A healthy, fit Food & Drink focus issue
Behind the whole grain movement
Walk into your local grocer, and it seems as of late we’re being pitched on the health aspects of Whole Grain down every aisle. The smiling yellow bee made the whole grain switch on the cereal aisle. The pasta and chip aisle are re-branded and, of course, there’s the bread aisle with so many options it’ll make your head spin. The reoccurring health pitch had me questioning a couple of things: what exactly does whole grain mean and how does it play into a health conscious pitch? I chatted with a local expert on the topic for his two cents, owner of Kraftsmen Bakery in

the Heights, Scott Tycer. Turns out, the whole grain pitch is much more than just the grain. Tycer said it’s about the production and what goes into the bread or product. “Bread in itself is a very inexpensive thing,” Tycer said. “Flour doesn’t cost that much, some do, but regular bread flour doesn’t. It’s what is put in that defines what it is. The component that people like from whole grain is the protein content. Whole grain has great protein and nice, naturally produced sugars.” When making bread, there are a few components that go into the process, but two that have a key role in production and what give the bread healthful components: flour and yeast. “In almost any kind of whole wheat bread you see out there, there will also be processed, or highly milled flour in it,” Tycer said. “A completely

whole wheat bread doesn’t tend to rise. You wouldn’t get a light, fluffy bread. You would get a dense, solid item that doesn’t have holes or a cell structure.” That is where the flour comes in. After wheat is ground down into flour, next is the aging step and where Tycer said health aspects come in to play. The oldest way is letting the flour age naturally, over time by exposing it to air. Other ways can be by treating the flour with bleaching agents or adding in potassium bromate. While the process does quicken, Tycer said additives strip the flour of good, naturally occurring proteins and sugars. On staff at Kraftsmen bakery, I met an assistant head baker that has been with the company for 15 years perfecting his craft, eventually bringing over his brother as head baker to turn their craftsmanship into a family affair. On a big day, the two and bakery staff produce roughly 19,000 slices of bread, and every slice is touched by a set of hands to make sure it is accounted for. That’s where artisan bread and products differentiate themselves from what’s at the grocery store - knowing exactly what goes in the product. In a world of sales, don’t buy into every health pitch at the grocery store. While whole grain is a good option, there’s more to the story when it comes to what’s good for you and what you should put in your body – don’t let the bee fool you. Email christina@theleadernews.com

Seasonal or superfood - watching what you eat Betsy Denson betsy@theleadernews.com
Shana Tatum started out as a visitor to the farmers market that Mickey Morales started in Garden Oaks - only recently has she come to share healthy habits and nutrition tips with neighbors. “I love sharing and learning too about people’s obstacles to eating better,” said Tatum. “Although people who come to the market are generally on a path to better eating.” Tatum said that an interest in healthy living has always been a theme throughout her life, but came into sharper focus five years ago after the diagnosis of an autoimmune disease grabbed her attention. “I had psoriasis and suspected psoriatic arthritis, too, because joint pain was recurrent when I added foods that were not good for me,” she said. “Changes to my diet and lifestyle caused a remission and from that point on I wanted to learn more. I have been so curious and hopeful about this field watching new science emerge all the time.” Tatum is a current student at the University of Houston, completing her study of Human Nutrition and Food. She plans to finish her coursework in December and begin a Dietetic internship in the spring of 2018 with the goal of becoming a registered dietitian. “This is a second career for me in mid-life,” she said. “I enjoyed a satisfying career in design before I decided to be

