To the naked eye, it’s just noisy construction that could lead to more traffic headaches and increased foot traffic. Which could be a good or bad thing depending on your perspective. But since I started in this industry a little more than seven years ago, I’ve gotten to inter view many restaurant and shop owners, or those hoping to break into the market with their own independent idea. And I learned – tangibly – that they were no different than any of us. They had a dream, and a desire to make it come to fruition.
And ever since then, I’ve made it my mission to learn everything about where new small or independently-owned businesses come from –how the dream started, the obstacles they have encountered along the way, etc. Whether it be standard business-related issues or starting dur ing the pandemic – which is whole story in and of itself – there is always a story behind each and every one of them.
So as you read each of the stories inside this month’s edition of the Fort Bend Business Jour nal, take a moment to consider not just the news itself, but think of the history of the business –where they came from, how they got started, where they want to go in the future.

I’ll admit it – until I started working in the news industry, I never really batted an eyelash when a new business popped up. And why would the average person do so?
I can promise you, you will come away with a greater appreciation for these businesses, and come to know them not just as that big noisy construction project you hear at 7 a.m. every day, but as the culmination of a dream for someone not so different from you and me.

Are there any negative effects of not correcting a hearing loss?
ASK THE EXPERT
It’s best to visit your doctor annually—even when you feel great! In fact, regular wellness checkups can help you stay healthy longer by keeping you on track with vaccina�ons and screenings for medical condi�ons. Plus, seeing your doctor regularly allows you both to get to know one another, which is helpful if you do become ill. Legacy geriatricians specialize in comprehensive health and wellness care for seniors. You’ll feel right at home when you visit Legacy Stafford Fountains, our new, fully accessible senior health center. Our goal is to help you live your healthiest, fullest life.

Yes, unfortunately there are serious side effects of not treating a hearing loss. A study by Dr. Frank Lin at Johns Hopkins Medical Center found that one of the negative effects of untreated hearing loss is an increase in the likelihood of developing dementia by 200-500%. The longer you delay treating a hearing loss the more you are depriving your brain of auditory stimulation. This is referred to as auditory deprivation. If the brain is having to process the auditory signal using visual cues and contextual cues this creates what Neuroscience refers to as a “Cognitive Overload.” This overload is what causes fatigue and increases the incidence of dementia. Hearing loss can be treated and the outcomes with the new hearing aid technology have proven very beneficial to helping people live healthy and independent lives. There is no need to leave a hearing loss untreated.
ASK THE EXPERT I’m over 60, and I feel great! Is it okay to skip my annual wellness exam?
Your vehicle has a paint code, which specifically identifies the color of your car. matching is not a problem if your vehicle is precisely the color specified by the paint code. In actual vehicle production, there is variability within many paint codes, frequently from paint lot to paint lot, or between factories. If your vehicle isn’t exactly the color specified by the factory, the first step in matching is called tinting, varying the relative amounts of the components in the formula.

An update has been added to the guidelines for the emergency management of migraine headaches. Research supports the use of three medications for migraine relief when administered in an emegency. Intravenous metoclopramide, intravenous prochloperazine, and subcutaneous sumatriptan help treat the pain of the headache. A medication that is administered intravenously means that it is injected into the vein. A subcutaneous medication is injected in the layer of fat under the skin. Injectable medications are often given in an emergency situation because they work faster. Metoclopramide (Reglan) is sometimes used to help reduce the feelings of nausea and vomiting. It does have a boxed warning from the FDA stating that taking too much may lead to a permanent movement disorder. Prochloperazine (Compazine) is used to treat disorders of the brain. Common side effects include sleep-iness and dizziness. Sumatriptan (Imitrex) is available in a pre-filled device that can be delivered with or without a needle.
Sometimes, a perfect match can’t be obtained by tinting alone. the last little bit of variance is made invisible to the human eye by blending which is painting portions of the vehicle adjacent to the repaired areas so the color changes unnoticeably. This can make the difference between a very good match and a completely invisible repair. Matching paint requires a high level of skill and sometimes a great deal of patience. Be sure you select a repair facility that will take the time to produce a match in the perfect range and will not be satisfied with merely good results.

• Possible tax benefits – If you invest in a 529 education savings plan, your earnings can grow federally income tax-free, provided the money is used for qualified education expenses. (Withdrawals not used for these expenses will generally incur taxes and penalties on investment earnings.)
• Flexibility in naming the beneficiary – As the owner of the 529 plan, you can name anyone you want as the beneficiary. You can also change the registered with the U.S. Department of Labor.•Payment of student loans – A 529 plan can help pay off federal or private student loans, within limits. Keep in mind that state-by-state tax treatment varies for different uses of 529 plans, so you’ll want to consult with your tax professional before putting a plan in place. Despite these and other benefits, 529 plans are greatly under-utilized. Only about 40% of Americans even recognize the 529 plan as an education savings tool, and only 13% are actually using it, again according to the Edward But as the cost of college and other postsecondary programs continues to rise, it will become even more important for parents to find effective ways to save for their children’s future education expenses. So, consider how a 529 plan can help you and your family. And the sooner you get
In just a few weeks, students will be heading off to college – and parents will be getting out their checkbooks. Without a college-bound student in your home right now, you might not be thinking much about tuition and other higher education expenses, but if you have young children, these costs may eventually be of concern – so how should you prepare for them?It’s never too soon to start saving and investing. Unfortunately, many people think that they have a lot of “catching up” to do. In fact, nearly half of Americans say they don’t feel like they’re saving enough to cover future education expenses, according to a 2022 survey conducted by financial services firm Edward Jones with Morning Consult, a global research company.Ofcourse, it’s not always easy to set aside money for college when you’re already dealing with the high cost of living, and, at the same time, trying to save and invest for retirement. Still, even if you can only devote relatively modest amounts for your children’s education, these contributions can add up over time. But where should you put your money? Personal savings accounts are the top vehicle Americans are using for their education funding strategies, according to the Edward Jones/Morning Consult survey. But there are other options, one of which is a 529 plan, which may offer more attractive features, including the following:
If you invest in your own state’s 529 plan, you may receive state tax benefits, too, depending on the state.

