Most people don’t need the International Dairy Foods Association to tout summer as the “unchallenged season for eating ice cream and other related products.” Ice cream and hot months have been joined at the hip since Presi-dent George Washington spent $200 for it dur-ing the summer of 1790.
That’s why the recall and halt in production of Blue Bell’s ice cream has had an effect on Leader readers and businesses this summer. While all acknowledge the seriousness of the listeria outbreak which sickened seven and killed three, many are anxiously waiting for pro-duction to begin again, while others have sworn off the brand.
“Blue Bell has been my favorite for years but after hearing they had problems with Listeria since 2009, I’m out,” said Patrick Parker.
“I’ve always bought ice cream with fewer ingredients in it anyway, we will survive,” said Lara Jonsdottir.
“I stand by [Blue Bell],” said Ana Leech. “Let me know if you find ice cream worth eating that came from a grocery store. I haven’t yet.”
“We have not replaced it with anything and are missing our favorite ice cream,” said Cheryl Oldweiler. “We haven’t found good replace-ments for our favorites (Chocolate Mint and
Pecans Pralines and Cream). We love these fla-vors so much that our wedding ‘cake’ was made entirely of these Blue Bell flavors.”
One by product of the recall is that people are trying, and liking other brands. Jessi Heiner said that her family has found a “wonderful re-placement” in Graeter’s.
“It’s stocked at Kroger and definitely worth a try,” she said.
Brian Martin said that “the H-E-B 1905 Va-nilla is off the hook” and Lori Creppon said that “H-E-B Creamy Creations is working for now.”
Other honorable mentions include Alden’s, Haagen-Dazs, Ben & Jerry’s and the Whole Foods 365 brand.
Joy Partain, the Kroger Public Affairs Man-ager for Greater Houston, said that they’ve seen an uptick in other frozen treats lately.
“Other ice cream brands (Dreyer’s, Blue Bun-ny, Ben & Jerry’s, and Kroger’s own high-end line Private Selection) have all seen an increase in sales,” Partain said.
Reader and health food business operator Barbara Zuluaga hopes the recall gives people an opportunity to think about the way their food is produced.
“After all, is it really the same nostalgia-induc-ing ice cream our grandparents grew up with if they changed out all of the real ingredients out for some cheap, chemical replacements?” she asked.
Zuluaga shares commercial kitchen space on Crosstimbers with a local ice cream company called Honey Child’s Sweet Creams.
“They have an incredible all natural product and use local grass-fed milk, pasture-raised eggs and seasonal fruit from the farmers mar-ket,” she said. “You can’t get more homemade than that.”
There is some anecdotal evidence that local ice cream parlors and frozen yogurt shops are enjoying a boost.
“It’s causing me to spend more time at Fat
Cat Creamery,” said Carissa Barcus, while Les-lie Ryan advocated going to Baskin Robbins to support the neighborhood.
“More trips to SweetFrog for our family,” said Stephanie Gashette.
SweetFrog’s Christina Logan said that this time last year they’d only been open for a week so there was no way to compare, while Fat Cat Creamery’s Sarah Johnston said that although she hasn’t noticed an uptick in walk-ins, they

After starting her own busi-ness in 1978, at age 62 no less, Mildred Holeman said she has learned a thing or two about how drastically the real es-tate market has changed. As the owner of Mildred Hole-man Realty, she does her best to stay true to her company tagline - “The Office with a Heart.”
“I always treat my clients by the golden rule,” Holeman said. “I always treat them the way I would want to be treat-ed.”
After the death of her boss in the 70s, Holeman struck out on her own with her own busi-ness, and recalls simpler times handling real estate for both commercial and residential properties.
“I remember a time when you could have sold some-thing like the Rice Hotel with just a two-page contract,” Holeman said. “The papers now have become voluminous
and financing is totally differ-ent. Everything is far more complicated.”
For years Holeman has handled properties both big and small, selling homes as well as properties for organiza-tions like Our Savior Lutheran Church, Aldine ISD and other groups. She has remained con-sistently active in the commu-nity, and bears the distinction of being the first non-Czech citizen to serve as President of the SPSJT Lodge 88. She was also elected Lutheran Woman of the Year and now serves as President of Circle of Grace and Young at Heart.
Fellow graduates of the Carthage High School Class of 1943 also understand her reputation, and she was given a Distinguished Alumni Award last year.
“I try to stay very active in anything I do,” Holeman said.