a stay at home mom and raise our three wonderful boys.” Tatum wants to keep coming to the Farmers Market once a month to feature more recipes and ways to bring good food into home kitchens. “I recently heard someone comment that we spend more time watching cooking television shows than we actually spend cooking,” she said. “I think when you understand the way foods support us and provide benefit to our cells it makes eating in a more balanced way easier.” Tatum acknowledges that eating this way takes planning but says the payoff is immense. The idea of ‘Superfoods’ is one that has been much in the news lately. Tatum cites a list of 13 foods from noted researcher Chris Kresser that includes butter from grassfed cows, eggs from grass-fed
hens, oysters, wild salmon, bone broth, sauerkraut and organic beets. “Lists we see often in the news feature Acai, goji and lingonberries; Cocoa and red wine; Chia and hemp seeds; and Turmeric and kale,” Tatum said. “Certainly, these all have great properties and benefits for our health. I know many people adding chia and hemp seeds to smoothies daily as a way to increase Omega 3 fatty acids. I am a big fan of oven baked kale chips supplying more of my fiber and flavonoids. I have also been known to enjoy a turmeric coconut milk latte for breakfast getting my supply of curcumin full of anti-inflammatory compounds.” Although Tatum sees the benefit of many of these foods, she says she’s somewhat traditional when it comes to the benefits of food.
“I think eating whole foods and a less processed diet is a better way to health,” she said. “If we keep it basic and include the simple things, then we are likely to be getting the nutrients we need from whole and seasonal foods. Most people need something quick and easy. We are much more likely to spend time preparing if ingredients are readily available.” There are several foods she has in rotation right now - winter seasonal foods like citrus, collard greens, turnips and sweet potatoes. “Our bodies benefit from the vitamin and mineral richness of seasonal foods,” she said. “For example, collard greens provide large amounts of calcium per serving and is a warming green. Citrus gives us the boost of Vitamin C and reportedly can provide up to three times more vitamin content if picked in season rather than harvesting too soon and preventing full maturity. Sweet potatoes, a carbohydrate rich vegetable may help with mood by triggering serotonin production. Lastly, turnips are a good seasonal root vegetable high in fiber and can give the potato a nice replacement from your menus.”

Art Valet: Don’t miss being In a Good Place
This past Saturday was the first show of the year for The Market at Sawyer Yards, the folk art themed show that I got off the ground last May. It was, without a doubt, the best show we’ve had. We had cool weather, a nice breeze and families were obviously ready to take advantage of Houston’s faux spring. Oh, did I mention we’re neighbors to Holler Brewing Co.? The Craft Chronicles have more on that. Since starting this market, we’ve experienced high heat, flooding, rain, cold and trains. Some humor - there are two train tracks, one on each side of us and on Saturday mornings they’re both very busy. It’s frustrating when you’re in a hurry! Put us on your calendar for Feb. 11. While there, be sure to visit the art studios, always open on 2nd Saturdays. One of the highest numbers of professional artists in the nation create and display their masterpieces at Sawyer Yards. Meanwhile, we’ll probably see the Sawyer Yards Creative Campus on the news in the

By Landan Kuhlmann landan@theleadernews.com As the new year revs up, so too are Houston-area car enthusiasts for the 7th Annual Adolf Hoepfl Garage Oldie and Goodie Car Show Jan. 28, which has grown from 15 participants in the inaugural 2010 show to last year’s edition, which featured 27 enthusiasts from around the greater Houston area. The show will once again showcase classic and custom cars from near and far. In past years, the Oldie & Goodie show has attracted vehicles like Bricklins, Metropolitans, Studebakers as well as classic Chevys, VWs, Mustangs, a ‘55 Crown Victoria, Christine (from the movie Chistine) and a 1930 Model A Ford, which are paraded up and down Heights Boulevard and through the community during an annual parade. “Our attendance has grown too, because I think it’s something that people look forward to now,” Adolf Hoepfl Garage owner Kathryn van der Pol said. “It’s just fun to see all these cars from the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s around here, to see all these wonderful pieces of American ingenuity.” Adding to the fun is that van der Pol says each year brings a new experience, keeping her and her staff on their toes. “Some of it is weather dependent, and car enthusiasts sometimes tend to wait until the last minute on the off chance the weather might be bad,” she said. “So they don’t even tell us they’re coming and then they just drive in and show up in this fabulous automobile.” Common sense might dictate that such an occurrence

