Gluttons for groceries Multiple local supermarkets scrambling to meet demand By Adam Zuvanich azuvanich@theleadernews.com
Community Facebook groups have doubled as online grocery forums this month, with users providing frequent status reports about stores in Northwest Houston. They’re letting neighbors know about the length of lines and availability of products such as bottled water, fresh meat and produce, canned goods, frozen foods, hand soap and toilet paper. With people stocking up and staying home amidst concerns about the spread of COVID-19, the upper-respiratory disease caused by the new strain of coronavirus, grocery stores all around the area have been slammed and struggling to keep up with demand. Residents have shared photos of crowds outside stores and empty shelves at supermarket staples such as H-E-B, Kroger and Whole Foods 365. “It’ll be 30 years (Tuesday) with H-E-B,” company president Scott McClelland said Monday during a news conference in Houston. “I’ve never seen anything like this month.” McClelland joined executives from Kroger and Randall’s as well as Houston

Empty shelf sightings have been common at area grocery stores such as H-E-B at 2300 N. Shepherd Dr.
Mayor Sylvester Turner, who assured the public earlier this week that Houston’s food supply is strong. They encouraged citizens to refrain from stockpiling goods while announcing measures aimed at curbing that trend. Texas-based H-E-B, which has locations at 2300 N. Shepherd Dr. and 3663 Washington Ave., changed its Houstonarea store hours to 8 a.m.-8 p.m. starting last Saturday. The same hours apply to Joe V’s Smart Shop, Mi Tienda and Central Market locations, and McClelland said the purpose of the modified hours is to allow those stores an opportu-
nity to replenish their shelves. McClelland also said H-EB is dispatching 1,300 trucks per day that deliver products to its stores all over the state. The company is expanding its curbside services as well.
“So there will be food,” McClelland said. “There’s not a reason to stock up. Just come back tomorrow.” Joe Kelley of Kroger, which has adopted new hours of 7 a.m.-10 p.m., said the company also is well-positioned to meet demand but is struggling to put products back on shelves before they are scooped up. Kroger has four locations in the area – 1035 N. Shepherd Dr., 1440 Studemont St., 1352 W. 43rd St. and 239 W. 20th St. A spokesperson for German grocery chain ALDI, which opened a Garden Oaks location last year at 3938 N. Shepherd Dr., said all of its United States stores have changed their hours to 9 a.m.-7 p.m. Some locations may need to temporarily close during the day to restock. “Now more than ever, our service to the community is critical,” the spokesperson said. With government and health officials asking AmeriSee Groceries, P. 3B

Open-air markets could make for safer shopping By Zarah Parker zarah@theleadernews.com
Grocery stores are struggling to keep their shelves stocked during the COVID-19 pandemic. Customers are lining up early and emptying the shelves in order to prepare for a potential quarantine. But is a packed supermarket the safest place to buy food during this time of social distancing? Scott Packard, chief communications and public affairs officer for the Houston Health Department, said outdoor markets pose a lower health risk for contracting the upperrespiratory disease caused by the new strain of coronavirus. “Generally speaking, because of the open-air nature of the outdoors, there is typically a lower health risk,” Packard said in an email. “However, it’s important to again note that COVID-19 risk is associated with proximity and length of exposure whether that occurs indoors or outdoors.” Jessica Ivins, owner of Edgesetter Marketing & Events — the company that puts on the Heights Morning Market every Sunday from 10 a.m.–2 p.m. — pointed out that it’s fear and frenzy that is causing people to go into crowded stores. In those stores there’s a lot of people touching a lot

of things, but at an outdoor market everything is typically more spread out. “If you think about any item on the shelf at a Walmart, how does it get there and how many places does it rest before getting to that shelf,” Ivins said. “Then you have the storing and stocking. You have so many touch points. All these things that you don’t have at a farmers market.” At markets, the seller is usually the maker, so buyers can see exactly who the product is coming from. Markets in the area, including the Heights Morning
Market as well as Eleanora’s Market, held Saturdays from 9 a.m.–1 p.m. at 2120 Ella Blvd., and The Farmstand at Petrol Station, held Saturdays from 9 a.m.–1 p.m. at 948 Wakefield Dr., have also implemented various public health precautions, like no sampling of food, hand-washing stations and not allowing customers to touch products. Instead, customers must point to items they want before having them bagged by vendors. “We just want people to come and enjoy our cheese and enjoy that time out in the market,” Gary Young of Dap-
per Goat Dairy Farm said. Young, who sets up at Eleanora’s Market, said that during this time it’s even more important for markets not to be cancelled because it’s an access to food and because of the livelihood of the vendors. Another market Young sets up at is in Tomball. It’s been cancelled for the next two weeks, and he said he doesn’t understand why. “This is their way of surviving. They make their money like this every week,” Federico Cavatore of Eleanora’s Market said about market vendors. Cathy Sullivan of The Farmstand at Petrol Station echoes Cavatore’s sentiment. “Small farmers depend on weekly income. Perishable produce cannot wait,” Sullivan said. “It must be harvested when ripe or it will be wasted, composted or animal feed, which is a loss of income for the grower.” Ivins said farmers markets also tend to sell products with healthier ingredients, natural supplements like CBD oil and elderberry syrup, and other natural remedies. “The bottom line, and why I think it’s so important to keep (markets) going, and what farmers markets represent in general, is health,” Ivins said. “And weekly farmers markets shine a spotlight on that.”

