Business Loans Made Simple. Let’s Travel Together owner Melodye Martinelli, along with employees Rebecca Franz and Cheryl Wooten, provide a customized travel experience to their clients. (Photo by Michael Sudhalter)

World’s eye view By Michael Sudhalter michael@theleadernews.com

Meloyde Martinelli, who lives and owns a business in the North Houston community of Forest Lake, planned on taking a 6-month break from the telecommunications industry to travel the world when she was 45. Those six months turned into seven years, and Martinelli visited 62 countries over that span. When she returned to the Houston area, Martinelli wanted people in the Greater Houston area to have a similar and enjoyable experience. In 2001, Internet travel sites

were beginning to become popular and many in the travel business were closing their doors. Martinelli did the opposite, with a plan to customize her clients’ travel in a way that the Internet or automated phone systems couldn’t do. Martinelli, who owns and manages Let’s Travel Together, works alongside employees Rebecca Franz and Cheryl Wooten, on the largest and smallest details of travel to make sure clients enjoy their trips. They serve everyone from luxury clients to individuals who backpack through their visits.

When Business Is On The Line

Let’s Travel Together is the only Houston travel company certified in Australia and New Zealand, and a third of the company’s business comes from those two countries. To qualify as being certified in Australia, travel planners are required to meet specific criteria, which includes visiting Australia once a year. Although the travel industry has changed significantly over the past 20 years, Martinelli is confident that there will always be a market for travel planners who work hard and focus on customized vacations.

Resident opens Re-sale shop By Michael Sudhalter michael@theleadernews.com

Heights resident Yvon Santos is excited about her new business, Second to Last Thrift at 1503 W. 18th St. in Shady Acres. “I own a janitorial and facilities maintenance business and was ready for a change,” Santos said. “I saw the need for a resale shop in Shady Acres and the west Heights. We sell buy, and do consignment of high end bags and shoes. We accept donations of slightly used clothes, shoes, jewelry, art or small collectibles.” Santos, who moved to the Heights from New York in 2007, worked in the garment industry as a teenager and understood the potential for a quality re-sale shop. The store opened last month and currently has four

employees. She plans to expand to eight to 10 employees in the near future. Santos said a portion of the sales will go toward SNAP, an animal spay and neuter program. She plans on hosting a grand opening soon as well. The store hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Satur-

day, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Monday. Santos said she chose the Heights because of its charm when she relocated to Texas. “I love the old homes, the neighborhood, and the relaxing and artistic feeling and the friendliness of people,” she said.

Video game culture store coming to the Heights By Michael Sudhalter michael@theleadernews.com

Video game enthusiasts in the Heights area have a variety of locations where they can purchase games. But they’ll get a chance to enjoy the video game culture with the opening of Insomnia Video Game Culture & Vinyl Toys, 729 W. 19th St., on Saturday. “We sell everything but the games,” said owner Chris Unclebach. “We have gift shop type of things and Japanese culture items, including snacks.” They sell many T-Shirts associated with popular video games. Insomnia was located on FM 1960 for three years, but Unclebach decided mov-

ing to the Heights would be good for business. He previously worked at Vinal Edge Records, and its owner Chuck Roast, who’s previous location was on FM 1960, encouraged him to move into the Heights. “Chuck talked about how good business was over here and that he wished he moved many years earlier,” Unclebach said. Insomnia hosts video game tournaments on most Saturdays, but not this Saturday, since it’ll be the ﬁrst day the store’s open in its new location. Unclebach said Insomnia plans on hosting a grand opening celebration in April.

Video game enthusiasts are ready for the Heights opening of Insomnia Video Game Culture & Vinyl Toys, 729 W. 19th St.

Heights natives expand Koko FitClub franchises Denson Health & Fitness, headquartered in the Heights, owns Koko FitClubs in the Greater Houston area, including the Heights location at 189 Heights Blvd in the Washington Heights Center. Building on the momentum of Houston’s hot franchise market, John and Marisol Denson formed Denson Health & Fitness in late 2012, and were later joined by John’s brother, Travis Denson. They invested in Koko FitClubs because of the streamlined and simplified retail model the franchise offered and its mission to simplify the way the world gets, and stays, healthy. Over the last 18 months, Denson Health & Fitness has opened six Koko FitClubs in Katy (two clubs), The Woodlands, Champions, Cypress and the Heights. “Through Koko FitClub, we are changing lives in a positive way. Within weeks, our members are stronger, fitter and slimmer, and they look and feel better,” said John Denson. “It even works for my father, long-time Heights resident Russell Denson! You can find him most late afternoons at the 189 Heights Blvd location.” Koko FitClub is a leader of the digital fitness revolution. Koko’s patented Smartraining™ system uses advanced digital technologies to offer a completely new fitness experience that provides the benefits of a traditional 90-minute workout in 45 minutes or less.