might cause a last-minute scramble or confusion; but that is not the case for van der Pol and her staff. “We’re used to that, because that’s just how car enthusiasts are. Half of them will sign up in advance and half of them will just show up,” van der Pol said. “We know that, and it’s something we can plan and account for. Some of it is kind of spontaneous, and that’s also part of the fun, just to see what’s going to happen.” Proceeds from the 2017 edition will benefit the Oxford House, an association that provides safe housing for those in recovery. “It’s a community event, so we try getting all of our customers to know about it as well as people in the neigh-
borhood,” she said. “It’s just become a fun way for us to showcase our shop and our staff doing this service event for the community.” Early registration is $20 and includes an event T-shirt and a goody bag. Interested individuals may also register on event day for $25. Participation is limited to the first 30 cars that register. Participants should arrive by 9 a.m. The cruise will begin at 9:30 and the show will open to the public at 10:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. A trophy will be awarded to one car owner in each of the five categories: Grand Prize-People’s Choice Award, Top Custom, Top Classic, Honorable Mention- Classic and Honorable Mention - Custom.

Craft Chronicles
What’s all the ruckus at Holler Brewing Co. Welcome to the new series, Craft Chronicles! Monthly, we’ll be showcasing a Leader local brewery and their beer, so stay tuned for all the juicy details about my latest beer adventure. This month, we were thrilled to check out the brand new Holler Brewing Co. Before we dive in, let me introduce myself. My name is Landon Weiershausen and I am the owner of Farmboy Brew Shop. We sell everything you need to brew beer and make wine at home, as well as other fermentables like kombucha, kefir, and cheesemaking supplies. I have been a homebrewer for over eight years and our shop just celebrated its two year anniversary in October. So, yeah, I literally live and breathe beer, both making and tasting the good, the bad, and the ugly. Speaking of good beer, if you haven’t gone to check out Holler Brewing Co. then shame on you! Across from
Landon Weiershausen Columnist
Sawyer Yards they have created an awesome venue to hang out and enjoy some amazing locally crafted beers. With massive windows to view the brewing operations and hop shaped light fixtures pulling me in, I quickly grabbed a bar stool and selected six different beers - well five beers and some kombucha because I just couldn’t say no. While all the beers were well made, the Barleywine was the standout for me. Rolling in at 8.3% alcohol, it had a fresh hop aroma which screamed American Barleywine, with a pleasing nuance of dried fruit. The color is a beautiful sunset, reddish-orange transitioning to a lighter, golden hue at the
edge. Taking a quick swig, a rush of citrus and grapefruit hop notes, with a backend of maltiness and raisins hit the pallet. The finish is long, with swirling malt notes and an expertly balanced bitterness. John Holler, the Head Brewer,
let slip that he used an English yeast for fermentation and lagered the finished product for a month before releasing it to the public. Get it while it lasts. Holler at Landon at landon@ farmboybrewshop.com

Recipe from P. 1B Here’s a turnip recipe for you to try. Tatum says “they are not your grandmother’s root vegetable!” Roasted Turnips with Kale and Pancetta from EcoCentric at Grace.org Serves 4 Ingredients: 2 medium turnips, peeled and chopped into 1 in. long chunks (about 2 cups) 1 cup kale chopped into thumb sized ribbons (Tuscan kale is best) 2 slices bacon 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar 1 tablespoon butter + 1/2 tablespoon for balsamic reduction Coconut oil (or lard from cooking bacon!) Sea salt
Instructions: 1. Preheat oven to 425 F. 2. In a mixing bowl, toss chopped turnips and kale rib-

aside. 4. Place turnip and kale mixture into an oven safe roasting dish or a cast iron skillet. Roast until turnips are tender about 20 minutes. Halfway through roasting, stir. The kale bits will get nice and crispy, adding an interesting texture. 5. To make a quick balsamic reduction, bring 1/3 cup to a low boil in a small, non-reactive saucepan. It doesn’t take long for the balsamic vinegar to reduce to a syrup-like consistency that coats the back of a spoon. When the vinegar has reduced, stir in a half Tbsp. of butter. Worth the effort as the end result adds a complex level of flavor to a hearty yet basic dish. 6. When the vegetables are removed from the oven and still hot, toss in a tablespoon of butter. Sprinkle the top with bacon pieces and drizzle with balsamic reduction if desired.