Don’t stop supporting local restaurants Zarah Parker Managing Editor
On Monday, Houston officials ordered the closure of bars and placed restrictions on restaurants. Dining in is no longer an option at local restaurants in order to help slow the spread of COVID-19, the upper-respiratory disease caused by the new strain of coronavirus. This measure was put into effect Tuesday and continues for at least 15 days. While many small businesses are taking hits, the potential damage to local restaurants is particularly heartbreaking. Having covered the food and drink scene in our area for two years, a lot of these places have become a part of my life. When Hurricane Harvey wreaked havoc on Houston in
2017, I saw the Houston community as a whole come together to help their neighbors. Now, I’m seeing that again in many ways, including the multiple posts I’ve seen on social media of local residents reminding people how they can still support restaurants during this time. You can still order carryout. Many restaurants are offering pick-up, delivery and curbside services. The Classic, 5922 Washington Ave., is offering a limited to-go menu as well as a “Hunker Down” menu via online ordering, phone orders and DoorDash. Curbside pickup is available from 11 a.m.–7 p.m. daily. The Hunker Down menu will feed a family of four for $100. Each order will also include a roll of toilet paper while supplies last. They will offer free in-house delivery on orders of $50 or more. Local Foods, 714 Yale St., is offering a limited to-
go menu as well as a Hunker Down available for pickup or delivery from 11 a.m.–8 p.m. daily. Guests can order online or call and pick up curbside or get it delivered via DoorDash. They will also offer free inhouse delivery on orders of $50 or more. Field & Tides, 705 E. 11th St., is offering its full menu, with the exception of raw food items, for takeout and pickup orders, as well as delivery to the Heights, Hunters Creek, Spring Valley and Montrose. The restaurant will offer a $50 gift card after someone places a third order with them that can be used for dine-in only once their normal business operations are back in place. Delivery orders require a minimum of $20 and they will charge a $5 flat delivery fee. Rainbow Lodge, 2011 Ella Blvd., is offering curbside pickup, along with a $20 gift card for a future visit.
And these aren’t the only places that are transitioning to carryout or offering promotions. I don’t have the space to name all of them, but I’ve seen several restaurants in our area post that they have that option available. Another way to help a local spot while business is slower than usual is to buy gift cards. Other ways to help include buying merchandise, such as shirts, or donating if the restaurant has that option. Of course, you can still tip while grabbing your carryout. It’s also important to not forget the shops that aren’t your typical restaurant, like Tea + Victory, the board game cafe at 2030 E. T.C. Jester Blvd. The shop is offering curbside service for coffee and is currently working on a plan of action for food. We don’t know how the next week will hit us, so let’s do the little we can while we can.

Greater Houston Dental Arts bringing personal touch to dentistry By Landan Kuhlmann landan@theleadernews.com
Going to the dentist is usually not received with enthusiasm, but more apprehension and fear. The only dual-trained Orthodontist-Periodontist in the Greater Houston Area, coming soon to the Garden OaksOak Forest neighborhood, is setting out to change that image and reduce the apprehension once and for all. Setting up shop in the heart of Oak Forest at 2003 W. 34th St., across from Waltrip High School, Dr. Fabia Younus is bringing state of the art dentistry with a personal touch to the residents of the Greater Heights area with Greater Houston Dental Arts. “I just wanted to always have an office where every-
one feels at home and I get to know everyone personally,” she said of the decision to set down business roots in the area. “I have incorporated things at the office that will ensure all patients are made to feel like they are a part of our family.” Dr. Younus completed her general dentistry residency at the University of Texas School of Dentistry in Houston, where she currently also teaches as an assistant professor. She then set off to pursue a Masters in Periodontics at Saint Louis University and a Masters in Orthodontics at Columbia University in New York. At the end of her training in 2017, Dr. Younus moved back to Houston and settled into the Garden Oaks – Oak Forest neighborhood along with