It was in that vein that he and wife began Bio Home Health Services, Inc. at 830 Julie Rivers Dr. Suite 601 in Sugar Land two decades ago, and that has since spawned additional care services that are geared towards helping serve the county’s elderly population. “I am extremely big on service. That is my calling,” he said. “I would like to serve not only the physical, but the spiritual wellbeing of the people I encounter – not only the young, but I thought the elderly would need the same kind of service. That is a big part of what we do, is to serve others and serve the community.” Bio Home Health Services was established in March 2006 as an agency that serves elderly home-bound patients in Fort Bend, Harris, and other counties. The goal is to get patients well so that they can go back to their community and enjoy life with family and friends. Almost a decade later, Pax Et Vita Home Care, LLC was started. This service provides private caregiving services to patients needing assistance with everyday tasks such as grooming and hygiene, meal preparation, transportation, and more.
Then, a little over a year ago came the Pax Et Vita Hospice Agency in January 2021, which STORY BY LANDAN KUHLMANN

provides physical, emotional, social, and spiritual support to patients with a life-limiting progressive illness to help the patient and their family/caregiver develop effective coping mechanisms while providing an atmosphere of comfort and compassion. The three companies provide a gamut of care that is crucial to elderly patients and their loved ones. “We have a growing elderly population, and with that a lot of their children are at a loss because they don’t really know what to do with their parents once they get sick, we saw the need years ago, and just thought we could help the community –especially the elderly.” “It is through the hands of our dedicated nurses, therapists, social workers, caregivers, and chaplains that actualize our very mission to serve with excellence and compassion,” Deacon Charlie said. Integrity and honesty are central to their mission at Bio Home Health Services and Pax Et Vita Hospice and Home Care. He said “We are expected to be trusted in the services we provide, and our services to patients should not be motivated by financial gain alone. Good profit should be the outcome of our excellent work.”Driven by a quote from Aristotle, Deacon Charlie emphasized, “We are what we repeatedly do, Excellence is not an act but a habit.” That is the philosophy that molds the very essence of the services they provide to the patients and their families. Excellent quality service will always draw appeal to those seeking help for their parents or other loved ones.“Patients or clients who are happy with our services will come back to us, they will spread how good we are and most importantly they will feel that they are served well and cared for and loved,” he said. “It is always part of our communication practices that we open our ears and hearts to them. We listen to our patients. We want to know their needs and concerns, and then be able to help them.”

The Fulshear location will have more than 5,000 square feet of dining space along with a 1,385-square-foot patio area.“We’re so excited to finally bring Or leans to Fulshear and open our doors to this community that has already been so welcoming to us,” Comstock said.
The menu at the Fulshear restaurant will largely be the same, according to the release, with staples such as Seafood Gumbo, Etoufée, Po-Boys, Char-Grilled Oysters, and Boiled Crawfish when in season.However, the release said the Fuls hear restaurant will have an expanded bar menu that includes a more robust spirits and wine selection. “When we opened in Katy over 13 years ago, we never thought about a second location - to be here now makes us incredibly thankful.” Payavla said. “We wouldn’t be here without the support of our loyal customers and can’t wait to introduce our food to our new Fulshear neighbors.”

A popular Katy restaurant is reloca tion to the northeast portion of Fort Bend County this fall. Local Table announced Aug. 26 that is it moving to 24033 Cinco Ranch Blvd. located outside the La Centerra shop ping center. Construction is underway in the 14,500 square foot building that will soon house their flagship restaurant and the first Local Table and Local Bar combo, according to a news release from the res taurant.Customers can expect a variety of gluten free and vegetarian dishes at the new Cinco Ranch location like the Texas Caviar Salad, Honey Ginger-Roasted Brus sels Sprouts Salad and the Local Farmers Market Salad, a variety of wood stone piz zas, and more according to the release. The new Cinco Ranch location will be able to house about 60 guests, according to the release. The family owned and op erated restaurant group first introduced the concept in Cinco Ranch in April 2016, and also has a Fulshear location. “It was important for us to take a step back to evaluate what’s most important to us,” said brothers Neima and Shervin Sharifi, co-owners of Local Table. “As we began to prioritize, we realized we wouldn’t be where we are today without the support of our Cinco Ranch neigh bors. They’ve really laid the foundation for us to create a fresh and sustainable brand.”