In short, B-Corps are to sustainability as Fair Trade is to coffee. New Living has decided to make the transition to meet the needs of the community for sustainable and healthy home furniture. They are currently the only local business creating healthier living environments for

The new storefront will be friendlier for 19th St. foot trafﬁc because it will carry smaller home furnishing items such as healthy bedding essentials, sustainable nursery needs and clean air and water ﬁltration systems (in addition to organic mattresses and paint products from The Green Painter).

Neighbors: The Oaks Business Association held its inaugural mixer By Elizabeth Villareal elizasgarden@outlook.com

Entrepreneur and small business owner neighbors from Oak Forest, Garden Oaks, Lazybrook, Shepherd Park Plaza, Timbergrove, Candlelight Estates and surrounding neighborhoods enjoyed spirits, divine gourmet treats and lively conversation at Plonk Beer & Wine Bistro last week during the inaugural mixer for the newly created Oaks Business Association. Just a few of the neighbors present at the well attended gathering were David Lorms, Courtney Patel, Sue Schmidt, Susan Kostelecky, Jeanette Black, Brett Harris, Ginny Ledwell, Patrick Murphy, Willie Diefenbach, Glenda Clerc, Clint Croley, Greg Green, Mary Margaret Carroll, Mark Malisheski, Justin Gordon, Nora Loera,

Jonathan Brown, Christina Logan, Shari Perez, Jane Hawthorne, Greg Ryden, Leah Andrade, Chris Hotze, Jason Kimball, Jennifer Wood, Seth Higgins, Patsy Bushart, Harry The Texas Flag Curb Painter, Kalynn Evans, Patricia Evans Bomar, Scott Miller and Shawn Salyers and yours truly. Everywhere one turned there was excellent conversation and someone with whom you wanted to speak. It was a brilliant ﬁrst gathering. Let the networking begin! Waltrip’s Director of Bands Jesse Espinosa would like to share results from the recent UIL Solo and Ensemble Contest held Saturday, Feb. 22, at Bellaire High School. “There were a number of breakthrough performances from all of our students, which included a few 1st year instru-

mentalists. Based on the UIL rating system, a 1st Division is a Superior Performance, 2nd Division is an Excellent Performance, 3rd Division is a Good Performance, 4th Division is a Fair Performance and a 5th Division is a Poor Performance. Saturday’s results produced nothing less than a 3rd Division rating for our Ram Band students. Overall Results: 29 – 1st Division, Superior Ratings; 19 – 2nd Division, Excellent Ratings; and 7 – 3rd Division, Good Ratings. Of the 29 1st Division, Superior Ratings, 12 Soloists and 5 Ensembles have earned the certiﬁcation to advance to the State Solo and Ensemble Contest, which will be held at the University of Texas-Austin during Memorial Day weekend.

by Molly Sue McGillicutty With spring break upon us and summer vacation looming on the horizon, your children might be looking for things to do to stay busy. If you’ve got animal lovers in your home, you might encourage your kids to do something fun AND charitable to help animals in need. From large-scale to small-scale, there’s something that children of all ages can do to make a difference in the lives of animals in need. Volunteer together: Each animal shelter has different age requirements for their volunteers, but most shelters would welcome calm, well-behaved children (accompanied by a parent or guardian) to come by and help socialize the animals there. Knowing if an animal is comfortable around children is an invaluable piece of information for a shelter. Spending time with children in the shelter can also greatly increase a pet’s chances of being adopted — the extra socialization that your child can give a shelter pet is much-appreciated. Party with a heart: For your child’s next birthday party, choose an animal-theme. Check into bringing the guests along to a shelter for a tour and then ask guests to bring donations or supplies to donate to a shelter, in lieu of gifts. Find a penny, pick it up: if your kids are like the kids who live in my house, finding a penny on the ground is comparable to winning the lottery. Also, asking for donations of pennies seems less daunting than being asked to whip out your checkbook. Encourage your child to host a “penny drive” by collecting pennies, rolling them and cashing them in to donate to a shelter or animal rescue group. A little bit goes a long way to help animals in need. Sell some goodies or get crafty: Take advantage of the warmer weather and encourage

your child to host a bake sale or lemonade stand, with proceeds beneﬁting a shelter or rescue group. Also fun is to make no-sew ﬂeece blankets and cat toys for shelter pets. The act of earning money then donating to a good cause is character-building at its best! Park clean up: A simple way to help pets is to show up at your local park or dog park--plastic bags and gloves in hand--and clean up. Making the park look nice increases the quality of life for pets and their owners. Seeing the park so tidy might also encourage other people to maintain the beauty. Get the school involved: Encourage your child to discuss his love for animals with his teachers and librarians. See if they would be willing to help the whole class to learn more about helping animals in need, by reading books about animals to the class or promoting a class project to help a shelter or rescue group. Education is key to helping animals in the long-term.