her husband and now threeyear-old son before deciding to fully immerse herself into the neighborhood by opening an office here. As the only dual dental specialist in the Houston area, she specializes in Orthodontics as well as Periodontics and Dental Implants. Beyond the actual services,
another key aspect of the practice – which Dr. Younus hopes to open in April – will be building relationships with her patients. Being a mother to a three year old little boy, she understands the empathy that patients and their parents yearn for from their healthcare providers, and wants Greater Heights residents to feel the same love. “That personal connection I have with patients puts ev-
erything into perspective and makes them feel a lot better about coming in,” she said, noting her own experience when choosing a specialist for herself and her family. In efforts to treat her patients in the best way possible, Dr. Younus spent eight years in training after dental school, and seeks to foster a comforting environment while putting a smile on the face of anyone who walks in the doors at Greater Houston Dental Arts. “(Getting to know my patients) puts them at ease – it makes me enjoy my work and makes me want to come in everyday,” she said. “A smile is your best accessory and every time I perfect an already gorgeous smile, it makes me feel like I have empowered my patients and made a difference in their lives.”
Dr. Younus said she is planning a special grand opening bash for the clinic that was tentatively scheduled for April 18. However, she is playing her part in “flattening the curve” with the coronavirus outbreak and exercising precaution. She recommends following her on social media for updates regarding the opening bash.

To-go goes well at Zoes Kitchen Zarah Parker Managing Editor
I can pretty much guarantee you that if you order food togo from a restaurant you often frequent, it will be different than what you’re used to when dining in. The temperature of the food is usually a little off, the packaging sometimes makes a mess of your dish and every once in a while an item you ordered is missing from the bag. Despite all of this, I still love ordering food to-go. I just recognize it as a different experience than dining in. Amidst health concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic, and restaurant restrictions imposed by the City of Houston, my eating-out habits have been kicked while to-go ordering is now in style. Zoes Kitchen, a chain restaurant that serves Mediterranean with a modern twist,
is a place I don’t mind ordering to-go from because I don’t usually have the temperature, packaging or forgotten item problems. Well, the last time I ordered to-go, they did forget to put utensils in my bag. Delivery is also an option, but I’ve only ever ordered carry-out. The process is simple. I like to order online, which is quick and easy and allows you to add or take out ingredients you don’t want. When you pick up, there’s no need to walk up to the counter. All togo orders are on a shelf to the left of the entrance. Then you grab-and-go, unless you ordered a drink, which you fill yourself. The Greek Chicken Pita is a favorite option of mine. Grilled chicken comes wrapped in pita with spring mix, tomatoes, Tzatziki, caramelized onions and feta. On the side I get cauliflower rice and a small serving of the classic hummus. When I recently ordered the chicken pita, it didn’t quite look like the picture that is

shown on the online menu. The chicken was hidden under lots of greens and the onions were few, but looks didn’t matter. It was still warm — even after driving 15 minutes to get back to my office — and tasted good. What makes it taste good for me is the Tzatziki, which is a type of sauce made of salted strained yogurt or diluted yogurt mixed with cucumbers, garlic, salt and olive oil. What makes me like it even more is that I personally can’t
reed with garlic, tahini, lemon juice and salt is one of my favorites. And the warm triangular pieces of pita that come with it only help. Recently, I tried the power grain bowl. It’s a warm bowl of lentils, quinoa, farro and rice with Tzatziki, Harissa, tomato relish and fresh dill. It traveled well. The lentils, quinoa, farro and rice was mostly mild in earthy, nutty flavors. The Harissa, a chili pepper paste on top, gave it a spicy
tell that it’s made with any yogurt. It’s fresh and a little tangy, which goes well with the chicken. The cauliflower rice is served cold and is not much like regular rice. It has hints of nut and a sweet undertone. The pieces of rice are also smaller and tend to be crunchier. When it comes to hummus, I usually don’t go for the classic or “regular” kind. However, this hummus of chickpeas pu-

