Bordeaux was one of seven schools inspected October 15, 16 and 19. No violations were detect- ed at Pioneer, Evergreen Elemen- tary, Mountain View Elementary, Olympic Middle School and Grape- view School, but Bordeaux was docked five red demerits because, according to their report, its walk- in cooler was "not holding at the proper temperature." No violations were detected at Southside School when it was in- spected on October 29, Shelton High School and Oakland Bay Junior High School when they were inspected on November 2 or CHOICE Alternative School when it was inspected on November 20. Red violations involve improper practices or procedures which pro- mote foodborne illness, and the county requires food handlers to correct deficiencies within a set time. High-risk factors may be reinspected to ensure compliance with repeat high-risk violations subject to enibrcement actions. Blue demerits are assigmed upon detection of low-risk factors that enhance the addition of pathogens, chemicals and physical objects into food items. Deficiencies in the low-risk areas must be corrected by the next routine inspection. ROUTINE INSPECTIONS conducted by Mosley and Swier detected some problems.

McDonald's, Belfair, got two blue demerits on November 26 because physical facilities were not properly main- tained. Jack in the Box, Shelton, got five blue demerits on Novem- ber 27 because a gasket in the cool- ing equipment needed replacing and food handlers were wearing jewelry while preparing food. Union Store, Union, got five red demerits on November 20 be- cause food worker cards were not available for inspection and two blue demerits because the man- agement was unable to locate the county health permit.
