16 violations in addition to the original g. The majodty of the violations are mostly facility-based, not, cleaning issues, although the restaurant was not as clean as it could have been. Lucy Burton t accompanied Glen and Veronica on the 2115106 inspection tour. Lucy stated that in a discussion with the owner, certain violations were designated that should be taken.care of immediately. The owner would be given 60 days to correct the other more difficult problems which would require-hiring a contractor to do the necessary work. It was agreed that Veronica Warden would return on 2121106 to reinspect the premises. If by that date the violations were not remedied (with the exception of the shed in the back which needed a new roof and flooring, and disposal of an old freezer), the restaurant would be closed. It was also recommended to the owner that he set up a regular training schedule for his staff. Glenn Santos made a motion to shut down the restaurant if all violations are not taken care of by 21211063 excluding the repair of the shed. In' addition, the owner is to come before the next BOH meeting on 01/06 with an on-site training contract and schedule for his employees, as well as a schedule of on- going reports to the B H on the progress of the.training. Lucy Burton seconded the motion. All approved. DISCUSSION Department of Public Realty~ cancer Forum on DPH cancer Study in sandwich Glen Harrington reported on the scheduling of a public forum to discuss the State Department of Public Health's recently completed study of an unusual grouping and a high rate of childhood cancer cases in the Town of Sandwich. The forum is set for Tuesday, February 28 , 2000, beginning at 3 PM in the Sandwich Human Services Building: 270 Quaker Meeting House Road in East Sandwich. Glen stated that he had been invited by Representative Jeffrey Perry to sit on the panel but hes not yet been contacted by the state Dept. of Health to do so. Because of the close proximity of I ashpee to sandwich, there is a natural concern among Mashpee residents as to the results of the study by the state. The _ report from the State recommended that an in-depth investigation be conducted into each of the families with cases of childhood cancer to determine whether there were any common exposures or activities that were common to these cases. Glen Harrington stated that because he had not contributed any input into the preparation of the report by the state, he felt that it would not be appropriate for him to be on the panel. However, he and Glenn - Santos both plan to attend the forum and will be asking lots of questions. Glen Harrington noted that included in the cancer report from the state was a report of the overall incidence of cancer in Ma tepee. However, age groups were not identified in the Mashpee report.
