The restaurants listed below
were inspected Aug. 27 through
Tuesday by the Brazos County
Health Department. The infor
mation is based on food service
establishment reports.
SCORED BETWEEN 90 AND
95:
• Wing Joint at 315 W. Uni
versity Drive in College Station
was inspected by David Pickens.
Score — 94. The report cited a
four-point violation for an un
protected outer opening and a
two-point violation for an inade
quate self-closing door.
SCORED BETWEEN 85 AND
90:
• Sticky Chins at 305 Univer
sity in College Station was in
spected by David Pickens. Score
— 88. A four-point violation was
cited in the report for an inacces
sible preparation room hand
sink. Another four points were
subtracted from the report be
cause some storage room vents
weren’t covered with fly proof
screening. A two-point deduction
was made in the report for a hand
sink blocked by an electrical cord
and a ladies room garbage can
that needed a lid.
Another two points were de
ducted from the report because a
wax paper cup was being used as
an ice scoop.
• The Fajita Grille in Post
Oak Mall in College Station was
inspected by Mike Lester. Score
— 86. A five-point violation was
made in the report because a hot
water heater wasn’t working. The
report said the heater would have
to be repaired within 24 hours.
Two two-point violations were
cited in the report for some
chicken being thawed in standing
water, some food items being
stored on a walk-in cooler floor,
and some uncovered food items
in a cooler. Five one-point viola
tions were cited in the report for
the following: a filthy walk-in
freezer needed cleaning; a walk-
in cooler was missing a floor
drain grate; a stand-up reach-in
cooler needed cleaning; a walk-in
freezer floor needed cleaning
some walls needed repairing
some lights were unshielded
some grill area equipment
needed cleaning.
David Jefferson, a registered sanitarian at the department, says res
taurants with scores of 95 or above generally have excellent operations
and facilities. Jefferson says restaurants with scores in the 70s or low 80s
usually have serious violations on the health report.
Scores can be misleading, Jefferson says, because restaurants can
achieve the same score by having several major violations or an abun
dance of minor violations. He says the major violations might close the
restaurant down while some minor violations can be corrected during
the inspection.
Jefferson says the department might close a restaurant if: the score
is below 60, the personnel has infectious diseases, the restaurant lacks
adequate refrigeration, a sewage backup exists in the building, the res
taurant has a complete lack of sanitization for the food equipment.
Point deductions, or violations, on the report range from one point
(minor violation) to five points (major violation). The department in
spects each restaurant about every six months.
Sometimes a follow-up inspection must be made, usually within 10
days. Jefferson says a restaurant might require a follow-up inspection if
it has a four- or five-point violation that cannot be corrected while the
inspector is still there, or there are numerous small violations.
Inspectors at the department are registered sanitarians.
Lawmaker
wants to
retire HB72
AUSTIN (AP) — It’s been done
for Babe Ruth and Willie Mays.
Now, a lawmaker wants to do it for
the Texas public school reform act
of 1984.
State Rep. Lena Guerrero is push
ing a resolution that would retire
HB72 — the number of Texas’ his
toric education bill — from the list of
numbers that could be assigned to
legislation.
“It is fair to assume that any mea
sure labeled House Bill 72 and con
sidered by the Legislature in the
near future would gain undeserved
notoriety, resulting in unnecessary
confusion for members and the pub
lic alike,” Guerrero said in her reso
lution.
HB72, which made sweeping
changes in education — including
adding the no-pass, no-play rule —
may be the only bill in Texas history
that became known by its number.
Most other landmark bills either
take the name of their subject or
sponsors. The previous landmark
public education bill in Texas was
known as Gilmer-Aikin, named for
its sponsors.
The numerical designation stuck
even after Gov. Mark White tried to
brand the bill as “The Educational
Opportunity Act of 1984.”
Guerrero, D-Austin, pointed out
in her resolution that the 1984 bill is
“almost universally” known as
HB72.
Her proposal would instruct the
House clerk to “refrain from assign
ing the number 72 to any bill intro
duced in this House . . . until this
House determines that the name
‘House Bill 72’ is no longer widely
associated” with the education bill.
The resolution did not get a com
mittee hearing in the special session
that ended Thursday, but Guerrero
said she would reintroduce it in the
special session beginning next week.
Expert says OPEC cuts will lead to stability
DALLAS (AP) — OPEC’s recent
move to cut the surplus on the world
oil market should lead to a perma
nent agreement reflecting more sta
bility, an OPEC official said Thurs
day.
Alirio A. Parra, Venezuela’s rep
resentative to the Organization of
Petroleum Exporting Countries,
said the oil cartel’s decision to return
for two months to a daily production
ceiling of 16 million barrels is not a
basic change in policy.
high for its production ceiling, he
said.
OPEC considers 16 million barrels
per day too low and 20 million too
OPEC’s success on its latest strat
egy will depend in part on voluntary
participation of those producer-ex
porters that are not members of the
organization, he said.

Our stereotypes of senior adults (and retire
ment housing) are fading. Thank goodness.

are still busy, active and alive.

And they want a carefree environment that
supports independent living in a safe, secure
surrounding without daily drudgery.
