all the TD passes he wants to my Packers player, the aforementioned Randall Cobb.

Let the sickness begin.

RANDOM NIBBLE: ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars” returns for its 23rd edition on Monday, Sept. 12. The 13-member field includes former Texas governor and twotime failed Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry, who’s grown accustomed to being voted off big stages.

Perry joins Tom DeLay as the second prominent Texas

politician to give “DWTS” a shot. DeLay, the former House Majority Leader until alleged ethics violations took him down, competed in the show’s ninth edition before withdrawing in Week 3 with an injury.

Perry, who will be paired with pro dancer Emma Slater, says in a video clip on ABC’s media site that his appearances in live candidate debates have prepared him for the perils of “DWTS.” “It’s just in a little different silo,” he reasoned. “You’re out there without a wire every week.”

This time he hopes to avoid another infamous “oops” moment.

Ed Bark, who runs the TV website unclebarky.com, is a current board member of the Press Club of Dallas.

AFC cont'd from page 3 — and it usually is not — the revamped Titans will be much improved.

The Indianapolis Colts hope that the return from injury by quarterback Andrew Luck will bring back the luster the offense once had, before being completely tarnished last season because of some bad luck. The sexy new model in the division this year is Jacksonville, looking to take advantage of years of good draft picks because they have suffered through many tough roads. Still, the division figures to produce only one playoff team while the others stall out.

Quarterback “Big” Ben Roethlisberger and wide receiver Antonio Brown give the Pittsburgh Steelers the best passing tandem in the conference. Coach Mike Tomlin knows how to win and barring major injuries, the Steelers will be one of the teams to beat this year.

The same can always be said about the Cincinnati Bengals, but what happens to them come playoff time? Why do they look so good in the regular season and fall apart in the postseason? This year, Hue Jackson has moved on to become head coach of the Cleveland Browns and given the offensive coordinating responsibilities to newcomer Ken Zampese, who will try to get inside the head of QB Andy Dalton and produce a playoff win.

The Baltimore Ravens always compete with little fanfare, but are overcoming

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown. a series of major injuries last year. And the woeful Cleveland Browns will at least have the energy of Jackson — trying to resurrect the career of Robert Griffin III — on the sideline.

Never bet against Bill Belichick, Tom Brady and the Patriots, especially when the Buffalo Bills, New York Jets and Miami Dolphins are always tripping over each other on the way to a .500 or below season. But because of “Deflategate,” the Pats are spotting the division four games while Brady sits and the offense grapples with stand-in QB Jimmy Garoppolo. But games two, three and four are at home including tilts with Buffalo and Miami.

The Jets play five playoff teams in the first six weeks. Buffalo has a brutal

mid-season stretch. Miami has three roads games against playoff teams in September.

For being penalized by the league with the Brady suspension, New England seems to have come out ahead.

So come playoff time, look for Kansas City and Pittsburgh to secure the top spots along with division winners Houston and New England. Oakland and Cincinnati will be the wild cards and will both advance to the second round in road upsets. The Chiefs and the Steelers will play in the AFC championship game with a big powwow in Kansas City in late January. The Chiefs will return to the Super Bowl for the first time since 1970.

Next week, we look at the National Football Conference and the Dallas Cowboy’s modest chances.

MOVIE TRAILER

Chip off the old Scott evident in otherwise disappointing ‘Morgan’

By Chic DiCiccio @chiccywood

If you didn’t know it from the beginning of “Morgan” and someone said to you during the closing credits, “Did you know that Ridley Scott’s son directed that?,” the correct reply is “Oh, that makes sense.”

Ridley’s influence is all over his son Luke Scott’s directorial debut and, for the most part, it’s everything good about philosophical, creepy science fiction. After about an hour of tension and anxiety, “Morgan” sadly devolves into a bloody action flick that then tries to recoup all the goodwill that it built up with a fairly cool twist-like ending.

“Morgan” smartly drops us into the plot without explaining exactly what is happening. There is clearly an issue with Morgan (Anya

Taylor-Joy) as she is not only kept in what amounts to an underground cage, she attacks Dr. Kathy Greiff (Jennifer Jason Leigh) with a utensil over dinner.

A shadow-like company sends a “risk management” manager, Lee Weathers (Kate Mara), to visit Morgan and the team of doctors that take care of her at a remote mansion deep in a Pennsylvania forest. Based on her icy, businesslike demeanor, there’s little doubt that Lee isn’t typically pushing papers and dealing with HR issues.