Reader’s love of animals leads to interest in Vet Tech school
Dear Tabby, I’m a high school senior and I’m considering going to school to become a Veterinary Technician because I love animals more than anything. Is this a good career choice and what do Vet Techs actually do? Go Waltrip Rams! Dear Go Waltrip Rams, What an interesting question and bravo to you for finding ways to use your love of animals to serve others. I loved your question so much that I went to the good folks at Texas A&M University’s School of Veterinary Medicine to get some answers for you. “Veterinary technicians are the people who provide the technical support for patient care and assist veterinarians with many responsibilities,� says D’Lisa Whaley, veterinary technician at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences. “Veterinary technicians have such a wide range of responsibilities such as restraining a patient for a physical exam, checking vital signs, administering medications, obtaining diagnostic samples, monitoring a patient under anesthesia, or assisting a veterinarian during a surgical procedure,� Whaley said. “Technicians are also trained to operate and troubleshoot all of the equipment in a veterinary hospital or clinic, including monitoring equip-
ment, anesthesia machines, and radiology equipment,� Whaley said. “In order to receive a degree in veterinary technology, one must attend and complete an American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) accredited technician program,� Whaley explained. “Many of these programs are offered at junior or community colleges. Some programs even offer a ‘2+2’ program in partnership with a four year college so that the student is able to earn a bachelor’s degree in animal science. After completing the veterinary technology program, the student can take a national exam and a state exam to earn the title of licensed or registered veterinary technician.� Though Whaley said there are many things she loves about being a veterinary technician, her favorite aspects of
her job include a challenging and fast-paced work environment, interacting with patients and finding the best treatment options, and obtaining diagnostic samples. Although veterinary technicians help provide care for furry patients and save animal lives, there are challenges veterinary technicians may face, such as comforting an owner over their sick pet. “One of the most challenging aspects of being a veterinary technician is compassion fatigue,� Whaley said. “Whenever our patients are in pain, we do everything we can to help make them more comfortable. When we lose a patient or comfort an owner as they make the difficult decision to euthanize their beloved pet, we grieve along with the family.� Despite this challenge, Whaley said, “The great things
Pet of the Week Meet Petey. Petey is a 6 month old Rat Terrier mix who was rescued from La Porte Animal Control. Petey has lots of fun energy and is smart as a whip-he might even make for a great agility dog! Petey also knows when to simmer down and cuddle and is eager to please, making him an ideal candidate for most any adoptive home. Could he be the right fit for yours? If so, go to www.cap4pets. org for more info.
about this job far outweigh the bad, and I wouldn’t trade it for the world.� Shadowing a Vet Tech at a vet’s office--to make sure that this is the career path for you-might should be your first step in exploring this as a career path. If you’re still interested after that, there are several schools that offer Veterinary Technician classes that are close to home. Talk with your school counselor about ways that you can apply and find out more about this exciting career. Do you have a question for Tabby? If so, email her at: deartabbyquestions@gmail.com