Holeman said that her place in the community has strengthened her reputation throughout the years, but it’s her sincerity and approach-
able nature that she thinks has made her business successful.
“I think it’s my straight-for-ward approach, really,” Hole-man said. “I won’t tell them anything I don’t believe is true. I think a lot of people appre-ciate that, particularly when it comes to real estate.”
Mildred Holeman Realty can be reached by phone at 713-691-6434 and at their of-fices located at Suite 112 at 4001 N. Shepherd Dr.

Nursing new business on Pinemont
Photo by Jonathan GarrisOfficials with Kaci Builders say a new business will emerge from its construction site on Pinemont Drive near Bingle. While the company could not give specifics just yet, the group says a new plant nurs-ery will be coming to the area. The Wood Chop, the property’s previous tenent and firewood supplier, has since relocated to a lot across the street.

Ice Cream from P. 1A
have had an increase in wholesale inquiries from around Texas.
“We personally can’t wait for [Blue Bell] to come back,” Johnson said.
Johnson’s sentiment reveals that for many the loyalty to Blue Bell is not just about the ice cream, it’s about the com-pany itself which opened shop in Brenham, TX in 1907.
“The issue for me isn’t the absence of Homemade Vanil-la in my freezer but the impact it has made on the longtime employees and the Brenham community,” said Judi Worley.
Laurie Pitzer who works at St. Matthew’s Child Develop-ment Center said that that every summer, the Kids’ Day Out summer camp group has looked forward to their annual trip to the creamery and the aquatic center next door.
“It’s the one swimming trip we take each summer with forty kiddos and parents,” she said. “Without the factory tour, we have opted not to take the bus to the aquatic center. I’ve been reaching out to find other options for a swimming trip, but nothing seems to compare to this one annual trip. Not to mention, seeing the freezers full at the store with ice cream, but not a single Blue Bell prod-uct makes me sad. I’m sad for the community of Brenham, as I’m sure the lovely town will be taking an economic hit.”
Blue Bell officials say it will be several months at least be-fore production resumes and recently took to Facebook to squash rumors of new deliv-eries: “You may have noticed a few photos or videos of our trucks on the roads recently. Unfortunately they are not out delivering ice cream…yet.
These trucks are making their way back to markets that re-main open and will be used once we begin distributing ice cream to stores again.”

When the cranes came for David Adickes’ iconic 36-foot tall statues of the Beatles last week at 2500 Summer St., some observers were caught unawares. When Adickes owned Sculpturworx Studio at the space just off I-10, he used the lot behind his building to house the Beatles, as well as the 18 foot heads of many U.S. presidents.
However, since he sold the building in 2010 to Phil Arnett and L.E. “Chap” Chapman the Beatles were on borrowed time as the space was needed for a parking lot to accommodate the 16,000 square foot enter-tainment venue that will now occupy the third floor of Summer Street.
For a time, there was discussion of sending the Beatles to Austin to stand at the front of a development there. However, concerns arose that that the real Beatles might perceive that their counterparts were being used as advertising, so the deal was never solidified. That’s just fine with Adickes.
“I didn’t want to send them anyway,” he said.Adickes said he’d be willing to donate them to the city, ideally
to be displayed in Stude Park. A second choice is 1816 Thomp-son Street where his “We Love Houston” sign currently sits.
“The Beatles could command that spot,” Adickes said. Of course then the “We Love Houston” sign would need to be relo-cated and Adickes doesn’t have a definite spot in mind for that.
As for the Presidents who have been at his Nance Street stu-dio for some time, there is interest from a development in Pear-land. And his 35 foot tall Charlie Chaplin? It’s a possibility for Sundance Cinemas.
“I had to weigh it,” said Adickes. “It’s 12,000 pounds.”Most recently, Adickes has been working on his newest
sculpture for the Washington Avenue Arts District, a vertical sculpture of three letters – ART.
“It will have the names of great artists and at the bottom, Your Name Here,” he said.
Can anyone say photo op?
In other art newsThe building that formerly
housed the art gallery Avis Frank, at 1606 White Oak Dr., is now up for lease. Artist and Gallery Director David Har-daker said the building, origi-nally a gas station built in the 1920s, was no longer a viable space for the gallery and that after taking a bit of a break – and working on his Monster Gallery (Google it) – he was looking to move into a space in Washington Avenue Arts District. “We’ve pretty much vacated.”
Interested in occupying the White Oak space? Call 713-817-6175.