The other people watching Morgan are a mix of thriller tropes that screenwriter Seth Owen pencils in to provide background and all the ways he wants you to feel about Morgan. Dr. Amy Menser (Rose Leslie) is clearly too attached to Morgan, Dr. Simon Ziegler (Toby Jones) can’t bear with flushing away

Kate Mara plays Lee Weathers in the sci-fi film "Morgan." his life’s work, and Dr. Lui Cheng (Michelle Yeoh) gives off a “been there, done that” vibe to all the proceedings.

There’s even a redneck cook, Skip (Boyd Holbrook), whose down-home country insight allows him to see that something just ain’t right with Morgan.

The creep factor is ratcheted up for most of “Morgan,” with Taylor-Joy doing a fantastic coiled snake routine.

Scott and cinematographer Mark Patten shoot every encounter with TaylorJoy’s Morgan as if she could pounce and snap necks at any moment while correctly showing how weary other characters are of her.

But such as is the downfall with some of his old man’s flicks, Luke Scott lets his editor, Laura Jennings, run roughshod over the final thirty minutes. A few fight

scenes are so choppy that they are borderline unwatchable.

The actors seem to be giving the action all they have and surely the choreography is top notch so it’s a shame that nobody is every going to really see it.

The actors do a very solid job for the most part, even if Jennifer Jason Leigh’s presence in such a silly, tiny role makes little sense. Kate Mara has never been the most expressive actress, but her tendencies that are normally shortcomings suit her quite well as Lee. She’s believable as a calculating, emotionless “suit” and she sells the physical parts of the role so well that there’s no way anyone would want her to punch them.

The entirety of “Morgan” does depend on Anya TaylorJoy’s performance and she manages to be a tragic and sympathetic character. Even

when doing some fairly horrific things, Taylor-Joy keeps a childlike demeanor and makes Morgan that much more creepy and odd.

The finest scene in “Morgan” involves a surprise cameo and it provides the turning point from when the movie switches gears, loses all intelligence and becomes an overly violent chase flick.

It’s as if Scott and Owen had a horror movie cliche checklist to complete, thus forcing their characters to suddenly abandon all common sense.

It would be wrong to call “Morgan” a bad movie, but it is definitely a small disappointment. The ending is perfectly dark and fairly deranged, which only makes the previous thirty minutes that much more of a bummer.

Somewhere in there, the creative team couldn’t resist the urge to dumb down a perfectly good thriller.

CLASSIC CINEMA

Rah, Rah, Sis Boom Bah! Time to watch football movies!

Clockwise from top: Warren Beatty in “Heaven Can Wait;” Denzel Washington in “Remember the Titans;” Burt Reynolds in “The Longest Yard;” Billy Dee Williams and James Caan in “Brian’s Song;” Sandra Bullock in “The Blind Side;” Moe, Curly and Larry in “Three Little Pigskins.”

By David Mullen

david@katytrailweekly.com Football season is finally here (unless you have been watching the Canadian Football League), so time to get prepped for the long college and professional schedule ahead by renting, downloading or streaming some of Hollywood’s football films. A lot of these movies, listed in chronological order, are just OK — football action is difficult to replicate on film — but many score big on star power.

And sorry, there is no Goldie Hawn coaching a football team (“Wildcats”), no hot model field goal kicker movie (Kathy Ireland in “Unnecessary Roughness”) and as few Adam Sandler movies as possible. So, to paraphrase Rod Tidwell in “Jerry Maguire,” “Show me the movie!”

“The Freshman” (1925), “Horse Feathers” (1932), “Three Little Pigskins” (1934) I lumped together these black and white classics; Harold Lloyd is freshman Harold Lamb in this widely acclaimed silent movie that may be the first film to feature football; The Marx Brothers put their remarkably poignant spin on college athletics in “Horse Feathers;” and although it is a two-reel short, the Three Stooges are hilarious as the “Three Horseman” in “Three Little Pigskins.” Even their uniforms are funny. Moe is H₂O₂, Larry is 1/8 and Curly is “?” The short is one of (then blond) Lucille Ball’s first onscreen appearances.

“Knute Rockne, All American” (1940) The most noted football film

ever. Staring Pat O’Brien as Rockne and Ronald Reagan as George Gipp in a story of the Notre Dame football team, brought us the famous line “The last thing George said to me, ‘Rock,’ he said, ‘sometime when the team is up against it and the breaks are beating the boys, tell them to go out there with all they've got and win just one for the ‘Gipper.’”

“Paper Lion” (1968) Alan Alda is brilliant as Sports Illustrated writer George Plimpton who goes to Detroit Lions training camp for a tryout and actually does get into a preseason game.

Today, that might be one preseason game worth paying to see.

“Brian's Song” (1971) An “ABC Movie of the Week,” this story of Brian Piccolo’s (James Caan) battle with cancer and his relationship with Gale Sayers (Billy Dee Williams) made millions of grown men cry. Even though it was not a theatrical release, this is still one of the top five all-time football movies.

