- 3 - Ms. Martins said if she ever meets with the Board again she certainly will be more prepared thaft she is tonight. Ms. Martins said that "massage" is only partly her professions where it is Ms. Hayward's full time profession. Just what will be the type of massage that will be given if a license would be obtained, Mr. Lambie asked. I thought it would be "Swedish" massage. We do not allow sports medicine massage or deep muscle massage. It is massage for beauty and relaxation Ms. Martins said. After further discussion the Board told Ms. Martins everything she does do from now on will need a permit and they suggested she be more prepared at any future meetings. She will need a variance, also, to operate a massage parlor without a physical therapist on the premises. MISCELLANEOUS Ms. Martins and.Ms. Hayward thanked the Board and retired. The Board discussed the "massage license" for Ms. Martins and voted not to issue a permit and also agreed that they are against giving her a variance, this would mean, if granted, that no physical therapist in the shop. It is the Board's decision that it is not in the interest of public health to grant this permit. Ms. Smith will write Ms. Martins a letter informing her of the Board's decision and will send a copy to Ms. Hayward. Briefly, Mr. Smith commented on: 1) rDNA - Mr. Norman Cohen, Town Counsel, has not returned the final draft as yet. 2) Breast cancer - Senator Kraus was not at the last meeting but these meetings will go on for sometime. They are going to take another year of data. 3) Prostrate cancer - It has been reported that Lexington has the highest rate of prostrate cancer in the country. The Center for Disease Control is looking into this. 4) Rabies Clinic - The clinic is all set for June 6th and June 7th. Dr. Smith is supplying the Vets. 5) Health Fair only had 150 people there. 6) Our mosquito program is progressing. Linda Behar will have a display for Discovery Day. 7) Restaurants - There were lot of problems with Minute Man Technical Vocational School Restaurants. They are being taken care of. 1 1
