Restaurant Report
By Mike Sullivan
Staff Writer
The restaurants listed below
were inspected Nov. 18 through
Tuesday by the Brazos County
Health Department. The infor
mation is based on food service
establishment reports.
SCORED BETWEEN 95 AND
100:
The Fajita Grille at 1500 Har
vey Rd. in College Station was in
spected by Mike Lester. Score —
95. Two points were subtracted in
the report because some paper
towels were needed at a hand
sink. Three one-point violations
were cited in the report because
some clean utensils were being
stored improperly, there was
some type of leakage on a grill
floor area, some cabinets in a grill
area were not cleaned or properly
sealed and a walk-in cooler
needed cleaning.
SCORED BETWEEN 90 AND
95:
Archie’s 390 Hamburgers at
310 N. Texas in Bryan was in
spected by David Pickens. Score
— 93. Three two-point violations
were cited in the report because
there was some food on a walk-in
cooler floor, a . three-compart
ment sink was not being operated
properly and there was no soap in
a men’s bathroom. One point was
deducted in the report because a
plastic utensil bag was left untied
and some single-service items
were left on a floor.
SCORED BETWEEN 85 AND
90:
Chinese Fast Food at 805 Well
born Rd. in College Station was
inspected by David Pickens. Score
— 88. Four points were sub
tracted in the report because of a
lack of sanitization in the build
ing. Two points were deducted in
the report because there was
some food, including rice, cab
bage and meats, left uncovered in
a walk-in cooler.
A total of four points were sub
tracted in the report because the
wash and rinse cycles of a dish
washer were not being operated.
Two one-point violations were
cited in the report because some
floor arfeas under some ovens and
grills needed cleaning and there
were some single-service items
left on a floor. The report said
the restaurant had 10 days to cor
rect the problems.
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 in the health report.
Scores can be misleading, Jefferson says, because restaurants can
get the same score by having several minor violations or a few major vi
olations. He says the major violations can be cause for closing a restau
rant while many minor violations can be corrected during the inspec
tion. Point deductions, or violations, in the report range from one point
(minor violation) to live points (major violation).
Jefferson says the department might close a restaurant if: the score
is below 60, the personnel has infectious diseases, the restaurant lacks
adequate refrigeration, there is a sewage backup in the building, the
restaurant has a complete lack of sanitization for the food equipment.
The department inspects each restaurant about every six months.
Jefferson says a follow-up inspection is sometimes required if a restau
rant has a four- or five-point violation that cannot be corrected during
the inspection, or if there are numerous small violations.
Inspectors at the department are registered sanitarians.
Search committee
narrows choices
for UH chancellor
HOUSTON (AP) — Five aca
demic leaders are finalists for the job
of University of Houston system
chancellor, two newspapers re
ported.
Texas’ higher education commis
sioner, a University of Houston
dean, Texas A&M University’s presi
dent and two out-of-state academic
officials are finalists for the vacant
UH system chancellor’s job, accord
ing to the Houston Chronicle and
the Houston Post.
Texas Commissioner of Higlier
Education Kenneth Ashworth and
UH Law School Dean Robert
Knauss confirmed Wednesday they
had talked to the UH search com
mittee about the position.
Vanderbilt University Provost
Charles A. Kiesler declined to com
ment.
But A&M President Frank E.
Vandiver said, “That’s news to me,”
about reports he is a finalist.
Vandiver said he has not heard
from the search committee.
The fifth candidate, Penn State
University Engineering Dean Wil
bur L. Meier Jr., was away from his
office Wednesday and did not re
turn telephone calls made by The
Associated Press.
The 18-member search commit
tee narrowed the list of candidates
from 152 to the five, an unnamed
source told the Chronicle on Tues
day.
The search began in September
after Charles E. Bishop resigned to
accept a research and teaching posi
tion with the University of North
Carolina.
Bishop, who led the university for
six years, was paid $139,200 a year
as top executive of the four-campus
system.
UH spokeswoman Karen Walker
refused to confirm the names of the
finalists.
“We are protecting the confiden
tiality of the search,” she said.