“The Longest Yard” (1974) The story of a prison football team that showed real collegiate (Florida State) football player and actor Burt Reynolds in his glory. Many football players like Ray Nitschke had cameo roles.

Made you want to root for the Mean Machine. Not to be confused with the 2005 remake with Sandler.

“Semi-Tough” (1977) Based on the Dan Jenkins novel, “Semi-Tough” is another football movie that starred Reynolds. Teammates Reynolds and Kris Kristofferson get involved in a very ’70s relationship with the late Jill Clayburgh.

“Heaven Can Wait” (1978) Co-written with Buck Henry, Warren Beatty stars as Los Angeles Rams quarterback Joe Pendleton who is brought up to heaven a bit prematurely. Great cast featuring Henry, Julie Christie, James Mason, Jack Warden, Charles Grodin and Dyan Cannon. It is fun to see the Rams back in Los Angeles again.

“North Dallas Forty” (1979) Loosely based on the Dallas Cowboys of the 1970s, a true period piece staring Mac Davis as cocky quarterback Seth Maxwell and Nick Nolte as wide receiver Phil Elliott, who gave America a behind-the-scenes look at an aging pro football star.

Despite the bell bottoms and mullets, this movie still holds up today.

“All the Right Moves” (1983) Tom Cruise was just getting discovered in this movie about a rural Pennsylvania high school football team coached

by Craig T. Nelson. The movie first introduced us to a young ballerina from Minnesota who wanted to become an actress. Her name was Lea Thompson.

“Everybody’s AllAmerican” (1988) Based on the novel by longtime Sports Illustrated writer Frank Deford and directed by Taylor Hackford, the film looks back at the life of a Louisiana college football star named Gavin Grey (Dennis Quaid). Also stars Jessica Lange, Timothy Hutton and John Goodman.

“The Program” (1993) Caan returns as a football coach for a fictional college team that has various offfield issues. Stars a young Halle Berry and Omar Epps.

“Rudy” (1993) Seemingly everyone’s favorite underdog (and football) movie, Rudy is the story of a boy with aspirations to play football at Notre Dame.

“Little Giants” (1994) Based on the McDonalds Pee-Wee League football commercial written by former Dallas ad man Jim Ferguson (who also co-wrote the movie), the film stars Rick Moranis and Ed O’Neill.

“Jerry Maguire” (1996) The perfect football movie for the times as owner wealth and agent and player greed become a major factor in the NFL. Cruise returns to football, not as a high school defensive back, but as agent Maguire. Cuba Gooding, Jr. won the Academy Award for his performance as Tidwell.

Two famous lines are “Show me the money” and “You had me at ‘hello.’” One of the top grossing sports movies ever.

“The Waterboy” (1998) I am forced to put this movie on the list for fear I will be tackled outside of my office by rabid Sandler fans. The film also made the studio more than $160 million in profit.

“Varsity Blues” (1999) Jon Voight stars as an overbearing coach at a small town high school. It is the same plot in most high school football movies.

“Any Given Sunday” (1999) Filmed half in Miami and half in Dallas, this is another football role for Quaid as he is coached by Al Pacino and paid by Cameron Diaz.

A very uneven movie that borders on the unbelievable, with Pacino and Diaz clearly miscast. Tons of stars including Jamie Foxx, James Woods, LL Cool J, Charlton

Heston, Ann-Margret, Lauren Holly and Aaron Eckhart and former NFL players Jim Brown and Lawrence Taylor.

“The Replacements” (2000) Keanu Reeves is a strike breaker quarterback coached by Gene Hackman.

Star of the entire movie might be Hurst’s own Brooke Langton as cheerleader and Reeves’ love interest.

“Remember the Titans” (2000) Hard to believe that it has been 16 years since Denzel Washington gave that riveting performance as Coach Herman Boone dealing with racial issues on and off the field.

“Radio” (2003) A huge departure from Gooding, Jr.’s Tidwell, he plays a mentally challenged youngster that is taken under the wing of head football coach Harold Jones (Ed Harris).

“Friday Night Lights” (2004) A film that inspired the TV show of the same name and is based on the book by H.G. Bissinger, Billy Bob Thornton is at his best as coach Gary Gains of the Permian Panthers. The film dealt with the many social issues in Odessa — which could be found in many rural small towns — at the time.

“The Express” (2008) An often overlooked story of Ernie Davis, the first African American Heisman Trophy winner.

“Leatherheads” (2008) A rare George Clooney clunker, at least he can say he has a football movie. He can put it on the video shelf next to “The Men That Stare at Goats.”

