The restaurants listed below were inspected by the
Brazos County Health Department between Feb. 4
and 8. Information is from a food service establish
ment inspection report.
SCORED BETWEEN 100 AND 95:
Pop’s Barbeque, Inc. 2319 S. Texas Ave. Score —
98. Points were deducted for unclean non-food con
tact surfaces and inadequate repair of walls and ceil
ings. It was a regularly scheduled inspection.
Student Komer 1802 Welsh Drive. Score — 98.
Points were deducted for inadequate hand cleansers.
It was a regularly scheduled inspection.
Sonic Drive-In 2900 S. Texas Ave. Score — 96.
Points were deducted for inaccessible toilet and
handwashing facilities. It was a regularly scheduled
inspection.
Confucius Chinese 2322 S. Texas Ave. Score —
96. Points were deducted for unclean non-food con
tact surfaces, unclean floors and reuse of single serv
ice articles. It was a regularly scheduled inspection.
SCORDED BETWEEN 94 AND 90:
Jack In The Box 1504 S. Texas Ave. Score — 91.
Points were deducted for unmaintained food sur
faces, inaccessible toilet and handwashing facilities,
inadequate hand drying devices and hand cleansers
and unclean non-food surfaces. It was a regularly
scheduled inspection.
SCORED BETWEEN 89 AND 85:
Fuddruckers 2206 S. Texas Avenue. Score — 88.
Points were deducted for unclean floors, inaccessible
toilet and handwashing facilities, inadequate single
service articles, inadequate food protection during
service, unclean nonfood surfaces, unmaintained
plumbing and inadequate hand drying devices.
David Jefferson, a registered sanitarian at the de
partment, said restaurants with scores of 95 or abovt
generally have excellent operations and facilities. He
said restaurants with scores in the 70s or low 80s
usually have serious violations in the health report.
Scores can he 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 in
spection. 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 res
taurant if the score is below 60, the personnel have
infectious diseases, the restaurant lacks adequate re
frigeration, 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. Jefferson said a follow-up inspection is
sometimes required if a restaurant has a four- or
five-point violation that cannot be corrected during
the inspection, or if there are numerous small viola
tions.
Inspectors at the department are registered sani-
tarians. -
Carswell AFB makes hit list
for Pentagon base cut backs
Texas organ
banks need
tissue donors
ODESSA (AP) — Directors at
some organ banks in Texas are re
minding donors that skin, like blood,
is also needed to help soldiers in
jured during the Persian Gulf War.
The thought of donating their de
ceased loved ones’ tissue may upset
some people, but Becky Cameron,
field coordinator for the Southwest
Organ Bank, says tissue donations
are essential to the survival of se
verely burned persons.
Ellen Heck, director of transplant
services at Southwestern Medical
Center in Dallas, said unlike organ
donations, which are made when a
person is brain dead, skin can be do
nated up to 18 hours after death.
Heck keeps officials at Brooke
Army Hospital in San Antonio,
where most burn victims from Saudi
Arabia would be taken, informed
about supplies at her tissue bank.
Skin aonations already are badly
needed, she said.
“(The war) should increase peo-
le’s awareness,” she said. “But we
aven’t seen an increase in dona
tions. The system is already strained
and when a major disaster occurs, ei
ther civilian or military, it’s going to
be really hard.”
Most people know about giving
blood, but few prepare to donate
skin, Cameron said.
“I always try to make it a point to
tell people that tissue is taken from
places of the body that will still allow
there to be an open casket funeral,”
she said.
A thin layer of skin is removed
from the back, buttocks and legs, she
said.
Cameron said skin donations do
not have to be matched to a recipi
ent. Donated skin is used as a tempo
rary dressing to retain fluid in the
body and prevent infections before a
skin graft can be done.
Skin grafts usually are done with a
burn victim’s own skin or with do
nated tissue if burns cover a great
percentage of the body, Cameron
said.
FORT WORTH (AP) — Carswell
Air Force Base is on a Pentagon “hit
list” of bases targeted for closure,
sources close to the base say.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram
reported that although the final clo
sure list is still far from complete,
some supporters of the base said the
facility appears to be a prime target.
Carswell Air Force Base officials
refused to confirm or deny the ru
mors.
“We cannot speculate what will
happen,” a Carswell spokesman said.
“That announcement would not be
made locally.”
Pentagon officials are targeting
bases for closure as part of a three-
step plan approved by Congress last
year. Defense Secretary Dick Che
ney has said he will send the final list
of closure candidates to a special
Base Closing Commission on April
15.
The eight-member commission,
which has the authority to change
Cheney’s proposal, is scheduled to
send its recommendations to Presi
dent Bush on July 1.
“The only place that the Depart
ment of Defense is dropping more
bombs on than Tarrant County is
Baghdad,” Rep. Pete Geren, D-
Texas, of Fort Worth, said. “I hope
this isn’t true. Carswell is a big part
of our community.”
The Defense Department plans to
scale back its strategic bomber force
from 268 aircraft to 171 by late
1993. The cutback will involve re
tiring B-52 bombers, the backbone
of the Strategic Air Command. Cars
well Air Force Base has about 26 B
52s.
“I certainly see SAC being a muck
smaller force in the future," Teck
Sgt. Alan Dockery, a SAC spokes
man, said. “I know we’re going tobe
retiring B-52s.”
Geren said:
“I’m hopeful that we won’t end up
on the list, but if we do, our comnw
nity is going to make as strong a ase
as possible to convince the commis
sion that Carswell deserves to con
tinue. It would be a real tragedy to i
lose that facility.”