Public Storage on Mill-wee to close
Last week’s flooding dam-aged many structures, one of which was the Public Stor-age facility at 5323 Milwee Street “Just a heads up if you have anything in storage off of Millwee,” wrote one on Facebook. “The Public Stor-age flooded out and they are abandoning the property. We have a few days to get our stuff out.” Indeed the nation-al office no longer has it listed as a Public Storage property.
Ella Plaza tenants to moveAll the news so far has been about the tenants moving into
Ella Plaza but not everyone is staying. APEX Tae Kwon Do moved to 1355 Judiway on May 29. Classes resumed there on June 1. Mary Lee’s Poodle Shoppe next door is moving to 701 West 11th by Shepherd. For more information call 713-681-6218.
Business Briefs
The torrential rain that ravaged Texas in May 2015 is being de-scribed as a “once in a lifetime” flood. Thousands of Houstonians suffered flooding in the homes. Hundreds of homes were swept away along the Blanco River as waters quickly rose to match the highest flood level on record. Flooded cars by the thousands made national headlines as many of our roadways became lit-tered with cars that had become quickly engulfed by rising water. Our major rivers have displaced untold numbers as these water-ways reach “once in a lifetime” levels. Tragically, lives were lost as Texans perished in this “once in a lifetime” flood. “Once in a lifetime” floods occur more frequently than the name implies as tropical storm Allison of 2001, Hurricane Ike of 2008 and now the May 2015 were all described as “once in a lifetime” events, yet they all occurred in the last 15 years! When “Once in a lifetime” events occur in the financial markets, they are referred to as “black swans”. The 1987 bear market was a “black swan” because the S&P 500 lose 25% in a single day, the largest one day loss ever! The 2000 – 2002 bear market was a ‘black swan” because the S&P 500 and NASDAQ for the first time declined three years in a row, losing 52% and 70% respectively. The 2008-2009 bear market was a “black swan” as a precursor to the most severe economic crisis since the “Great Depression”. Zero percent returns on savings accounts, money markets and CDs is another “black swan”. That is 4 “black swan” events in the last 30 years! Since we are to expect to witness just one of these events in our lifetime, we are overachievers at witnessing these “black swans” or perhaps they occur more frequently than we are led to believe! How will the next “black swan” event impact your investment portfolio? Our proprietary risk analysis called “Hidden Levers” can tell you what will happen to your investments when the next “black swan” occurs. Concerned about rising interest rates, high-er inflation, European debt crisis or a slowing China? Our risk analysis will tell you.

After months of uncertain-ty, it appears the Pinemont Park & Ride controversy will be coming to a close for many residents as officials with the Federal Transit Authority of-ficially approved the sale of the former site from METRO to Harris County last week.
METRO board member Jim Robinson said federal officials approved the sale May 29 and the day preced-ing the approval board mem-bers indicated they would be preparing paperwork for the final steps of the sale. The site will be sold for its ap-praised value of over $3 mil-lion and the METRO board anticipates closing on the sale June 4.
“Both the METRO Board of Directors and Harris County Commissioner’s Court has approved the transaction so this final step is a formality,” Robinson said.
Perhaps more positive news for METRO is that the organization will be retain-ing the federal share of the money earned from the sale to be used for other transpor-tation projects here in Hous-ton. The site had originally been bought with money comprised of 90 percent of federal money, meaning that same percentage would have to go back to the federal government.
“The FTA could have easily said send the money back to us, but they indi-cated we can keep it and use it for other federally eligible projects,” Robinson said. “There is a laundry list of things we can use that money for so we’re very pleased with how this agreement has turned out.”
The final steps end months of uncertainty for surrounding neighbor-hoods who feared the for-mer home of the Park & Ride would be turned into low income housing as part of the Houston Housing Authority’s original plan to purchase and develop
on the lot. Furor over the planned development, and concerns regarding property values and traffic, caused the METRO board to reconsider the sale to HHA and instead opted to sell the property to Harris County.
In a previous Leader ar-ticle, Robinson said Harris County would likely use the property to build new county facilities, which could be anything from staffing offices to tax facilities.

Part of what makes our community grand is the con-tinuity of our generations of neighbors and friends, and that unique small town feel-ing. Two of our area daugh-ters will begin their teaching careers this fall in the very schools where they them-selves began their own ca-reers as students.
Congratulations to An-gela Zuccarini who recently graduated from the Univer-sity of Houston with a degree in Elementary Education. Angela will begin her teach-ing career right where she herself started out at Dur-ham Elementary. She will be teaching Pre-K. Angela’s very proud parents are Tony and Diane Zuccarini of Shep-herd Park Plaza.