THE SPORTS. A new game in town Saturday, March 1, 2014 • Page 7B

Pius boys competing for state title The St. Pius X boys basketball team is the last Leader area basketball team still standing. “It’s going to be tough to win state, but when the season started, we weren’t even in the Top 25,” SPX first-year head coach Russell Carr said. “We just kind of beat the odds.” The two-time defending district champion Panthers (23-10) will play Plano John Paul II at 9 p.m. Friday in the TAPPS 5A state semifinals in Mansfield. The winner advances to the 5A state championship game at 7 p.m. Saturday in Mansfield to play El Paso Cathedral or Plano Prestonwood Christian. SPX’s last trip to the state semifinals came in 2007, which was the last time it won a state crown. Carr, however, is familiar with the state semifinals. This is his 14th consecutive trip after leading the Westbury Christian boys and girls basketball teams to the 4A and 3A state semifinals over the past 13 seasons. He won a total of four state titles at WCS – three with the boys team and one with the girls squad. Last weekend, the Panthers opened the postseason with a 55-33 win over Laredo St. Augustine and then edged Addison Trinity Christian, 45-41, in the state quarterfinals. Trinity Christian is the school that defeated SPX, 2827, in the opening round of the football playoffs last fall. Tusa to be inducted into Texas High School Football Hall of Fame One of Houston Independent School District’s big-

gest sports legends will be inducted into the Texas High School Football Hall of Fame this spring. The induction ceremony will be held on Saturday, May 3 at the Texas Sports Hall of Fame, on the campus of Baylor University, in Waco. Timbergrove resident Joe Tusa, 86, graduated from Reagan High and went on to coach many sports at his alma mater, most notably football. “It’s a tremendous honor,” Tusa said. “One of my ex-football players has gone to bat for me again. To be included with the people who are in the Hall of Fame. I never dreamed of it, and I’m very humbled by the whole thing.” He became an assistant principal at Waltrip High when that school opened in the fall of 1960. Tusa was the HISD athletic director from 1965 to 1989 and oversaw the athletic department through integration and Title IX. In the fall of 2012, HISD renamed Delmar Stadium and Fieldhouse as Delmar-Tusa. During halftime of a Reagan-Waltrip football game, the district honored Tusa and presented him a plaque. LHN girls soccer earns a victory The Lutheran High North girls soccer program, which didn’t ﬁeld a team last season, won its ﬁrst game in two years last week. The Lady Lions defeated district rival, Emery-Weiner, 1-0. Kennedy Conlee scored the winning goal, and Brianna Bakenhus recorded the shutout.

There’s a new game at Frank Black Middle School, and it’s drawing plenty of excitement. The school added boys and girls lacrosse teams, which gives FBMS the most comprehensive middle school athletics program in Houston ISD with 12 teams. The boys have played ﬁve games, and the girls will begin playing in late March/early April. “They’ve shown a lot of heart, a lot of hustle,” Panthers coach Tim Weltin said. “They’ve shown remarkable improvement.” Weltin, a Garden Oaks resident who serves as the school’s Parent Involvement Coordinator, contacted United States Lacrosse about obtaining a grant for the team’s equipment. The cost of lacrosse equipment, per player, is $300 for

the boys team and $100 for the girls. Boys lacrosse involves more contact, thus requires more protective equipment. The team’s assistant coach is John Gaipa, a Math teacher at the school. Lacrosse, traditionally popular along the Eastern seaboard, is North America’s fastest growing sport. It parallels the growth of FBMS, which has grown from 480 students in 2011 to 840 currently. The school expects to have 950 students in 201415. FBMS is one of three HISD middle schools to ﬁeld a lacrosse team, along with Pershing and Pin Oak. They function as a club team and play squads from around the Greater Houston area. Last season, FBMS had a practice squad with 12 players, but they didn’t have any games. Eight of the current 22 players honed their skills on the practice squad last sea-

son, including Nicholas Perez, a seventh grader who plays goalkeeper. Perez said he loves the adrenaline of playing goalkeeper, and he saved 50 percent of the shots on goal in a loss against the Pearland Railcats last Sunday. Sixth grader George Fields said he wanted to play lacrosse because it was something different. “I usually play baseball or basketball, but the way it’s set up, I like it a lot,” Fields said. “On defense, our team is im-

proving more than anything.” Eighth grader Justin Medina joined the team to stay in shape for football. He’s enjoyed it beyond the conditioning aspect.