Healthy Pets Visit Vets
I
n recent years there has been a significant reduction in pet visits to veterinarians despite an increase in pet populations. Data shows common and preventable diseases in pets have been increasing. This shift from preventative care to reactive care typically costs more if pets are to stay healthy or alive. One driving force behind this trend, besides the recession, is dependence on the Internet. Pet owners often look online first if their pet is ill. This delay means pets are far worse off when they finally get to the vet, therefore costs are much greater, some cannot be saved and euthanasia rates are up significantly. Although reliable Internet sites can provide knowledge they can not deliver know-how, experience or action for quick and proper treatment. Soon, it will be puppy parvovirus season again. Thousands of the cutest puppies will die needlessly as they do every spring. This killer disease is easily prevented with basic vaccines. With increasing mosquitoes, thousands of cats and dogs will acquire heartworms despite available prescription preventatives. All pets deserve at least an annual veterinary exam and consultation on their individual basic health care needs. To understand optimal preventative healthcare for your pet visit: www.pethealthpartnership.org. If your pet is ill, do not delay. Make an appointment and then research online.
Always call your Vet if you have any concerns or questions

LHN preparing for busy 2017 slate By Landan Kuhlmann landan@theleadernews.com
The new year has begun, and that means full speed ahead for Lutheran High North as its leaders are set to embark on a spring schedule chock full of exciting activities and competitons for area middle schoolers. Academics On Jan. 25, LHN is set to host Academic Quest, where all the Lutheran schools in the area and other schools have a half day where they descend upon LHN for an afternoon filled with tests on various subjects and receive awards for their performance. “Different teachers write tests, and some students even come up with some different topics and write tests,� said Kendra Benson, admissions director for LHN. “We also host P.S.I.A (March 4), which is a statewide competiton. It’s all different middle schools from the area.� Fine Arts The week before Academic Quest, Lutheran High North will also host an honor band concert Jan. 18. Students anywhere from 5th to 8th grade will descend upon LHN for a half day to learn music before uniting at day’s end for one large performance at the end of the day. “It’s a really cool thing for people who are interested in band, or schools that have good bands, to get involved in,� Benson said. The school is also in the midst of preparing for its annual spring musical (The Sound of Music) April 27-29, a production which has seen lots of sweat and elbow grease employed to come to fruition. “We built our own set, a lot of times we’ll do our own
props and hang our own lights. It’s a cool thing to come and see,� Benson said. “Last year we had more than 1,200 people come over the course of four days to see ‘Seuss-ical,’ so it’s a big production.� LHN will offer two matinee performances on Thursday, April 27 for senior citizens and surrounding schools, then Friday and Saturday performances at 7 p.m. All ticket proceeds go towards covering the cost of the show, and any leftover funds are put into the budget for purchasing new equipment to help the program grow. Admissions Benson reminded the public that LHN would like to have applications turned in by Jan. 31 to begin the process of
interviewing and reviewing their files. For those desiring a closer look at the school, Lutheran High North also offers Shadow Days, where potential enrollees can test the waters before committing. “Students can come to the school for a half day and shadow other students to get a feel for our school and what it is we do at Lutheran High North. They just need to contact me and set that up,� Benson said. For admissions information, visit admissions.lutheranhighnorth.org. For information on these and other events, visit lutheranhighnorth.org/. This story is part of our paid content for Great Expectations. More can be found on Page 7B.

St. Rose School artists go rodeo Small seeds yield By Betsy Denson betsy@theleadernews.com
Parents of new St. Rose of Lima students may not know the full impact of the school’s art program until they get the end of the year portfolio of their child’s work. “The boys are so proud to show us their work at the end of the year and we love for them to tell us about the pieces,” said St. Rose parent Heather Cook. “We are so grateful St. Rose dedicates time and resources to the arts.” This creativity and output is a credit to art teacher Toni Pendleton, who has been teaching art at St. Rose of Lima Catholic School for 20 years. Pendleton, who has a BA degree from the University of Houston, previously worked as a graphic artist and for an art distributor. She came to teach at the school when her own children went there. “I thought the portfolios would be a great way to show the growth of each child and a good way to get artwork home that was not folded and put in a backpack,” she said. Pendleton plans her curricu-

