Board of Health

“complimented” for the work he has done relative to the restaurant inspections. However, bringing homemade foods to schools, preschools, etc. is a differemt matter, he noted. “PERSONALLY, I’D like to see some of these places exempt (from the food ordinance),” Walton said. “I know the commissioners would be willing to go along with whatever is needed to ease the situation.” At that point, county attorney Bob Lowe explained the county’s Food Ordinance is not “creating new law,” but is only following what is already state law. “The Board of Health can’t ignore the law, even if they can’t enforce it on a regular basis,” Lowe stressed. “If they get a complaint, they can’t turn their head and look the other way. “WHAT GREG (NEESE) was trying to do with the preschool is let (officials) know what the law is and try to educate them,” Lowe added. “Now, how they proceed from that point is their business.” Lowe did say if residents want to see a change in the state law it must be done at the state legislative level. Neese pointed out later the situation had “blossomed” into a full-fledged issue. Neese said neither he, nor the Health Department, is not trying to impose regulations where no child’s birthday cake, homemade cookies, etc. could not be brought to a school. BOARD MEMBER Druckemiller approved notifying the public about the ordinance, and noted if a question about liability does occur, it will be answered by the courts. Druckemiller also said he believes it is important to

“apply the law equally” with any other group. Therefore, Druckemiller suggested Neese draft a letter which states clearly what the code provides. And, although there is limited personnel, Druckemiller said an attempt should be made to apply the law “evenly all over the county.” “THAT GIVES GREG (Neese) the authority to enforce the law, as required,” Druckemiller determined. Druckemiiler made a motion that the Health Department adhere to the Indiana Code relative to the food ordinance, and follow up by distributing information to Putnam County residents how (the ordinance) will be applied and enforced. His motion was seconded by Loren Salsman. Voting for the motion were Druckemiller, Salsman, Brattain and Graffis. Dr. Robert Heavin abstained. Dr. Greg Larkin was absent. PRIOR TO THE meeting’s end, Commissioner Beck did say he has heard good comments about Neese’s efforts to regulate health laws, saying there “has been a difference” in Putnam County during the last year. In addition, Walton said he has heard positive comments about the retail food sanitarian, realizing the job is a difficult one. In addition to Neese and Ellett, officials attending the Health Board session included Environmental Sanitarian Doug Van Demark, Health Nurse Rosalie Graham, Health Office administrative assistant Carolyn Fowler, John Whitley, Putnam County’s inspector at the Heritage Environmental Services landfill located near Russellville; and Richard Forice, who represents northern Putnam County residents in matters that come before the Health Board relating to that area.

Decorate-it-Yourself Home Improvement Tips From Barbara Feld Patch and Repair

Plasterboard Walls Before Pointing

Most homeowners who try to paint or wallpaper over damaged plasterboard walls wish they had taken the time to repair the wallboard first. Objects shoved against wallboard sometimes make dents or scratches in the surface. These are merely indentations, not actual breaks, and they can be repaired with a minimum of effort. Begin by sanding the surface thoroughly, which will roughen the area and provide a good base for joint filler compound. Use a three-inch or four-inch spreader for applying a good grade of joint compound. Spread it evenly and press it firmly into the dented areas. If the dents are extremely large, it may be necessary to let the compound dry overnight and then apply a second coat. When it is completely dry, sand the area until it is smooth. Plasterboard walls that have cracked can also be repaired, but it

takes a little more effort. Various types of patching powders and compounds are available for patching wallboard. Some are powder, others are offered in paste form. Be sure the cracked area which is to be patched is completely clean and dry. Remove all dirt from the area around the crack. Clean out the crack and apply the patching piaster with a wide and flexible putty knife. Apply the patching plaster by working across the crack with strokes in both directions, as this tends to work the plaster into the crack better than strokes in one direction. Remove any surplus patching material by using the putty knife as a scraper, and after the area has dried completely, it is ready to be sanded. Your plasterboard walls should be good as new and ready for priming for paint or preparing for wallcovering.
