No priority violations at most Greene Co. kitchens inspected recently

Out of 51 routine inspections, more than 75% of the kitchens the Springfield-Greene County Health Department visited had no priority violations. Across the 39 inspections that had no priority violations, 31 had no violations at all. Issues found during inspections fall into either priority or non-priority violations. Priority violations impact the safety of the food, such as cross-contamination between raw and ready-to-eat food, improper food temperature and poor personal hygiene and employee health. Multiple priority violations can lead to an establishment being shut down. Non-priority violations alone do not directly affect food safety, such as dirty floors, sticky tabletops or outside trash cans not being covered.

7 Brew opens for business in Monett

The 7 Brew coffee business has opened its doors in Monett. A ribbon-cutting was held by the Monett Area Chamber of Commerce on Oct. 20. Cheryl Caraway, Chamber executive director, stands at far right, next to Mayor Randy Burke. Representing the business at the ceremony were Chris Sebald, operator, at the right edge of the check, and Ethan Meyer, holding the scissors. The occasion also provided an opportunity for Sebald to present a check for $16,250 to Children’s Center of Southwest Missouri, which has a facility in Monett. Funds were raised as donations during 7 Brew’s opening weekend, Oct. 16-18, when free drinks were given and donations accepted, part of 7 Brews’ “Caffeine for a Cause.” Carrie Hartley, development manager for the Children’s Center, fifth from left in the front row, said the money will be used to continue providing services in the face of serious state and federal funding cuts. The Children’s Center offers a one-stop for interviewing child abuse victims and connecting families with restorative and mental health assistance. 7 Brew is located off Hwy. 60 in Monett, east of Plaza Drive.

Christian County resident has confirmed case of measles, DHSS says

A Christian County resident has a confirmed case of measles, according to a Nov. 5 news release from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services . The resident contracted measles following an exposure to the illness in another Missouri county, the news release said, and those who have been exposed are being contacted. No additional public exposures have been reported. “With this case, we can no longer view measles as a disease of faraway places or the distant past,” said Christian County Health Administrator Aaron Winslow in the news release. “It has arrived in our community. While it appears that this case will not ignite a community outbreak, due mainly to the exceptional efforts of state and local public health officials, we may not be so fortunate next time. While we will redouble our efforts to prepare for response, the best way to prevent community outbreaks and spare us from the negative health and economic impacts that have been seen in other states is to achieve community immunity through vaccination.” Here's what to know about what measles is, how it spreads , how to stay safe from it , how to know if you need a vaccine , measles