Canine muscle atrophy: What can be done? Dear Tabby, My elderly pug has a host of medical problems, but one that is really slowing him down is muscle atrophy. I’ve tried acupuncture and hydrotherapy but was wondering if there is anything else to be done? Losing Muscle Tone in Forest West Dear Losing Muscle Tone, As dogs get older, changes in diet and amount of exercise can cause a reduction in muscle mass--most often in their most muscular areas, such as their hind legs. While age-related muscle atrophy is sometimes just a fact of growing old gracefully for your pet, there are a few things that you can do to ease any discomfort related to this loss of muscle mass as well as things you can do to slow down the muscle atrophy.
have regular exercise in his life, start slowly (perhaps with a walk about the block) and build upon this regimen until your dog is getting about 30 minutes of brisk activity every day. Supplements for muscle atrophy Assuming that your dog’s muscle atrophy isn’t caused by any underlying medical conditions (a visit to the vet can rule that out), with more attention to his diet and exercise, you should be able to greatly reduce the muscle atrophy. Some experts also recommend supplements to slow muscle atrophy. Fish oil is a supplement that is beneficial to dogs for a variety
of health concerns--muscle atrophy among them. Fish oil also helps to lubricate your dog’s joints, which can make exercise more comfortable for your pooch, which, in turn, helps to build muscle. While muscle atrophy is common in your dog’s later years, you can help make his remaining time more comfortable (and engaging) by making sure he’s on a good, age-appropriate diet and exercising him often. The time spent improving your pet’s health will strengthen your bond and help you to make the most of your time with your four-legged friend. Do you have a question for Tabby? Email her at deartabby questions@gmail.com
Pet of the Week
Dietary changes One way to help your senior pet with muscle atrophy is to make sure he’s getting adequate protein for his age. As dogs age, their nutritional needs change. Dogs have a harder time metabolizing protein later in life, so a special diet with easily processed proteins may help him to retain the needed protein for muscle maintenance. Ask your vet for guidance in finding a nutritionally appropriate food for your senior dog. Exercise to build muscle Just like with humans, diet and exercise are among the most important factors in combating many age-related ailments. For dogs, exercise has a whole bevy of benefits, paramount among them, muscle building and maintenance. If your dog doesn’t already

Groceries, from P. 1B cans to stay at home as often as possible and avoid public gatherings of 10 people or more, the grocery stores also are taking precautions to keep their buildings clean and implementing measures aimed at promoting social distancing. McClelland said H-E-B is sanitizing its stores twice per day, restricting the flow of customers and installing clear windows between customers and cashiers. As the Houston area copes with the COVID-19 pandemic in the coming weeks and
months, and stores such as H-E-B try to respond to increased demand, McClelland said customers could eventually see a decrease in the assortment of products. “How do we simplify our business so that more people can have access to those things they need the most, and keep them safe while they do it?” McClelland asked. Spokespersons for ALDI, H-E-B and Kroger did not answer emailed questions about their sales in recent weeks, but the crowded stores and
depleted shelves suggest their revenues have spiked. All three companies, along with Randall’s, said they are hiring. So along with providing food to the community, the grocery chains might also provide jobs at a time when other businesses figure to downsize or shutter. “We’re working hard to serve our community,” Kelley said. “We would love anyone in need of a job to join our team.” Follow Adam Zuvanich on Twitter @AZuvanich
Movement to help small businesses grows larger By Betsy Denson betsy@theleadernews.com
With the close of the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo 11 days early, there were a lot of disappointed business owners and vendors who make a sizeable amount of their yearly income at the annual event. In the wake of the closesure over concerns about the spread of COVID-19, a Facebook page called Houston Rodeo Vendors 2020 was set up and now has 159,000 members. Its purpose is to promote the goods of those vendors to those who might want to purchase them. So far, the response has been promising. Danni Jo Hinman posted about a large shipment of crystal necklaces she got the day before the rodeo closed. Less than a day later, she had sold out of them. Candlelight Oaks resident Lori Araiza is planning to buy some taffy. “That is our tradition every year,” she said. “(To) come home with a large bag of assorted taffy.” Now, with the social distancing that is being encouraged and mandated by the City of Houston, local small businesses are growing concerned about their own survival. Christina Martinez of Christina Martinez Consulting was talking with client Jonathan Kolmetz, who owns Oaks Wealth Management, about the current environment for local businesses. The result of that conversation was the “Help Greater Heights overcome Covid-19” Facebook group. “Jon and I both work with local business owners and enjoy having a helping hand in seeing these people succeed,” Martinez said. “In a time where there might not be much help to give -- other than staying home -- we think setting up Help Greater Heights over-

come Covid-19 is just one small thing we can do to help the small businesses we all know and love. These business owners answer every call for help with PTA donations, fundraising opportunities, and going above and beyond. It’s our turn to support them.” The page will share updates on how residents can support their favorite neighborhood businesses within mandated regulations — like shopping online deals, ordering from curbside menus, buying online gift cards or sharing trusted content. Local business owners can reach out via the page to ask for support. The page will also share good neighborhood news with the hashtag #GreaterHeightsStrong. “Thank you for being there for small business during this difficult time,” said Susan Tate Aifd, who owns Darlene’s Flower & Gift Shop. “We greatly appreciate your help and assistance.”