“The Blind Side” (2009) Sandra Bullock won the Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role for her portrayal of Leigh Ann

Tuohy, who took in future NFL player Michael Oher and made him part of her family. Still great to see cameo appearances by real life or former coaches Tommy Tuberville, Nick Saban, Lou Holtz, Phillip Fulmer and Houston Nutt.

“We Are Marshall” (2006) The tragic story of the Marshall football team plane crash, the rebuilding of the football program and the community that took place after. Starring Matthew McConaughey as Coach Jack Lengyel.

“Invincible” (2006) Mark Wahlberg plays a bartender named Vince Papale who becomes a Philadelphia Eagle in his 30s in the unlikely, but true, story.

“Big Fan” (2009) The best football movie you have never seen, Patton Oswalt plays a parking garage attendant and New York Giants fanatic who lives with his mother on Staten Island. He is obsessed with sports talk, in particular the Sports Dogg (Scott Ferrall) radio show.

He becomes enemies with a caller “Philadelphia Phil" (Michael Rapaport). With great twists and turns, this little gem made less than $233,000 at the box office or about half of the rookie minimum salary this year.

“Draft Day” (2014) Too much of a love story and not enough of a football story tainted this otherwise interesting film with a look into the draft room of the Cleveland Browns. Kevin Costner shows that he can act in sports movies that don’t just feature baseball.

“Concussion” (2015) Will Smith stars in this film that tackles the NFL concussion issues, well, head-on.

MENTAL HEALTH

Play therapy powerful in emotional and physical development of a child

By Lynette Payne At Galaxy Counseling Center we specialize in play therapy, because we know from experience how powerful it can be in the emotional, social and physical development of a child. Many of the children we treat here deal with issues such as the threat of physical harm, sexual abuse, lack of financial, emotional or physical care.

Play therapy has considerable research and practice supporting it. It is a structured, theoretically based approach that builds on a child’s common Lynette Payne communication and learning processes (Carmicheal, 2006). As the symbolic expression of the world for children, they are able to learn about themselves, others and their world using both verbal and nonverbal communications. Play stimulates neural structures in the brain and is critical for normal development. By negotiating roles and situations, play can facilitate a child’s ability to develop a sense of competence, master and sense of self.

Constellations cont'd from page 1 is entirely about two people who explore the concept that there are infinite versions of each of us in parallel universes. Together, they explore the possibilities of choice versus destiny.

Each actor depicts several different times and places, and how their life choices can have diversely opposite outcomes. According to Allison Pistorius following the show, the pair enacts more than 50 sequences, making it challenging to switch from one reality to another.

Writer Nick Payne was recognized for creating one of the 10 top plays of 2015.

“Constellations” demands that the audience grasp the concept that we all are a result of our choices and our destiny. Sunday night’s audience sat riveted to see

imaginary characters and more.

In addition to helping children express their feelings, therapy helps them to learn how to cope with their feelings within an environment that they can control. Ultimately, this facilitates the development of healthier relationships, coping skills and positive educational and social experiences needed to succeed in life.

For the past 40 years, Galaxy has provided counseling services for 60,000 families, couples, groups, individuals and children, ages three and up in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.

SOLUTION TO THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE

in what parallel universe they will find themselves when the lights brighten for one of those 50+ vignettes.

According to Director Wendy Dann, the play has two perspectives on time — the vast and the intimate, the universe and the hive, the cosmos and the bee.

“I hope [the play] encourages people to reach for that tangible human experience and want to experience conversation rather than reach for gadgets,” Organ said.

Pistorius views it as the kind of story that reminds her that the choices we make even on the seemingly small scale of two people in a relationship matter.

“Constellations” will run through Oct. 9 at the 6th floor Studio Theatre of the Wyly Theatre, 2400 Flora St. in the AT&T Performing Arts Center. For information and to purchase tickets, visit dallastheatercenter.org.

When “Julie” came to Galaxy, she suffered from fetal alcohol syndrome and had been abused and neglected by her parents. She had been “acting out” in school in anger and oppositional defiant behavior, was diagnosed with ADD and depression. The back of “John’s” head was flat because his mom left him in a car seat for the first seven months of his life; and at 10 years of age, he was acting out sexually.

Play helps children like this overcome resistance to therapy. It allows children to test limits and practice skills and roles in a non-threatening environment. By allowing them to try alternate behaviors and develop more functional and adaptive responses to what is troubling them, children are able to increase their social competence and emotional maturity. This is important because a child’s ability to interact in a constructive way with peers and adults is a critical factor for success in school, and later in life. During play a child is able to gain understanding of the feelings of others and respond appropriately. In addition, they are able to work through conflicts and issues through use of the various materials available such as sand, art, puppets, action figures, costumes, acting out