Ashworth said he will be inter
viewed by the UH search committee
within the next 10 days.
“They expressed interest in me,
and we are exploring whether
there’s sufficient mutual interest to
go further with it,” Ashworth said.
“The UH situation is such a posi
tive situation, compared to being the
naysayer in the job I have now,” he
said.
Delegates to
Farm Bureau
vote for RAC
Group, Job Corps to restore
nine trolley cars in El Paso
EL PASO (AP) — A volunteer
group has struck an agreement with
n AiijSthe local Job Corps to restore his-
m-Jtoric trolley cars, once part of an in-
a jjo r i | ternational transport system linking
j Sutfl Ms border city and next-door Ciu-
] iffliy dad Juarez, Mexico.
auereB NiflC trolley cars, which were
uonBgatherjngidust and rust in an old city
diuufl storage barn for 13 years, were
■ leased to the Paso Del Norte Street-
qchiiBcar Preservation Society, Cockie Ma-
Jljpula, secretary and one of the
™founders of the society, said.
A partnership between the society
and the El Paso Job Corps Center,
which was agreed upon Tuesday,
calls initially for the restoration of at
least three of (he cars. Next March,
the society will haul the cars to the
Job Corps center, where some of the
450 young people learning trade
skills will have a chance to work on
them.
“We’ll help with the materials,
which we hope will be donated,” Ma-
pula said. “Some of our people had
been working on them, but it was
hard because these are people who
have full-time jobs.”
El Paso’s trolley system began in
1880 with mule-drawn cars taking
passengers between El Paso and Jua
rez over the Rio Grande on the Paso
del Norte Bridge.
A new batch of cars, operated by
overhead electrical cables, arrived in
El Paso in 1937 from San Diego. The
privately-owned service continued
until 1973, when Juarez merchants
complained that the cars were taking
shoppers away from them and into
El Paso, Mapula said.
The city ran the system for an
other year then put it out of commis
sion. The one-year-old non-profit
society of about 50 members leased
the cars from the city last March.
The society pays $1,500 a month
rent to keep the cars on federal land,
where they are exposed to the el
ements, she said.
David Carrasco, director of the
Job Corps, said the partnership is an
exceptional learning opportunity for
his students.
“Not only that, but we like the
idea of serving the community,”
Carrasco said. “There’s a mystique in
a restoration project like this, in that
some say it can’t be done, and we are
looking forward to being part of a
great victory.”
The Preservation Society recently
purchased a 1902 car from a local
family, Mapulo said.
“What we’d like to do eventually is
restore service to south El Paso
Street,” she said. “If we could talk
Juarez into it, maybe have it going
across the river again.”
McALLEN (AP) — Delegates to
the 53rd annual convention of the
Texas Farm Bureau agreed
Wednesday to establish a political ac
tion committee after supporters ar
gued a PAC would turn their policy
manual into a fountain of legislative
reform.
The vote to form a PAC followed
passage of a series of resolutions
ranging from supporting the 1985
farm bill to raising the speed limit
and making English the official lan
guage of Texas.
Farm Bureau members also voted
for resolutions to keep Texas sales
tax exemptions for farmers and for
a national supply management pro
gram to control milk production.
Paul Hopper of Howard County,
in arguing for a PAC, said TFB poli
cies would mean little without the
power of a political action committee
speaking for the depressed farm in
dustry.
“Now we can be dynamic and in
fluential,” Hopper said.
Less than two dozen of the 1,150
delegates voted against the PAC’s
formation.
Kay Chandler of Falls County said
during the final day of the conven
tion,“Let’s go out with a unified
front. Let’s get behind it 100 percent
and show the rest of the people we
can get together and look after our
own interests and not ask someone
else to do it for us.”
Earlier in the day, U.S. Rep. Kika
de la Garza, an author of the 1985
Farm Bill, told delegates that the leg
islation is giving farmers the tools to
recover from the depression in agri
culture.
“Agriculture is going through a
very difficult situation, difficult but
not impossible,” de la Garza said.
“We may be on one knee but we’re
not on two,” he said. “We’re going to
make it. We’re going to get up.”
