Most Wichita Falls eateries rated 'excellent' EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first in a series of articles. By Pat Counsell Staff Writer In a scene repeated hundreds of times each year, a Wichita Falls health inspector walked into a city restaurant expecting to make a routine check of the establishment. The inspector didn't expect the manager to hand him the keys as he headed out the door. Patrons were still eating meals as the manager told the puzzled inspector to lock up when he was finished. The mystery ended when the inspector went into the kitchen.
The restaurant made one of the lowest inspection scores ever recorded in Wichita County. Health officials wound up calling the restaurant's owners and requiring them to correct violations before they could reopen. Other notes from health department inspection files: Roaches in spices and salad dressing in a restaurant. Carpet stain remover stored next to powdered drink mix in an institutional cafeteria. Dented and badly swollen cans on supply shelves of a restaurant.
A coffee shop serving homecanned okra and outdated buttermilk. Health officials say the first example, the departing manager. was an extreme case that happened several years ago and is not likely to recur. The other examples were culled from health department files. The restaurants were ordered to immediately correct the problems.
Most food service establishments in Wichita County pass inspections, said Reuben Warren, supervisor of the health department's food control division. "Most of them are good, most of them understand." he said. Recent estimates indicate the food and beverage service industry is at least a $145 billion a year Deaths- Businessman, city leader dies STAYTON Funeral for Burton A.

Experts say the Tylenol poisonings and other food alteration incidents triggered increasing scrutiny of food service products. In Wichita Falls, establishments are graded on a standardized 100-point form used throughout the state. Establishments must score 60 or more to pass. A Wichita Falls Times review of 1983 and 1984 inspection scores of more than 400 Wichita Falls establishments revealed an 89.5 average, an "excellent" score, health officials said. But the average may not reflect an accurate picture of health inspection scores because of the broad category of food service establishments subject to inspections.
At any given time, the food control division of the Wichita Health Unit oversees inspections of 650 food service establishments in Wichita County, Warren said. "Food service establishment" means everything from the corner convenience store selling milk and microwave-ready sandwiches to the swankiest white-tableclothed eatery. The category also includes bars, food warehouses and institutional cafeterias. Cobb, Burkburnett BURKBURNETT Ira Leslie Cobb. 82.

Yet inspectors check bars for cleanliness and hygenic glasscleaning practices. Bartenders must be licensed food handlers and meet the same requirements for food handlers in other establishments. Because of the difference, "We might be harder on a bar with a (score of) 70 points than a restaurant," Warren said. The 44-item inspection covers food, personnel, equipment, construction and other operations. "Critical items" carry a weight of four or five points.
Critical items include keeping "potentially hazardous food" at required temperatures, safe, pressurized, hot and cold running water, proper storage of toxic substances and absence of rodents or insects. Temperatures are stressed in food handlers training. "Potentially hazardous foods" are those in danger of spoilage if not kept hot or cold. Cold foods must be kept at 45 degrees or below. Hot foods must be maintained at 140 degrees or above.

In an average year, the food control division: -inspects establishments at least twice, with as many as four visits to some businesses. They also make inspections on complaints and follow -up of routine visits.
-issues 4,000 to 4,500 food handlers cards and renewals -writes 200 to 300 tickets on violations ranging from working without a food handlers card to refusing to comply with health regulations. The department enforces a combination of federal, state and municipal law. Wichita Falls has a broader definition of food service establishments than the state law, Warren said. The state Legislature may consider broadening its definition in the next session. Warren said the city ordinances also need to be overhauled.
"Our ordinance, quite frankly, is outdated," he said. The ordinance mentions a rating inspectors haven't used for years. Falls. Larry Dale Mascari and Marlene Theresa Cameron, Iowa Park. Coleman Joshua Asbury and Polly Claudia Walden, Wichita Falls.
