456 BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING FEBRUARY 20, 1985 The monthly meeting of the Board of Health was held Wednesday, February 20, 1985 at 7:15 p.m. in Room G-15 of the Town Office Building. Members present were: Mr. James W. Lambie, Chairman; Donald A. Goldmann, M.D., Howard B. Asarkof, D.D.S., and Mr. George A. Smith, Director of Public Health. The minutes of the January 21, 1985 meetingwere accepted with one correction. In regard to Mr. Chris Bejorian coming into the meeting asking for a variance to sell a new product to the owners of hot tubs, etc. to be used instead of chlorine. The secretary omitted to say that this variance was denied by the Board. Correction made. Mrs. Debbie Halko, Sanitarian for the Health Department, told the SANTARIAN Board she had the opportunity to tour the Natick Labs facility, a REPORT military research and development installation. She saw how they freeze dry and package food for soldiers and army personnel on maneuvers or training. Following the tour there was a presentation on army clothing designed for various activities and for all climates. Research continues in this area to improve clothing worn in the field to provide more ease of movement, warmth or ventilation. After the tour Nancy Ridley, Director of State Food and Drug gave a presenta- tion on proposed changes in State regulations for food service and retail food establishments. Mrs. Halko told the Board she had gone to the Town of Brookline and observed several housing inspections and obtained useful information on investigating com- plaints and violations. Debbie's routine inspections during the month included several food establish- ments and church kitchens. She also went to investigate a complaint against Castiello's that proved unfounded while she was ther Mrs. Halko found several areas requiring improvements that she discussed with the owner. The Board of Health adopted the temporary food service regulations as they stand and they are to be published. Sallie Parson Haywood has applied for a license to be a masseuse at Lisa's Finishing Touches on Bedford Street. There are two considerations for this (1) a masseuse has to work in a "licensed" establishment. (2) Ms. Haywood will have to come before the Board of Health and supply the Board with more information. Ms. Haywood was licensed as a masseuse in the City of Waltham and MASSEUSE Dr. Asarkof said he had checked with the Waltham Police and found that LICENSE she had excellent references. Ms. Haywood's license (if she was to receive one) would have to be pending until the establishment that she plans to work for was issued a license to operate. Ms. Haywood would like to go into people's homes to massage but the local Board of Health Regulations does not allow this.
