ISCORED BETWEEN 85 AND
190:
Emilio’s Sandwich City at
1500 Harvey Road was inspected
Shy Mike Lester. Score — 89. Six
. points were subtracted from the
Ireport because soda dispenser
nozzles needed cleaning, a dough
machine was dirty and a restroom
/needed a self-closing door and a
covered wastebasket. Five more
?points were deducted from the
report for minor violations.
David Jefferson, a registered sanitarian at the department, says res
taurants with scores of 95 or above generally have excellent operations
and facilities. He 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-
folations. He says the major violations can be corrected during the in
spection. Point deductions, or violations, in the report range from one
point (minor violation) to five points (major violation).
Jefferson says the department might close a restaurant if: the score
is below 60, the personnel have infectious diseases, the restaurant lacks
adequate refrigeration, a sewage backup is in the building, the restau
rant has a complete lack of sanitization for the food equipment.
The department inspects each restaurant every six months. Jeffer
son says a follow-up inspection is sometimes required if a restaurant has
a four- or five-point violation that cannot be corrected during the in-
Wspection, or if there are numerous small violations,
m Inspectors at the department are registered sanitarians.
DoubleDave’s Pizzaworks at
326 Jersey was inspected by Da
vid Pickens. Score — 88. A five-
point violation was cited in the re

Malfunctions
of incubator
harm eggs
HOUSTON (AP) — A malfunc
tioning incubator damaged ferti
lized, inseminated eggs of three cou
ples who had hoped to conceive a
child through in vitro fertilization, a
doctor said.
The procedure, popularly known
as the test-tube-baby technique, in
volves fertilizing the mother’s egg
with the father’s sperm in a labo
ratory dish. The fertilized egg devel
ops until it can be safely transferred
to the womb.
The malfunctioning incubator
was discovered Jan. 30 in a labo
ratory at St. Luke’s Episcopal Hospi
tal, said Dr. William Gibbons, direc
tor of the program at the Baylor
College of Medicine.
Lab personnel found the incuba
tor’s temperature to have reached
dangerous levels during the night,
Gibbons said.
By the time the temperature had
risen from the normal 98.6 degrees
Fahrenheit to a toxic 140 degrees,
some fertilized eggs had developed
to the embryo stage, Gibbons said.
“As a result, we were not going to
transfer any of these potentially
harmed embryos,” Gibbons said.
Gibbons said the incident upset
the families, but they took it better
than he did. Most couples taking
part in such programs have experi
enced years of infertility.
Another procedure in which eggs
and sperm are induced directly into
the Fallopian tubes may offer an
other chance at conceiving for some
couples, Gibbons said.
Two aircraft
barely avoid
mid-air crash
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Federal
investigators were trying to deter
mine Wednesday why an Eastern
Airlines DC-9 passenger plane and a
radio station traffic helicopter came
within 100 feet of each other at San
Antonio International Airport.
The incident occurred as Eastern
Flight 147 from Baltimore and At
lanta came in for a landing Tuesday
afternoon, said Mike Hodges, area
supervisor for the Federal Aviation
Administration.
Hodges confirmed the two air
craft were less than 100 feet apart
during the landing, but said, “There
is no prescribed separation of air
craft (in this situation).
“As long as you do not touch, it’s
considered all right.”
The DC-9 pilot spotted the heli
copter when it was 100 feet ahead
and to his left and made one turn to
his right, then back to the left,
Hodges said.
The plane then landed normally,
Hodges said.
