Inmate hunt criticized TCLU calls for changes in prison practice AUSTIN (AP) — The legal di rector of the Texas Civil Liberties Union has criticized the state prison system for continuing to use “human bait” in a controver sial dog training program for the tracking animals. Prison Director James Ly- naugh on T uesday banned con tact between inmates and dogs at the end of exercises during which inmates leave scent trails to train the dogs to track escaped prison ers. Lynaugh agreed with a prison hoard subcommittee that the in mates need to be volunteers and have more protective equipment. Jim Harrington of the TCLU said Wednesday the subcommit tee’s recommendations are “an at tempt to whitewash a barbaric practice.” He said it would be less expen sive if prison officials go to proce dures used in other states, such as tennis balls with human scent. Harrington again called for the resignation of board Vice Chair man Jerry Hodge.

Ideas can include news stories, feature ideas and personality pro files of interesting people. The restaurants listed below were inspected by the Brazos County Health Department between August 20 and August 31. Information is from a food service establishment inspection report. SCORED BETWEEN 95 AND 100: TCBY Yogurt at 404 University Dr. Score — 97. Points were de ducted for personnel’s failure to wear hair restraints, unclean non food contact surfaces and original containers not properly labeled. It was a regularly scheduled inspection. SCORED BETWEEN 90 AND 94: Baja Yacht Club at 313 S. College Score — 93. Points were de ducted for improper storage of food-dispensing utensils, inadequate plumbing maintenance, unsatisfactory lighting provided, unclean food contact surfaces and lack of cleansers in the restrooms. It was a regularly scheduled inspection. New York Bagel Shop at 209 A University. Score — 93. Points were deducted for improper food protection during storage, im proper storage of foocl-dispensing utensils, toilet and handwashing facilities weren’t accessible (critical item requiring immediate atten tion). It was a regularly scheduled inspection. Whataburger at 105 Dominik. Score — 92. Points were deducted for improper food protection during storage, unclean non-food con tact surfaces, improper storage of clean equipment and utensils and unaccessible toilet and handwashing facilities (critical item requiring immediate attention). It was a regularly scheduled inspection. Taco Cabana at 701 S. Texas Ave. Score — 90. Points were de ducted for unclean non-food contact surfaces, unclean food contact surfaces and utensils and improper storage of toxic items (major vio lation). It was a regularly scheduled inspection. Red Lobster Restaurant at 813 S. Texas Ave. Score — 90. Points were deducted for improper food protection during storage, unclean non-food contact surfaces, unsatisfactory maintenance of food con tact surface areas and unaccessible toilet and handwashing facilities (critical item requiring immediate attention). The restaurant was in spected because of a complaint. SCORED BETWEEN 85 AND 89: Hunan Restaurant at 707 S. Texas Ave. Score — 86 Points were deducted for improper storage of clean utensils, unclean non-food contact surfaces of equipment and utensils, inadequate plumbing maintenance, personnel’s failure to wear hair restraint, unclean walls and ceilings and improper storage of toxic items (major violation). It was a regularly scheduled inspection. David Jefferson, a registered sanitarian at the department, said restaurants with scores of 95 or above generally have excellent opera tions and facilities. He said restaurants with scores in the 70s or low 80s usually have serious violations in the health report. Scores can be misleading, Jefferson said, because restaurants can get the same score by having several minor violations or a few major violations. He said the minor violations can be corrected during the inspection. Point deductions or violations in the report range from one point (minor violations) to five points (major violations). Jefferson said the department might close a restaurant if the score is below 60, the personnel have infectious diseases, the restaurant lacks adequate refrigeration, there is a sewage backup in the building or the restaurant has a complete lack of sanitization for the food equipment. The department inspects each restaurant every six months. Jef ferson said 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. fnspectors at the department are registered sanitarians. son Jt coffeehouse music...poetry...drama...art...comedy 4r MSC Town Hall is currently seeking entertainers for Coffeehouse.
