Recent health inspections flag Northville eateries

Recent health inspections in some Northville restaurants found improper handwashing, improper food storage and more between September and November, according to Wayne County Health Department inspection reports. Many of the violations have been corrected. The presence of violations in a past inspection does not necessarily mean the establishment has the same violations today. Inspection reports can be found at swordsolutions.com/inspections/. Below is a list of violations found at a few restaurants in Northville. Deccan Bawarchi, 17933 Haggerty Road During a routine inspection on September 15, an inspector noted several problems at Deccan Bawarchi. ∎ During the inspection, employees were never seen washing their hands, even though they moved from food preparation areas to dish areas, to grabbing supplies from stock areas, and returning. Whenever employees want to start food preparation tasks or return from leaving after completing non-food preparation tasks hand washing should be done before donning new pair of gloves. Wash hands before putting on gloves and preparing food. Corrected through instruction. ∎ Prep line cooler was malfunctioning and holding all potentially hazardous food items inside between 52-54F. This included cooked chicken, paneer cheese, mayo, lentil soup, and cooked chickpeas. Potentially hazardous ready-to-eat food should be kept below 41F.

High school football: Breaking down the top games in Round 3

Detroit Edison coach Chan Brock wasn’t going to get caught looking ahead. With Edison (10-1) facing Clinton in the Division 6 district final last Saturday, he could have spent the night before scouting Ecorse (10-1) for a potential regional final matchup between the Charter School Conference rivals on Saturday, Nov. 14. Instead, he used that time to get an extra night of preparation for Clinton. It paid off when Edison pulled off a 26-24 comeback victory to win its third district title in four seasons. But the second Brock handed the championship trophy to his captains, his attention shifted to Ecorse, which Edison narrowly defeated 30-20 in a de facto CSC Gold Division title game in Week 8. More: How a boxing gym helped Detroit Edison football handle adversity “Ecorse now has our full attention,” Brock said. “Obviously, we played them before, but we know it’s not going to be the same team. We know they’re going to play us harder, so we’ve got to play harder, too.” That’s a scary thought considering how well Edison played against Clinton, which was a 15-point favorite according to the analytics released by high school football website Goosepoop.