A little birdy told me that Diana Whitefield will be teaching 2nd Grade at St. Rose of Lima Catholic School this fall. Way to go, Diana! The school is thrilled to have another one of its own stu-dents coming back to lead a classroom. Diana’s beaming parents are Bill and Janeal Whitefield of Candlelight Plaza.
Thelma DeLaCruz sends congratulations to her daugh-ter Rebecca DeLaCruz and all the Seniors from Wal-trip High School who were graduated this past Saturday evening. Thelma loved what guest speaker Congress-woman Sheila Jackson Lee had to say about Waltrip High School.
The DeLaCruz family missed part of the gradua-tion due to the weather last Saturday evening, and in the end, about 1/3 of the gradu-ates were missing due to the flooding and heavy rains.
The young athletes as well as parent and community volunteers at Oaks Dads Club were challenged this year – as were all little leaguers in the area – by heavy rains and wet fields. In spite of all the rain, some of the season’s
games were played and the season has ended. A number of athletes have been chosen to play on the ODC All Star Teams and The Leader News-paper congratulates these ball players: TBall Green Team - Adrian Campa, Devin Cervantes, Jerry Colchado, Max Gonza-lez, Carson Hall, Zachary Luna, Joshua Martinez, Gavin Mayahi, Hunter McKirahan, Joseph Sali-nas, Gabriel Salyers, Cris-tian Silva, Connor Sinclair, and Julio Ulloa; TBall Yel-low Team - Raul Centeno, Juan Chacon, R.J. Coney, Jacob Ecroyd, Preston El-lisor, Gavin Garcia, Jesus Gonzalez, Aidan Hinojosa, Aaron Kallus, John Mar-tinez, Alex Meade, Juan Miranda, Jaxon Roberts, Ethan Salmons, and Wyatt Tyrell; Pee Wee A Team - Anthony Aguilar, Jr., En-rique Araiza, Marc Argui-jo, David Casillas, Joseph Chavez, Nathan Cruz, Ka-mron Eldridge, A.J. Her-nandez, Devin Mayahi, Eddie Medina, III, Lucas Mendez, Gabriel Perales, David Vasquez, Evan Wis-noski, and Damien Baxter; Pee Wee B Team - Noah Chavez, Christian Colca, Cordell Collins, Xavier Dow, Sage Duerr, Mat-thew Manis, Landen Muel-ler, Isaac Perez, Camron Richard, Nicholas Rogal-ski, Joseph Siarski, Coo-per Smith, and Andrew Tamborello; Minor Team – Joshua Cruz, Jonah Era-
zo, Joseph Jackson, Sam-uel Krauser, Jesse Lara, Richard Manthey, Joshua Olivo, Nicholas Partida, Carson Payne, Jake Story, Ronin Turner and Zachary Villarreal; Major Team - Seth Eifert, Xavier Garza, Daniel Gerlach, Jose Gon-zales, Joshua Gonzalez, Jacob Granados, Cameron Herrera, Grant Langfeld, Paul Martinez, Jake Mes-sina, Hayden Payne, Nel-lie Pena, Caleb Richard-son, Keith Stucey, III, and Jeremy Wilson.
During the storms and flooding last week, many of our neighbors stepped out to help others in need. In the midst of a shocking di-saster, our good neighbors made a difference for many. Justin Gordon and Harry Millirons (a/k/a Harry The Texas Flag Curbpainter) went out in Justin’s truck picking up stranded neighbors and driving them home through flooded streets, pulling vehi-cles to safety, and they even rescued our own Fire Station No. 13’s big red fire engine when it stalled in flood waters. The next day, Gordon, owner of area Justin Gordon Homes and also the gentleman who donated the labor and materi-als to beautify Ella Blvd’s es-planades (which he adopted) a few years ago, learned the bull rocks his crew placed around each esplanade had spilled over into the streets in the flood and had become an unsightly hazard. Gordon, along with a few of his crew and a few other neighbors, immediately began the heavy task of shoveling the rocks off the road and into the bed of his truck for removal. Just a few of the other neighbors out helping stranded folks the night of the Monday flood were Troy Johnson, Lyn-sey and Bob Flowers, and Ryan Romig, who stepped outside the safety of their dry homes and volunteered to rescue stranded neighbors to get them home safely. Warm-est thanks to you all and to the others in our community who stepped outside their comfort zone. Your kindness is absolutely epic.