lum by following the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and incorporating the basic elements and principles of art into the lessons as well as introducing the students to artists and art history. A special highlight for parents is the painted self-portraits that their kids do over the years. “I let other grade levels create their self-portraits as well,” said Pendleton. “However, they may experience using a different medium such as oil pastels, pastels, pencils or markers.” For a number of years, the students’ vision has been shared with a wider audience
at the Houston Livestock and Rodeo through its Rodeo School Art Contest. In January, schools participating in the Rodeo’s School Art Program host district competitions judged by the Show’s School Art Committee. The artwork is divided into five categories: colored drawing, mixed media, monochromatic drawing, painting and 3-D. Each entry receives a red, white or blue ribbon. From the blue ribbon winners, the Best of Show, Gold Medal and Special Merit awards are selected in each class: elementary, junior high and high school. Student artwork must have a western theme.
fruit at St. Theresa
“I have had the students participate in the program almost as long as I’ve been here,” said Pendleton. “The number of entries we have varies each year. We are given a quota from the Rodeo School Art Committee determined by number of participants at each school.” This year’s batch of St. Rose rodeo artwork includes cowgirls and cowboys, as well as rodeo clowns, chickens, pigs and much more. Heather Cook’s second grade son Charles Cook was excited to participate and to earn a blue ribbon and an award of excellence for his work. “I was happy and surprised my picture got an award,” he said. “Everyone in the school did one. In my artwork I wanted to mix and match colors and make it look like the real rodeo. I put fireworks in it to look like a celebration.” Pendleton says that this is probably the most students that have been represented in the contest from St. Rose in a while. “I feel our students’ love of art shows through their work and I think they work hard to emphasize their image,” she said.

Newest literacy program piloted at area school By Landan Kuhlmann landan@theleadernews.com
This past Tuesday, Jan. 17, Browning Elementary in the Northern Heights neighborhood served as the pilot school for the Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation’s newest intiative—My Home Library, a project meant to bridge the visible gap in the community with fewer children having access to books in their home in this day and age. “Research shows that when children have books in their home and choices in which books they read, they read more often, have higher academic levels and become lifelong readers,” said Julie Baker Finck, director of the Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation. Through the initiative, BBHLF has created an online platform which enables children to go online and create a wish list of books for their home Library at a negotiated discounted pricing; children can pick six books to put on their list for just $30. BBHLF has also reached out to community members in hopes that they would sponsor a child for simply the $30 cost of which would provide that child every book on his or her wish list. A need seen, action taken In the Heights, Baker-Finck said a high rate of children are eligible for free or reduced rate lunches; therefore the Foundation saw an economic need and jumped at the opportunity to enrich the lives of community schoolchildren. They did so with the help of partners such as Marathon Oil, who has previously partnered with Brown-

ing for a number of years with Junior Achievement and were only too happy to work alongside the Foundation in piloting the program. “They stepped up and said they wanted to help when we approached them needing a pilot school,” Finck said. My Home Library is just one prong in the Foundation’s goal of providing school children all possible tools which could aid in improving their chances for timely graduation and success down the road. “We want all children to graduate on time with the skills necessary for success in work and life,” Baker-Finck said. “So when you look at strategies that are important for every child to meet those achievement goals, it’s that they need to have books.” Baker-Finck said the diversity of book selection will provide students a wealth of access to words they typically would not hear in normal conversation as well as give
them exposure to things they wouldn’t normally encounter – places, animals and even imaginary places. “It’s an outlet for children to learn about creativity, build their imaginations and help them be successful,” she said. “We feel that by having this program and providing more children access to books in the home, they can practice the things they’re learning at school and hopefully have that one-on-one or alone time to read independently at home.” For more information on the My Home Library program or to sponsor a child, readers can visit myhomelibraryhouston. org. “So much research validates independent reading time and the value of books in the home—we know that if we can just put the fundamental tools in the hands of kids in their homes, they’ll be more successful with the help of parents and teachers,” BakerFinck said.
